Service Review Antioch International Inc. engineers and manages biofuels rail projects. “We specialize in rail projects for the agricultural industry,” said President William Jones. He said Antioch will design rail track layouts to meet the specific needs of the client, negotiating with the rail carrier to ensure it also meets the railroad’s requirements. “Some rail carriers will want to have the track built a certain way,” Jones said. “We will negotiate with the carrier to persuade it to agree to a design product that is in the best interest of the client.” In addition, Antioch will help plants with unit train needs, and with shipping and receiving multiple commodities such as feedstocks, fuel, and distillers grains. Antioch International, founded in 1997, has been working with the ethanol industry since 2001 and also works with biodiesel plants. Jones said Antioch pioneered the loop-track concept for unit trains. In addition, all of the key employees at the firm have at least 30 years experience in the rail industry, Jones noted. The company, which originally was based in Omaha, NE, relocated to New Braunfels, TX, in 2008 and has offices in Omaha and Rice Lake, WI.

Aeroglide custom-designs a DDGS dryer for the needs of the customer. One option is the three-pass rotary, which puts the material through three layers of drying in the same tube for maximum efficiency and little loss of heat transfer.
