TDI Projects Inc.
Integrated Ethanol Cattle Feeding Concept
TDI Projects Inc. is the one and only company in western Canada who has had direct experience in developing the fuel ethanol project concept and then carrying this concept through detailed design, equipment purchasing and construction. The feedlot fuel ethanol concept was brought to Saskatchewan by TDI Projects Inc. The vital wheat gluten fuel ethanol integration was brought to API Grain Processors in Alberta by TDI. The Fibretein (dietary wheat fibre) product of Mohawk in Minnedosa was brought to Mohawk by TDI. The Canamino Oat Extraction concept was brought to Saskatoon by TDI Projects Inc.
TDI Projects Inc. has implemented new agricultural technologies and applied these new approaches to the ethanol business in North America. Each of these plants is one-of-a -kind. TDI is the only company who knows from experience with all of these projects, the background in conceptual feasibility work, the depth of effort required for financing a project and then the proper deployment of engineering and technology partners necessary to provide a sustainable business to the owners of ethanol projects.
Value Chain Agriculture
TDI Projects Inc. is a strong believer in the important concept of the value-chain for both cattle, cereal crops and for fuel ethanol. Both the grain and cattle markets have been changing dramatically in the last decade and there is a need to re-invent how our producers adapt to the new and emerging market for their agricultural products. TDI believes the opportunity for everybody in the current business is in the value-chain of that particular commodity.
Fuel Ethanol And Agricultural Market Review
TDI has totally current information on the fuel ethanol industry in North America. TDI’s consistent focus on the fuel ethanol industry required our constant understanding of the markets for gasoline and ethanol as fuel in provincial, Canadian, State and USA settings.
TDI principals have over 30 years of extensive experience involvement in the refining and gasoline marketing of major oil companies. TDI had a long-term professional relationship with senior executives of Mohawk Oil and TDI was instrumental in creating the Pound-Maker fuel ethanol marketing alliance with Mohawk as a key component in PoundMaker obtaining project financing.
Plant Location
TDI Projects has worked in the fuel ethanol industry in western Canada for the last 18 years. Most of this time our efforts have been in Saskatchewan or have closely revolved around the concept of Saskatchewan starch resources as a key source for Canadian fuel ethanol industry development.
Regulatory And Political Issues
In the 18 years that TDI has worked in the fuel ethanol industry in western Canada, pioneering for the fuel ethanol Industry has been a continuing activity of our company. TDI Projects has a thorough understanding of the regulatory aspects of fuel ethanol, grains and cattle industry in Canada.
Financial Modelling
TDI’s model is driven by the detailed plant process heat and material balance. It is fully functional to instantly provide financial revisions based on 5-Year forward-looking financial
Project Financing
It is TDI Projects who has actually gone through the impossible-to-plan, complex, highly political and lengthy financing process and it is TDI who has proven that it can understand and provide a realistic picture of the challenge ahead. TDI Projects has done this on the only two fuel ethanol projects ever financed and built in western Canada. TDI played an integral role for the new businesses in each of these financing phases. The fact that there are no other fuel ethanol projects constructed in western Canada illustrates the immense challenge that financing becomes and it underlines the success enjoyed by TDI in this field.
