Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology
Ellie Spradlin edited this page 2 weeks ago


Blue Northern Energy is rejuvenating the biodiesel market. BNE's mission is to produce a sustainable and successful biofuel production market throughout the United States. BNE combines the most current technology advances, refining procedures and ingenious minds to establish sustainable and rewarding biodiesel production facilities. BNE provides assistance and solutions to businesses and communities in their undertakings to develop brand-new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing facilities to make them sustainable and successful. Through its work and competence BNE, differentiates itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has gotten an unique 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 might be utilized, permitting the most affordable expense feedstocks to be used. The ability to modify the process continuously, as the feedstocks alter by modulating the other reactants to the procedure rather than changing batch recipes, makes it an extremely versatile and more effective procedure. The procedure likewise permits a decrease in capital cost of up to 40% and a reduction in operating expense through lower energy expense of up to 30%. These advantages of the technology have actually been confirmed through a 3rd party assessment completed by the Center for Process Innovation.

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

Developing and the technology is a high concern for BNE, and essential to our international expansion plans. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a brand-new Innovation Center located next to the very first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the capability to demonstrate future feedstock processing and carry out comprehensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and speculative samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail facility from conceptualization, development, building and construction to management. This center exemplifies the advanced technology of BNE and production process that used several crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and successful biodiesel production.

BNE's staff will increase to support this innovation program. A senior chemical process specialist will be brought on board to carry out mass and energy balance calculations and create the chemical process for advanced feedstocks.
