RetroFit References

Based on our many years’ experience in BioDiesel plant construction, BDI is able to identify improvement possibilities in any existing plant and to draw up and implement appropriate solutions. Ever since the introduction of the RetroFit programme, BDI has proved this competence in numerous fully implemented projects, making plants with highly different underlying technologies all over the world fit for the future.
