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 current technology advances, refining processes and ingenious minds to establish sustainable and successful biodiesel production facilities. BNE offers assistance and solutions to services and neighborhoods in their endeavors to establish brand-new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and rewarding. Through its work and competence BNE, distinguishes itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has gotten a distinct 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 may be utilized, enabling the most affordable cost feedstocks to be used. The ability to modify the procedure constantly, as the feedstocks change by regulating the other reactants to the process rather than altering batch recipes, makes it an extremely flexible and more effective process. The process also permits a reduction in capital cost of up to 40% and a decrease in running cost through lower energy expense of up to 30%. These advantages of the innovation have been validated through a 3rd party evaluation completed by the Center for Process Innovation.

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

Developing and enhancing the innovation is a high top priority for BNE, and fundamental to our worldwide growth strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be establishing a new Innovation Center beside the first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the capability to demonstrate future feedstock processing and carry out comprehensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and experimental samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail facility from concept, development, building to management. This facility exhibits the advanced innovation of BNE and production process that used several crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and lucrative biodiesel production.

BNE’s staff will increase to support this technology program. A senior chemical procedure expert will be employed to carry out mass and energy balance computations and develop the chemical process for sophisticated feedstocks.
