Plant Management

SRS Plant Management was created in 2007 as a direct subsidiary of SRS International to produce biodiesel fuels.

SRS International has designed, planned, and implemented equipment for 20+ biodiesel facilities in the past 3 years. Founded in 1985, SRS leads in engineering and manufacturing distillation systems and custom process systems. These systems serve industries such as pharmaceuticals, oil refining, biofuels, and food. Each of these industries has unique requirements, demanding high expertise in chemical, process, mechanical, electrical, and controls engineering. SRS understands that every customer has specific needs, often requiring installation and process management.

We provide our growing customer base with a dedicated “Plug in Place” management team. This team focuses on integrating cutting-edge technology to keep customers up to date with advancements. We ensure highly functional and efficient management operations.

MANAGEMENT CAPABILITIES

Our innovative plant management technique provides customers with a complete package to operate a biodiesel plant. This includes a general manager, maintenance staff, operators, chemists, engineers, and administration personnel.

COMPETITIVE EDGE

SRS will provide SRS Management, a pilot plant at each facility for training and testing purposes. The pilot plant allows start-up plants to test biodiesel production on a smaller scale, minimizing raw material waste. It also reduces rework during operator training and enables experimentation with feedstocks to improve formulations. The system is available for ongoing training and process development, as requested by our General Manager.
