S.I. Goldman Company Inc.,
Comfort Systems USA, announced its completion of mechanical and plumbing work
for a biomass ethanol test facility at the University of Florida’s Institute of

chemical and biological processes that turn cellulosic biomass (inedible residues
of plants) into ethanol for automotive fuel. S.I. Goldman was contracted by the

held in October.
