IPS began work on POET’s Leipsic, Ohio Biorefining plant in February of 2007. This was one of the three plants that IPS would perform work at over a 2 year period.

IPS self-performed all piping work and was responsible for the carbon steel, stainless steel utility, and production piping.

The state-of-the art ethanol production facility will consume 22 million bushels of locally-grown corn to produce 68 million gallons of ethanol annually. POET will provide a high performance, environmentally-friendly fuel as well as a premium, high-quality Dakota Gold brand livestock feed for regional, national and international markets.
