BIODIESEL Producers will start next month to recruit workers for its Barnawartha plant.

Engineering and operations manager Henry Jung said the company needed 17 people and hoped most of them would come from the Border.

Mr Jung said continuing fine weather meant the $30 million project was on schedule to start production next May.

“I am going to start recruiting staff around mid-October and we will be looking at local people as a preference,” he said.

“A lot of the positions will be laboratory technicians, plant managers, technical operators and reliability engineers.

“I expect to recruit 17 people and we would like most of them to come from this region.”

Mr Jung said the company would use Border providers to train staff.

He said the fine weather meant significant road works had been completed and work was well advanced on the main processing tower and the tank farm.

“We have started lifting in the major tanks.

“We have also installed a large fire wall between the tanker loading-unloading area and the main processing tower.”

Mr Jung said work had started on the electrical component of the project.

The firm was pleased it had been able to use a significant number of contractors from the Border.

“We have Austrian technicians arriving next week from Biodiesel International and they will be here for six months and assist Australian engineers and technicians to bring the plant on line,” Mr Jung said.

The plant has been designed to produce 60 million litres of biodiesel a year.

Tallow and cooking oil will be the main raw ingredients.
