Blue Northern Energy is revitalizing the biodiesel industry. BNE's objective is to create a sustainable and profitable biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE combines the newest innovation advances, refining procedures and innovative minds to establish and lucrative biodiesel production centers. BNE supplies guidance and options to organizations and communities in their undertakings to establish brand-new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and successful. Through its work and competence BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the eco-friendly energy field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually gotten a special technology 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 utilized, enabling the least expensive expense feedstocks to be utilized. The capability to modify the procedure continuously, as the feedstocks change by modulating the other reactants to the process instead of altering batch dishes, makes it a highly flexible and more efficient process. The process likewise permits a reduction in capital expense of approximately 40% and a decrease in running cost through lower energy cost of approximately 30%. These benefits of the technology have been verified through a 3rd celebration assessment finished by the Center for Process Innovation.

The QSB technology has actually been thoroughly evaluated at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe as well as the USA have been demonstrated, both separately as well as blends.

Developing and improving the innovation is a high concern for BNE, and basic to our worldwide growth plans. In order to support this, BNE will be establishing a brand-new Innovation Center located beside the first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the capability to show future feedstock processing and carry out substantial fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and experimental samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail center from concept, advancement, building to management. This facility exhibits the advanced technology of BNE and production process that made use of numerous crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and profitable 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 innovative feedstocks.
