    That's awesome. Besides Ethanol and Biomass plants, I do a lot of work for a couple local customers who are pioneering the infrastructure for alternative fuels. One makes carbon fiber tanks for CNG and Hydrogen (for both transportation & large storage), the other builds the steel containers and trailers that hold/transport huge tanks that the first company builds.

    Play the SONG......not the DRUMS!!!

    "I think that feeling is a lot more important than technique. It's all very well doing a triple paradiddle - but who's going to know you've done it? If you play technically you sound like everybody else. It's being original that counts." ~ John Bonham

    The majority of industry in Japan is operated on large industrial boilers, we manufacture an alternative boiler fuel from offal, waste grease and sewer sludge. The fuel burns like a low sulfur diesel but has minimal emissions.
