Danger!

Sewer Spills

NO! OSHA

Utility Management? Law Enforcement? Proactive Protection

The Culprit

Commercial Residential FOG Sewers

Grease Management Program Commercial Businesses Grease Management Plan

Which is more dangerous?

= A Thousand Cuts OIL Every 10k Customers = 7 barrels / month!

Clogged Arteries The Problem Clogged Sewers Grease Constricted Flow Sewer Pipe

CostEffective?

Cost Effective?

Address the Source of the Problem

Free Voluntary Residential Customers Oil & Grease Recycling

Oil Jug

Recycling Stations

…is in WHERE they are. The Secret…

Grocery Stores

Walmart

Gas Station

Apartment Complex

Recycling Center

Drop It Off

Pick Up The UsedOil

Empty The Jugs

40% Less

80% Reduction!

Return on Investment Start-up cost - $3,000 What does a sewer spill cost?

What about the oil?

Ive got an idea… (Embrace the happy accident)

Biodiesel Plant Converts used oil into biodiesel fuel

Biodiesel Plant Biodiesel Plant Mark I

Biodiesel Plant Mark II

Biodiesel Plant Current Plant

BioPro

Finished Fuel B20 20% biodiesel 80% regular diesel

Fleet Fuel My truck smells like French fries!! Emergency Generators Biodiesel Uses

B20 Biodiesel Emission Type B20 Carbon Monoxide- 12.6% Hydrocarbons- 11% Nitrogen Oxides+1.2 % Carcinogens- 12% - 20% Carbon Dioxide *- 15.7% Source: National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Golden, Colorado

Biodiesel Less smoke Greater lubricity Superior detergency

Benefits to Us Low cost (about $1/ gallon) Made from a pure waste product A powerful story

Return on Investment Start-up cost - $12,000 Save $2-$3 per gallon 100 gals per week X 40 weeks $8k – $12k per year cost savings The Story - Priceless

By-Product of Making Biodiesel Glycerin

Glycerin Soap A Creative Connection!!!

What Were NOT

Eastern Shore Chamber of Commerce 2007 Environmental Award Alabama League of Municipalities Municipal Achievement Award Olde Towne Daphne Spirit Award Baldwin County Commission Environmental Award Award-Winning Utilities

Where to from here?

Oil Recycling and Biodiesel today… …protects the water supply of tomorrow!
