Blue Northern Energy is renewing the biodiesel market. BNE's objective is to develop a sustainable and profitable biofuel production market throughout the United States. BNE integrates the newest innovation advances, refining procedures and ingenious minds to sustainable and profitable biodiesel production centers. BNE provides assistance and solutions to businesses and communities in their ventures to establish brand-new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and lucrative. Through its work and proficiency BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the renewable resource 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 used, enabling the lowest expense feedstocks to be used. The ability to modify the procedure continuously, as the feedstocks alter by regulating the other reactants to the process rather than changing batch dishes, makes it an extremely flexible and more effective procedure. The procedure also allows a reduction in capital expense of up to 40% and a reduction in running cost through lower energy cost of approximately 30%. These advantages of the technology have actually been validated through a 3rd party evaluation finished by the Center for Process Innovation.

The QSB innovation has actually been extensively tested at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe in addition to the USA have actually been demonstrated, both individually in addition to blends.

Developing and improving the technology is a high priority for BNE, and basic to our worldwide growth plans. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a brand-new Innovation Center situated beside the very first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the ability to show future feedstock processing and perform substantial fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and experimental samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail facility from conceptualization, development, building and construction to management. This facility exemplifies the innovative innovation of BNE and production procedure that utilized several crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and successful biodiesel production.

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