Why nu-industries

Nu-Industries designs, licenses and builds high-technology, extraordinarily efficient closed loop solutions for renewable energy production. Nu-Industries currently owns and operates a 15 million gallon biodiesel production facility in East Tennessee, and is under contract to build what promises to be the largest capacity biodiesel facility in the world. This is possible through the marketing partnership formed among Nu-Industries, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and VFTechnical Services.


With exclusive rights to market third-generation technology developed at ORNL, chemical reaction and separation are all self-contained in a single piece of equipment that is a mere 30% of the size of second generation facilities.

Furthermore, our design engineers, operations experts and technical staff can offer turnkey solutions for continuous process biodiesel reactors that enable permitting in as few as 90 days for a totally contained system.

 

The Company We Keep
One of the hallmarks of Nu-Industries’ commitment to excellence and innovation is evidenced in the strategic partnerships forged with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, VFTechnical Services, and Siemens.

  • Oak Ridge National Laboratory – The Department of Energy’s largest science and energy laboratory, and one of the world’s leaders for research and development on energy production, distribution and technology development.
  • VFTechnical Services – A process automation and field services company, VFTechnical Services developed the process automation for Siemens PCS7 DCS design, Profibus DP and PA network design, and other key elements of the project.
  • Siemens – This 161-year-old international company has a name synonymous with technological innovation, and is a leader in the science and technology of green energy.

 

Funding
Nu-Industries LLC is a division of Nu-Energie LLC. As a high tech development, manufacturing design/build and licensing organization, Nu-Industries’ funding comes primarily from the client manufacturers with whom we work. However in the energy technology development arena, through our parent company Nu-Energie, several state and federal grants have been awarded for establishing our work, including:

  • $750,000 grant from the State of Tennessee for the establishment of a railroad
  • $1.5 million grant from the USDA for the development of renewable fuel infrastructure
  • Part of the $125 million U.S. Department of Energy Bioenergy Science Center Grant led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).

 

Honesty and ethics are crucial to us as is concern for our environment and creating more sustainable business practices.
