Blue Northern Energy is revitalizing the biodiesel industry. BNE's objective is to produce a sustainable and lucrative biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE combines the latest innovation advances, refining procedures and innovative minds to establish sustainable and successful biodiesel production facilities. BNE provides and options to services and communities in their ventures to develop brand-new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and rewarding. Through its work and knowledge BNE, differentiates itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually obtained a distinct innovation for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a constant biodiesel production procedure by the trans-esterification of veggie oils. Multiple feedstocks may be used, allowing the lowest expense feedstocks to be used. The capability to modify the procedure constantly, as the feedstocks change by regulating the other reactants to the process instead of altering batch recipes, makes it a highly versatile and more effective procedure. The process likewise allows a reduction in capital cost of as much as 40% and a decrease in running cost through lower energy cost of as much as 30%. These advantages of the technology have been verified through a 3rd celebration assessment finished by the Center for Process Innovation.

The QSB innovation has actually been thoroughly tested at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe in addition to the USA have actually been shown, both individually along with blends.

Developing and enhancing the technology is a high priority for BNE, and essential to our international growth strategies. 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 ability to demonstrate 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 facility from conceptualization, development, building to management. This center exemplifies the advanced innovation of BNE and production process that made use of several crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and rewarding 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 estimations and develop the chemical procedure for innovative feedstocks.
