Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology

Blue Northern Energy is revitalizing the biodiesel industry. BNE’s mission is to develop a sustainable and successful biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE integrates the most recent technology advances, refining procedures and innovative minds to develop sustainable and lucrative biodiesel production centers. BNE provides assistance and services to businesses and communities in their ventures to establish new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing facilities to make them sustainable and profitable. Through its work and know-how BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the sustainable energy field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually acquired a distinct technology for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a constant biodiesel production process by the trans-esterification of vegetable oils. Multiple feedstocks might be used, enabling the lowest expense feedstocks to be used. The ability to modify the process constantly, as the feedstocks change by regulating the other reactants to the procedure rather than altering batch recipes, makes it an extremely versatile and more efficient procedure. The process also enables a decrease in capital cost of up to 40% and a decrease in running cost through lower energy expense of as much as 30%. These advantages of the innovation have been verified through a 3rd party evaluation completed by the Center for Process Innovation.

The QSB technology has been thoroughly evaluated at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe along with the USA have actually been shown, both individually in addition to blends.

Developing and enhancing the technology is a high concern for BNE, and essential to our international expansion plans. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a brand-new Innovation Center situated beside the first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the capability to show future feedstock processing and carry out substantial fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and experimental samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail center from concept, advancement, to management. This center exemplifies the revolutionary innovation of BNE and production process that made use of numerous crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and rewarding biodiesel production.

BNE’s personnel will increase to support this technology program. A senior chemical process specialist will be employed to perform mass and energy balance computations and create the chemical process for sophisticated feedstocks.
