Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology

Blue Northern Energy is rejuvenating the biodiesel industry. BNE’s objective is to develop a sustainable and successful biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE combines the most recent technology advances, refining processes and ingenious minds to establish sustainable and profitable biodiesel production facilities. BNE provides guidance and solutions to businesses and communities in their endeavors to establish brand-new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing facilities to make them sustainable and . Through its work and knowledge BNE, differentiates itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually gotten a distinct technology for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a constant biodiesel production process by the trans-esterification of veggie oils. Multiple feedstocks might be used, permitting the least expensive cost feedstocks to be used. The ability to customize the process continuously, as the feedstocks alter by regulating the other reactants to the process rather than altering batch dishes, makes it a highly flexible and more efficient process. The procedure also enables a decrease in capital cost of as much as 40% and a reduction in operating expense through lower energy cost of approximately 30%. These advantages of the technology have actually been validated through a 3rd party assessment completed by the Center for Process Innovation.

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

Developing and enhancing the innovation is a high priority for BNE, and basic to our worldwide growth plans. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a brand-new Innovation Center located next to the very first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the ability to show future feedstock processing and carry out extensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and experimental samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail facility from concept, development, building to management. This center exhibits the revolutionary innovation of BNE and production procedure that utilized numerous crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and profitable biodiesel production.

BNE’s personnel will increase to support this innovation program. A senior chemical process specialist will be brought on board to perform mass and energy balance calculations and develop the chemical process for innovative feedstocks.
