OPW Fluid Transfer Group Lends
Support, Industry Knowledge to Ethanol And Biofuel Markets
Riverside,
MO With roots in the petroleum industry
dating back to 1892, OPW Fluid Transfer Group, a part
of Dover Corporation, has been a leader in developing
products for use in the safe handling of many types of
hazardous fuels. Today, OPW Fluid Transfer Group is pleased
to announce it has formed a team to focus on the biofuels
industry. With a combined 30-plus years of experience
in working with ethanol, the newly formed group at OPW
Fluid Transfer Group believes that biofuels —ethanol,
biodiesel, etc. — are key components in the current and
future motor fueling industry.
Due to the safety concerns in handling all types of
biofuels and the aggressive nature of ethanol in particular,
OPW Fluid Transfer Group is currently conducting tests
of several types of fluid-handling products for compatibility
with various metals and seals. The company manufactures
products that are used in the production process, transportation,
terminalling and loading/unloading of biofuels. OPW Fluid
Transfer Group has committed many resources to help the
biofuels industry meet their needs of safe and long-lasting
products.
"OPW Fluid Transfer Group is a member of the Renewable
Fuels Association (RFA) and the American Coalition for
Ethanol (ACE). Our membership in these leading industry
organizations allows us to share new product information
and application knowledge with the biofuels market," said
Gary Schriever, newly appointed Market Manager for Biofuels.
The company will also be exhibiting at the upcoming Eastern
Region and Western Region BBI Biofuels Workshops and
tradeshows.
OPW Fluid Transfer Group is currently in the process
of developing an integrated suite of biofuel-compatible
products, using all six divisions of OPW Fluid Transfer
Group's products. The Group is comprised of OPW Engineered
Systems, Midland Manufacturing, Civacon, Knappco, Sure
