Agra Energy Selects KP Engineering for Dairy-Based Renewable Fuels Plant

HOUSTON (Oct. 30, 2023) – KP Engineering, a leader in the design and execution of customized EPF and EPFCm solutions for the refining, syngas, hydrogen and renewable fuel industries is pleased to announce it has been selected as the engineering, procurement, fabrication and construction management (EPFCm) partner for Agra Energy’s series of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) plants. These gas-to-liquids (GTL) units will produce sustainable aviation fuel or renewable diesel, produced entirely from effluent waste from dairy farms.

“We are honored to be a trusted partner for another project that converts waste to value, and to be working alongside a revolutionary developer like Agra,” said William E. Preston, CEO, KPE. “Their technology will fundamentally improve the operational sustainability of dairy farmers in America and abroad.”

Tony Long, CEO, Agra Energy, comments, “Working with KP Engineering has been instrumental in our operational know-how, start up and commissioning. Now that the first unit is near producing, we look forward to partnering with KPE to further optimize for the second, third and many units to come as we scale. This will offer benefits to farms and communities in building a better world.”

KPE’s scope of work consists of commissioning and startup assistance on Agra’s first plant, incorporating lessons learned into the design for succeeding units, incorporating SAF production capability into that design, updating the total installed cost estimate and executing the full EPFCm on the second plant. When completed and operational, the second plant will produce between 40 and 60 barrels per day of renewable fuel. The second plant is scheduled to begin operations in the fourth quarter of 2024.

This award comes as a result of KPE’s successful relationship with Agra and its unique engineering, procurement and modular fabrication capabilities as a wholly owned subsidiary of The Shaw Group.
