LENDER OWNED SEALED BID AUCTION
50 Million Gallon per year Biodiesel Facility on 13.52± Acres
Real Estate & Equipment Selling Separately or as Entirety
Reason for Sale: BN National Trail Biodiesel LLC., purchased and planned to complete an unfinished scalable 50 million gallon per year multi-feedstock capable biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. During construction of the plant the company fell behind on payments to the lender and eventually lost ownership of the site and equipment through foreclosure. The land and all equipment is now owned by Iuka State Bank. Iuka State Bank has now decided to sell the site and auction all equipment via Sealed Bid Auction.
Plant Summary: The 13.52± acre site has room to expand in several directions with land owned by the city and a municipal economic development group. The majority of the infrastructure has already been installed.
Several buildings have been completed along with extensive pipe racking in the process plant to the future tank farm. The main process building has 75% of the structural steel installed. The remaining framing/wall/roof components for completion are staged onsite. A partially completed private rail spur with scale sits adjacent to three tracks owned by Indiana Railroad Company. Two truck scales have been installed at the North and East end of the property. The plant consists of process equipment designed by Kreido Biofuels and includes spinning tube-in-tube (STT) reactors, distillation columns and modular process skids. An additional reaction skid could be added to boost production to 62+ MMGY. Electrical equipment and control system was supplied by Siemens and Allen Bradley. The boiler was supplied by Superior, cooling towers by Evapco, chiller by McQuay. The plant has been online and produced biodiesel. The lines and tanks have been drained while the plant has been idle.
This property is in an Enterprise Zone, a TIF District and an Opportunity Zone in one of the busiest trucking corridors in the country. The City of Newton also has some Electric Incentives.
This and more information can be found on the Jasper County Economic Development, Inc. website.
