Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology
Shelli Major edited this page 1 day ago


Blue Northern Energy is rejuvenating the biodiesel market. BNE's objective is to create a sustainable and rewarding biofuel production market throughout the United States. BNE integrates the current innovation advances, refining processes and innovative minds to establish sustainable and profitable biodiesel production centers. BNE provides guidance and solutions to companies and communities in their endeavors to develop brand-new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing facilities to make them sustainable and profitable. Through its work and expertise BNE, differentiates itself as the leader in the renewable energy field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has obtained a special innovation for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a constant biodiesel production procedure by the trans-esterification of vegetable oils. Multiple feedstocks may be used, allowing the most affordable cost feedstocks to be utilized. The capability to modify the process constantly, as the feedstocks alter by regulating the other reactants to the process instead of changing batch dishes, makes it an extremely flexible and more effective process. The procedure likewise permits a decrease in capital cost of as much as 40% and a reduction in operating expense through lower energy cost of as much as 30%. These advantages of the innovation have been validated through a 3rd party assessment finished 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 as well as blends.

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

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail facility from concept, advancement, building and construction to management. This facility exhibits the revolutionary technology of BNE and production procedure that used 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 specialist will be on board to carry out mass and energy balance calculations and develop the chemical process for innovative feedstocks.
