SarTec is currently in the process with Ever Cat Fuels LLC of building a three-million- gallon-per-year demonstration plant incorporating the McGyan biodiesel production process. Although Krohn is very busy with his college classes he heads out to SarTec fairly regularly to keep himself involved in that venture. At Augsburg in addition to his chemistry major he is also completing minors in math and biology. He is also president of the chemistry society and is the founding editor of the Augsburg Honors Review. He recently learned he will graduate summa cum laude which is the highest honor a student can earn. Krohn has also continued researching and traveled to Austria last year through Syracuse University where he worked on pharmaceutical engineering research during the summer.
