1 Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology
Grazyna Everhart edited this page 4 months ago


Blue Northern Energy is renewing the biodiesel industry. BNE's mission is to create a sustainable and successful biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE integrates 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 neighborhoods in their endeavors to establish new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing facilities to make them sustainable and profitable. Through its work and know-how BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has acquired an unique technology for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel (QSB) is a constant biodiesel production procedure by the trans-esterification of veggie oils. Multiple feedstocks might be utilized, enabling the most affordable expense feedstocks to be used. The capability to modify the process continually, as the feedstocks change by regulating the other reactants to the procedure instead of altering batch recipes, makes it an extremely versatile and more effective process. The process also permits a decrease in capital cost of up to 40% and a reduction in operating cost through lower energy expense of up to 30%. These benefits of the innovation have been validated through a 3rd party assessment completed by the Center for Process Innovation.

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

Developing and improving the innovation is a high priority for BNE, and essential to our international growth strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be establishing a new Innovation Center situated next to the first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the ability to demonstrate future feedstock processing and carry out comprehensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and experimental samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail center from conceptualization, development, construction to management. This facility exemplifies the revolutionary innovation of BNE and production process that utilized numerous crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and successful biodiesel production.

BNE's staff will increase to support this technology program. A senior chemical process professional will be brought on board to perform mass and energy balance computations and develop the chemical process for sophisticated feedstocks.
