The facility will serve as the centerpiece of Mainstream's strategy to become the highest quality, lowest cost producer of crude tall oil derivatives in North America.
Mainstream Pine Products, LLC, recently announced plans for an estimated $90 million crude tall oil (CTO) biorefinery at the Charleston International Manufacturing Center (CIMC) in Berkeley County, S.C. The company reports that the biorefinery will be an advanced recycling facility with capacity to process 110,000 tons of CTO for use in a wide range of industrial applications.
This facility will serve as the centerpiece of Mainstream’s strategy to become the highest quality, lowest cost producer of CTO derivatives in North America. The company anticipates breaking ground and starting construction later this year with operations commencing in 2023.
