CLARKS, Neb., July 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Strobel Energy
Group announced today that it has executed an Engineering,
Procurement and Construction (EPC) agreement with Prairie
Catalytic, LLC, a subsidiary of Greenyug, LLC, to design and
construct its commercial scale Bio-Ethanol to Ethyl Acetate
facility in Nebraska. Ethyl
Acetate is a specialty solvent used extensively in products such as
paints, coatings, pharmaceuticals, adhesives and a variety of
consumer goods.
The Prairie Catalytic production facility will be located
adjacent to the Archer Daniels Midland Company's (NYSE: ADM) Corn
Processing Plant in Columbus,
Nebraska which will supply the project with Bio-Ethanol
feedstock and other services. Strobel has initiated the detailed
engineering design and will begin construction of the facility in
Q3 2017 with commissioning and production expected within
approximately one year. HELM AG, (www.helmag.com) based in
Hamburg, Germany and Piscataway, NJ, is one of the world's
largest chemical marketing companies, has executed an off-take
agreement for 100% of the Ethyl Acetate produced at the Prairie
Catalytic facility.
According to Steve Strobel, CEO
of Strobel Energy Group: "This project allows us to execute on all
of our core competencies. From detailed engineering, to fabrication
and procurement of structural and mechanical components
incorporating our customers process technology, utilization of our
R, S & U stamp certifications, QA/QC process, EH&S program
and our ability to self-perform civil and mechanical portions of
the scope while putting Nebraskans to work right in our
backyard. We are excited about this challenge and look
forward to executing on time and within budget."

states: "We look forward to working with Strobel Energy Group, a
company whose entrepreneurial ethos and 'can do' attitude matches
ours. Strobel's strong presence in the local community and

and continued the scale-up at its fully integrated demonstration
plant. Greenyug has developed a proprietary platform to add value
to ethanol by upgrading it into a variety of bio-based chemicals
with broad market appeal. Greenyug Ethyl Acetate will be the first
