Aventine Renewable Energy Holdings, Inc. Delays Start-Up of Canton, Illinois Ethanol Facility
12 Settembre 2011 - 10:41PM
Aventine Renewable Energy Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:AVRW), announced it
is delaying the start-up of its ethanol plant located in Canton,
Illinois until early next year.
The Company noted the delay is due to uncertainty surrounding
its ability to secure critical third-party technical and
engineering support in the time frame needed to re-commission the
plant as well as its ability to fully complete the remaining
scheduled work prior to the arrival of winter weather. The Company
previously anticipated starting up the facility mid-October this
year.
"This plant relies on an integrated boiler system and co-gen
unit to supply the necessary energy for the plant. To ensure a
higher degree of success in the start-up of this facility the
Company needs the support of the third party who designed this
system. Their support will not be available in the time frame
needed to get the plant going prior to the potential for winter
weather to set in. Given these uncertainties, we believe this
is the most prudent course of action," said John Castle, Interim
Chief Executive Officer. "We have taken steps to secure critical
third party support for the new schedule and fully anticipate
starting up this plant early next year after the winter
subsides."
