Biodiesel manufacturers are facing a variety of new challenges that they must deal with in order to be successful in the current economy. Survival and success in this market requires advanced skills and a keen understanding of the latest technologies and processes.

Join us for an exciting one-and-a-half day short course in which we cover the latest “hot topics” that currently affect the biodiesel industry. Experts will provide thorough coverage of biodiesel processing methods, plus advanced training on those topics that are critical for biodiesel producers in the next few years. A tour of the chemical engineering test lab and the university’s pilot-scale biodiesel plant will also highlight the event. Attendees will receive a copy of the technical manual “Building a Successful Biodiesel Business” as part of the short course.
