Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology

Blue Northern Energy is renewing the biodiesel market. BNE’s objective is to produce a sustainable and successful biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE integrates the current innovation advances, refining processes and ingenious minds to develop sustainable and successful biodiesel production centers. BNE offers assistance and solutions to companies and communities in their undertakings to develop new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and profitable. Through its work and competence BNE, distinguishes itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually obtained an unique innovation for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a continuous biodiesel production procedure by the trans-esterification of veggie oils. Multiple feedstocks may be used, enabling the most affordable expense feedstocks to be utilized. The ability to customize the process constantly, as the feedstocks change by modulating the other reactants to the procedure rather than changing batch dishes, makes it an extremely versatile and more efficient procedure. The process likewise permits a reduction in capital expense of approximately 40% and a reduction in operating cost through lower energy expense of approximately 30%. These advantages of the technology have been confirmed through a 3rd party evaluation completed by the Center for Process Innovation.

The QSB innovation has been extensively evaluated at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe along with the USA have actually been demonstrated, both individually along with blends.

Developing and enhancing the innovation is a high top priority for BNE, and essential to our worldwide growth strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be establishing a brand-new Innovation Center located beside the first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the capability to show future feedstock and carry out comprehensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and speculative samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail center from conceptualization, development, building to management. This center exhibits the advanced innovation of BNE and production process that made use of several 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 procedure expert will be employed to carry out mass and energy balance estimations and design the chemical process for sophisticated feedstocks.
