Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology

Blue Northern Energy is rejuvenating the biodiesel market. BNE’s mission is to a sustainable and profitable biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE combines the most recent innovation advances, refining procedures and ingenious minds to establish sustainable and successful biodiesel production centers. BNE supplies assistance and services to organizations and communities in their ventures to establish new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing facilities 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 acquired an unique technology for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a continuous biodiesel production process by the trans-esterification of vegetable oils. Multiple feedstocks might be utilized, permitting the most affordable expense feedstocks to be used. The ability to customize the process continually, as the feedstocks change by modulating the other reactants to the process instead of changing batch recipes, makes it an extremely flexible and more efficient procedure. The process also permits a reduction in capital expense of approximately 40% and a reduction in operating expense through lower energy cost of as much as 30%. These benefits of the innovation have actually been verified through a 3rd celebration assessment completed by the Center for Process Innovation.

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

Developing and improving the technology is a high top priority for BNE, and essential to our worldwide growth strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be establishing a brand-new Innovation Center located next to the very first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the capability to demonstrate future feedstock processing and perform extensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and speculative samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail center from conceptualization, development, construction to management. This center exemplifies the innovative technology of BNE and production process that used multiple crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and rewarding biodiesel production.

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