L&T dispatches critical reactors to US for renewable diesel project ahead of schedule

Larsen & Toubro (L&T) on Monday said that its heavy engineering arm has flagged off five critical renewable diesel reactors to North America’s largest renewable diesel producer Diamond Green Diesel (DGD), two weeks ahead of the contractual delivery date. DGD is a joint venture of Darling Ingredients Inc and Valero Energy Corporation in Texas, USA.

The engineering and construction conglomerate is executing additional three such green diesel projects for the US and European clients at L&T’s fully integrated, digitally-enabled heavy engineering complex located at Hazira in Gujarat, the company said in a statement.

The reactors manufactured by L&T will process biomass (recycled animal fats, used cooking oil and inedible corn oil) to make green diesel.
