1 Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology
Dusty Daye edited this page 2 days ago


Blue Northern Energy is rejuvenating the biodiesel market. BNE's mission is to develop a sustainable and profitable biofuel production market throughout the United States. BNE combines the latest innovation advances, refining processes and innovative minds to develop sustainable and successful biodiesel production facilities. BNE offers assistance and options to businesses and communities in their ventures to develop new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing facilities to make them sustainable and successful. Through its work and competence BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the sustainable energy field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually obtained a distinct innovation for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a constant biodiesel production procedure by the trans-esterification of vegetable oils. Multiple feedstocks might be utilized, permitting the lowest expense feedstocks to be used. The capability to customize the process continually, as the feedstocks change by regulating the other reactants to the process rather than altering batch recipes, makes it a highly versatile and more efficient procedure. The process likewise allows a reduction in capital cost of up to 40% and a decrease in running cost 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 innovation has been thoroughly evaluated at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe along with the USA have actually been shown, both individually along with blends.

Developing and enhancing the technology is a high top priority for BNE, and essential to our international expansion plans. In order to support this, BNE will be a brand-new Innovation Center located next to the first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the ability to demonstrate future feedstock processing and perform extensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and experimental samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail facility from concept, advancement, building to management. This center exemplifies the innovative innovation of BNE and production procedure that made use of multiple 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 procedure professional will be brought on board to perform mass and energy balance calculations and design the chemical process for innovative feedstocks.
