Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology

Blue Northern Energy is renewing the biodiesel market. BNE’s objective is to create a sustainable and rewarding biofuel production market throughout the United States. BNE combines the latest innovation advances, refining processes and innovative minds to develop sustainable and profitable biodiesel production facilities. BNE offers guidance and services to companies and neighborhoods in their endeavors to establish new biodiesel production centers or centers to make them sustainable and profitable. Through its work and expertise BNE, distinguishes 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 process by the trans-esterification of veggie oils. Multiple feedstocks might be used, enabling the most affordable cost feedstocks to be used. The ability to modify the procedure continuously, as the feedstocks change by modulating the other reactants to the process rather than changing batch recipes, makes it an extremely versatile and more effective procedure. The process also enables a reduction in capital expense of approximately 40% and a decrease in running cost through lower energy expense of as much as 30%. These advantages of the innovation have actually been validated through a 3rd celebration evaluation finished by the Center for Process Innovation.

The QSB innovation has been extensively checked at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe along with the USA have been shown, both individually as well as blends.

Developing and enhancing the technology is a high priority for BNE, and fundamental to our worldwide expansion strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be establishing a new Innovation Center located beside the very 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 experimental samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail center from concept, development, building to management. This facility exemplifies the advanced innovation of BNE and production process that made use of 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 professional will be brought on board to carry out mass and energy balance calculations and design the chemical process for sophisticated feedstocks.
