Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology

Blue Northern Energy is revitalizing the biodiesel industry. BNE’s mission is to develop a sustainable and rewarding biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE combines the most recent technology advances, refining procedures and innovative minds to develop sustainable and profitable biodiesel production centers. BNE offers assistance and solutions to companies and communities in their ventures to establish new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and successful. Through its work and competence BNE, differentiates itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually gotten a special innovation for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a continuous biodiesel production process by the trans-esterification of veggie oils. Multiple feedstocks might be used, permitting the most affordable cost feedstocks to be used. The ability to customize the process constantly, as the feedstocks change by regulating the other reactants to the procedure rather than changing batch recipes, makes it an extremely flexible and more efficient procedure. The process likewise permits a reduction in capital expense of as much as 40% and a reduction in running expense through lower energy expense of up to 30%. These advantages of the innovation have been validated through a 3rd party evaluation completed by the Center for Process Innovation.

The QSB technology has actually been extensively checked at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe in addition to the USA have been shown, both separately in addition to blends.

Developing and enhancing the technology is a high top for BNE, and essential to our global expansion strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be establishing a new Innovation Center situated beside the very first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the ability to show future feedstock processing and perform comprehensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and experimental samples.

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

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