Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Pacific Ethanol Incorporated (NASDAQ:PEIX) (Sacramento, California) is currently going through commissioning activities and is expected to put its Stockton, California, fuel ethanol plant online in two weeks.
Construction of the estimated $100 million plant began in June 2007 and took 14 months to complete. Delta-T Corporation (Williamsburg, Virginia) installed the production equipment, and construction of buildings was provided by WM Lyles Company (Fresno, California).
The rail siding into the facility was recently completed, and Pacific expects to begin taking in corn within the next week and start grinding corn during the week of August 18. The plant is located on a 30-acre site within the Port of Stockton and has transportation infrastructure that includes barge, rail and highway access.
The plant will produce 50 million gallons per year (gal/yr) of the renewable fuel and will require over 19 million bushels of corn feedstock annually. Feedstock and finished products will be marketed by Pacific's subsidiary Kinergy Marketing LLC (Fresno, California).
The Stockton plant will be the fifth plant the company has operating in the U.S. The company has plants in Madera, California (35 million gal/yr), Boardman, Oregon (35 million gal/yr), Burley, Idaho (50 million gal/yr), and Windsor, Colorado (40 million gal/yr). The company had plans to build a sixth plant in Calipatira, California, but recently suspended construction because of market uncertainty.
Pacific Ethanol is also investigating building a demonstration cellulosic-based ethanol plant in Boardman, Oregon, that is scheduled to start construction later this year.
