Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology

Blue Northern Energy is revitalizing the biodiesel market. BNE’s objective is to develop a sustainable and profitable biofuel production market throughout the United States. BNE combines the current innovation advances, refining processes and innovative minds to establish sustainable and successful biodiesel production centers. BNE supplies guidance and solutions to services and neighborhoods in their endeavors to establish new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and lucrative. Through its work and knowledge BNE, distinguishes itself as the leader in the sustainable energy field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually gotten an unique technology for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a continuous biodiesel production process by the trans-esterification of veggie oils. Multiple feedstocks might be utilized, allowing the most affordable cost feedstocks to be used. The ability to customize the procedure continuously, as the feedstocks alter by modulating the other reactants to the procedure instead of altering batch dishes, makes it an extremely flexible and more effective procedure. The procedure also permits a decrease in capital cost of as much as 40% and a decrease in running cost through lower energy expense of as much as 30%. These benefits of the innovation have actually been confirmed 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 shown, both separately in addition to blends.

Developing and improving the technology is a high top priority for BNE, and essential to our worldwide expansion strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a Center located beside the very first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the capability 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 facility from conceptualization, advancement, building to management. This center exhibits the advanced technology of BNE and production process that made use of numerous crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and rewarding biodiesel production.

BNE’s personnel will increase to support this technology program. A senior chemical process expert will be brought on board to carry out mass and energy balance calculations and develop the chemical process for innovative feedstocks.
