1 Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology
Merri Van De Velde edited this page 1 week ago


Blue Northern Energy is renewing the biodiesel market. BNE's objective is to produce a sustainable and successful biofuel production market throughout the United States. BNE combines the most recent technology advances, refining procedures and ingenious minds to develop sustainable and lucrative biodiesel production centers. BNE provides guidance and services to companies and neighborhoods in their undertakings to establish new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and successful. Through its work and knowledge BNE, distinguishes itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has obtained a special technology for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a continuous biodiesel production procedure by the trans-esterification of vegetable oils. Multiple feedstocks may be used, permitting the most affordable cost feedstocks to be utilized. The ability to customize the process continuously, as the feedstocks alter by modulating the other reactants to the process instead of altering batch dishes, makes it an extremely flexible and more efficient procedure. The procedure likewise permits a decrease in capital cost of approximately 40% and a decrease in running expense through lower energy expense of as much as 30%. These benefits of the innovation have been verified through a 3rd celebration evaluation completed by the Center for Process Innovation.

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

Developing and improving the innovation is a high top priority for BNE, and basic to our international growth plans. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a new Innovation Center located beside the first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the capability to show 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 facility from conceptualization, advancement, building and construction to management. This center exhibits the innovative of BNE and production procedure that utilized 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 specialist will be employed to perform mass and energy balance computations and develop the chemical process for advanced feedstocks.
