Silverado announced today that it has contracted with Pickering, Inc. of Jackson, Mississippi, to provide complete architectural and engineering plans for construction of Silverado’s lignite water fuel (LWF) demonstration facility. The facility will be located on a 14-acre site already designated in the Red Hills Ecoplex outside Ackerman, MS.
“We’re excited about this opportunity,” said Pickering principal and senior project manager Thomas R. McConnell. “It’s not every day that we design a coal-water fuel facility. When the demonstration plant is operational, we hope also to be involved when Silverado scales up to a full production facility.”
Pickering will provide detailed architectural and engineering construction plans for the building, including electrical, mechanical and structural designs for the LWF production and boiler test facility. In addition to the demonstration plant, plans will be conceived and delivered for the laboratory center and offices, storage tanks and the coal loading facility. Pickering, under previous agreement, provided Silverado the conceptual design for the LWF facility and laboratory.
“We have been working with Pickering since the conception of this project and are delighted to take this next step with them,” said Silverado Green Fuel president Garry Anselmo. “This will be the first plant in North America entirely dedicated to producing lignite water fuel as a petroleum fuel substitute, and this is the first step.”
