Imperium Grays Harbor

On August 15, 2007, we officially opened Imperium Grays Harbor (IGH), the nation's largest BQ 9000 certified biodiesel plant. IGH has a 100 million gallon per year nameplate capacity and we produce some of the world's highest quality fuel that exceeds the most stringent specifications put forth by any commercial standard. IGH dedicated 95 percent of construction expenditures on state-based firms, creating more than 350 construction-related jobs. Leading the project's construction was JH Kelly, a Longview Washington based industrial scale construction company.

About Imperium Grays Harbor

IGH is capable of producing pure, unblended B100 biodiesel refined from a variety of oils; canola grown in Washington State and Canada, soy, and many other crops. Our goal is producing biodiesel at the lowest possible cost, passing our efficiencies along to our customers. Our next generation, proprietary technology produces a consistently high-quality fuel that exceeds all American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) D 6751 standards and the European Standard EN 14214. When possible, we use local feedstock sources and work directly with regional farmers to develop the finest virgin feedstock oils for use in our processors. Our "farmer to fuel pump" approach and commitment to local production benefits our regional economy by keeping energy dollars within our communities.

Distribution Quality Assurance
Our commitment to excellence extends through our distribution partners, who meet rigorous standards for all fuel transportation and distribution equipment, maintaining quality control from our facility to the pump. IGH is a certified BQ-9000 production facility. BQ-9000 is a voluntary quality assurance program lead by the National Biodiesel Accreditation Commission (NBAC). It is essential that all biodiesel is tested prior to sale, which is why IGH has an extensive in-house lab that participates in ASTM round robin testing.

Safe and Beneficial
Made from renewable vegetable oils, our B100 biodiesel is a non-toxic, biodegradable and safe fuel that works in any conventional diesel engine. Our biodiesel improves air quality by reducing harmful pollutants, and provides a domestically grown fuel that benefits local economies while leaving them cleaner and greener.

Imperium Grays Harbor offers a safer, cleaner fuel for the future - right now. Capture the advantages of cleaner technologies and more efficient fleets that will drive your company forward.

Imperium Grays Harbor produces and sells crude glycerin (a co-product of our refining process.) If interested, please email glycerin@imperiumrenewables.com.
