BlueFire Ethanol Fuels Inc. hired Brinderson to engineer and construct a biorefinery in Lancaster. The 3.1 million gallon facility will produce cellulosic ethanol from green waste materials. Irvine-based BlueFire is one of six firms receiving money from the U.S. Department of Energy to build ethanol production facilities. The Lancaster facility will be the first commercial scale roll-out of BlueFire’s proprietary concentrated acid hydrolysis process.
