so it will require user intervention to
reset a temperature condition after
the temperature returns to a safe level.
The High Limit Aquastat card replaces
auxiliary manual-reset high limit
aquastats such as L4006E and L4008E.
The card just needs to be plugged in
and only requires sensor and well
installation to become operational.
The OC Panel simplifies the installation
and operation of both the FWZ and AWR
boilers. Inventory is simple as well, as the
Card Kits are the same on both boilers, with
the only difference being the panel that they
snap into. For more information on the OC
Panel and Card Kits, contact a Crown Boiler
distributor or sales representative.

Biodiesel producer and marketer
Renewable Energy Group
®
, Inc. recently
announced it has entered into an agree-
ment with Dutch Hill Terminals, a leading
heating oil terminal in New Jersey, to
market biodiesel and biodiesel blended
heating oil at its Clifton, N.J., location.
“This terminal position will give us
additional capacity to serve the existing
markets in the Northeast and prepare
for potential growth moving into 2014,”
said Gary Haer, REG Vice President,
Sales and Marketing. “As the region
increases its consumption of biodiesel
in transportation fuel and Bioheat
®
REG
will continue to provide a reliable source
of high quality, clean burning, advanced
biofuel.”
REG Clifton is located at 568 Paulison
Ave. and now has REG biodiesel blended
heating oil available. The company will
offer other high quality biodiesel blends
for transportation fuel during seasonal
periods from the Clifton terminal as well.
REG has five other terminal locations in
the Northeast, including Whippany and
Bayonne, New Jersey and New York loca-
tions in New Hyde Park, Port Chester,
Ontario and Brookhaven.
The New Jersey State Legislature is
currently considering legislation that
would require heating oil to contain
a 3 percent biodiesel blend (B3), then
increasing to five percent (B5). New York
City has already implemented a citywide
requirement of B2 in heating oil, and the
New York State Legislature passed a bill
which would phase in a B2 requirement
statewide over two years beginning with
the 2014-2015 heating oil season. As data
presented by the City of New York shows,
cleaner heating oil has had a profound
impact on the air quality and health of the
residents of the city.
“REG Clifton is a great addition to
our biodiesel sales and distribution capa-
bilities in the Northeast market,” said Dave
Elsenbast, REG Vice President, Supply
Chain. “This position allows us to further
expand in the incentivized and growing
biodiesel market.”
In other company news, REG formally
opened the latest in a series of major
enhancements to its biodiesel operations
with a ribbon cutting at the new barge
loading facility at the company’s Seneca,
Ill., biorefinery. State and local officials and
business leaders joined REG leadership to
mark the occasion, as well as witness the
first barge shipment of 420,000 gallons of
biodiesel from the multi-feedstock, 60-
million gallon annual nameplate capacity
plant located by the Illinois River. The
barge loading facility will be supported by
the addition of 2.5 million gallons of new
terminal storage. REG’s total investment in
these upgrades is about $4.5 million.
“The barge berth at REG Seneca further
enhances our lower-cost, efficient business
model,” said Daniel J. Oh, President and
CEO of Renewable Energy Group, Inc.
“Adding more barge capabilities to our net-
work of biorefineries and terminals across
the country gives REG another capability
for providing high quality biodiesel to our
existing and future customers.”
Biodiesel is also shipped from Seneca
by truck and rail. REG also has barge and
deepwater ship loading capability at its
Houston biorefinery and its New York
Harbor terminal location at the IMTT
facility in Bayonne, N.J. REG owns and
operates eight biodiesel refineries in four
states with a combined annual nameplate
production capacity of 257 million gallons.
“Every full barge that leaves Seneca
equates to about 65 truckloads of biod-
iesel,” said Brad Albin, REG Vice President,
Manufacturing. “This not only increases
efficiencies, but expands the geography and
customer base we can cover through the
inland waterways system.”
The Seneca barge facility marks
the fourth major project completion or
announcement of a new project by REG
