Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology

Blue Northern Energy is rejuvenating the biodiesel industry. BNE’s mission is to produce a sustainable and rewarding biofuel production market throughout the United States. BNE integrates the current technology advances, refining procedures and innovative minds to develop sustainable and lucrative biodiesel production facilities. BNE supplies assistance and services to companies and communities in their ventures to establish new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and rewarding. Through its work and competence BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually acquired a special technology for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a continuous biodiesel production process by the trans-esterification of vegetable oils. Multiple feedstocks might be used, permitting the lowest expense feedstocks to be used. The ability to customize the procedure continuously, as the feedstocks change by regulating the other reactants to the process instead of changing batch recipes, makes it a highly flexible and more efficient procedure. The process likewise allows a reduction in capital expense of as much as 40% and a decrease in running expense through lower energy expense of as much as 30%. These advantages of the technology have been verified through a 3rd party evaluation completed by the Center for Process Innovation.

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

Developing and enhancing the innovation is a high concern for BNE, and fundamental to our international expansion strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a new Innovation Center located next to the very first biodiesel plant in Newton, . The center will have the capability to show future feedstock processing and perform comprehensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and speculative samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail facility from conceptualization, development, building and construction to management. This center exhibits the advanced technology of BNE and production procedure that made use of several crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and profitable biodiesel production.

BNE’s staff will increase to support this technology program. A senior chemical process professional will be brought on board to carry out mass and energy balance calculations and design the chemical process for sophisticated feedstocks.
