This includes a general manager of operations and all required personnel which will include but not limited to, maintenance staff, operators, chemists and necessary engineers, administration, HR, etc.

The SRS management system is designed to guarantee our customer and their investors an efficient management team relieving them of the tedious duties of day to day operations. SRS will be working with SRS Management, LLC in training new employees on plant management

COMPETITIVE EDGE

SRS will provide SRS Management LLC, a pilot plant at each facility for training and testing purposes. The pilot plant provides a major advantage as it allows a start-up plant to test its biodiesel production at a much smaller level. This minimizes waste of the raw materials and reconfiguration of raw materials to produce higher yield of biodiesel with minimal waste. The pilot plant will also minimize rework while the operators are in training and will allow them to experiment with various feedstocks to establish correct formulations. This system is further available on request by our General Manager to assist in continued training, train new operators, and develop new processes.
