One industry that has discovered the power of Nansulate® thermal insulation and corrosion prevention  coatings is Biofuels/Biodiesel. The industry is very environmentally friendly and cost efficient and have found Nansulate® technology to be a cleaner, more cost effective and long-term insulation solution for insulating their fuel tanks and steam pipes.

These patented nanotechnology-based coatings combine several performance characteristics into a single, easy to apply system, including exceptional thin film thermal insulation, corrosion prevention, moisture resistance, and UV resistance. Nansulate®Translucent PT and Nansulate® Translucent High Heat have been used at Michigan BioDiesel LLC in Bangor Michigan, by Jatro Diesel, and at a new Fruitland Park, Florida facility by Smart Fuels, LLC. The coatings have also been highlighted this year with an article in Ethanol Producer magazine explaining the benefits the coatings provide for energy savings and asset protection.

"The Smart Fuels application is an excellent example of how Nansulate industrial coatings provide multiple solutions for these types of facilities," stated Francesca Crolley, V.P. Business Development for Industrial Nanotech, Inc. "Smart Fuels chose Nansulate Translucent PT coating to insulate and protect new fuel storage tanks being installed at their facility in Fruitland Park, Florida. Nansulate High Heat was also applied to facility steam lines to reduce heat loss and corrosion. They chose our unique, patented technology for its ease of installation and ability to insulate more effectively and over a longer period of time than other types of insulation. Typical energy savings reported by our clients in industrial applications is between 10%-25%. The Biofuel industry is continuing to grow as the world continues to look for alternatives to petroleum based fuels and our coatings fit perfectly with their focus on green and sustainable solutions."

Smart Fuels, LLC is a leading alternative energy company headquartered in Boston, that refines bio-diesel and related co-products from a variety of feedstocks, such as animal-derived fats and vegetable-based oils. Smart Fuels LLC is a voting member of the National Biodiesel Board.

Michigan BioDiesel LLC was formed with the combination of fifty-seven farmers and eight biodiesel distributors and other related business including technology provider, Jatro Diesel, to produce and market B100 through distributors. Michigan BioDiesel LLC markets biodiesel to many industries including on-highway fleets, maritime, military, home heating and agriculture industries.
