1 Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology
George Barragan edited this page 3 months ago


Blue Northern Energy is rejuvenating the biodiesel industry. BNE's mission is to create a sustainable and profitable biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE combines the current innovation advances, refining procedures and innovative minds to develop sustainable and profitable biodiesel production centers. BNE offers assistance and options to organizations and neighborhoods in their undertakings to establish brand-new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and profitable. Through its work and proficiency BNE, distinguishes itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually gotten a special technology for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a constant biodiesel production procedure by the trans-esterification of veggie oils. Multiple feedstocks might be used, permitting the most affordable cost feedstocks to be utilized. The ability to modify the procedure continuously, as the feedstocks alter by modulating the other reactants to the procedure instead of altering batch dishes, makes it a highly flexible and more efficient procedure. The process also allows a decrease in capital cost of as much as 40% and a decrease in running cost through lower energy expense of approximately 30%. These benefits of the technology have actually been confirmed through a 3rd party assessment completed by the Center for Process Innovation.

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

Developing and improving the technology is a high top priority for BNE, and basic to our international growth strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a new Innovation Center situated next to the 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 speculative samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail center from conceptualization, advancement, and construction to management. This facility exhibits the advanced technology 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 process expert will be employed to perform mass and energy balance calculations and develop the chemical procedure for advanced feedstocks.
