Blue Northern Energy is revitalizing the biodiesel market. BNE's objective is to create a sustainable and successful biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE combines the most recent technology advances, refining processes and innovative minds to establish sustainable and rewarding biodiesel production facilities. BNE provides guidance and solutions to companies and neighborhoods in their ventures to establish new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing facilities to make them sustainable and profitable. Through its work and proficiency BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually acquired a special technology for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a continuous biodiesel production procedure by the trans-esterification of veggie oils. Multiple feedstocks may be used, permitting the lowest expense feedstocks to be used. The ability to customize the procedure continuously, as the feedstocks alter by modulating the other reactants to the process instead of changing batch dishes, makes it an extremely versatile and more effective procedure. The process also allows a decrease in capital expense of approximately 40% and a decrease in operating expense through lower energy cost of approximately 30%. These advantages of the innovation have actually been validated through a 3rd party assessment completed by the Center for Process Innovation.

The QSB technology has actually been extensively tested at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe as well as the USA have actually been shown, both separately along with blends.

Developing and improving the technology is a high priority for BNE, and fundamental to our global expansion plans. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a new situated next to the first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the ability to demonstrate future feedstock processing and perform comprehensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and speculative samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail facility from concept, advancement, building to management. This center exemplifies the innovative technology of BNE and production procedure that utilized numerous crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and successful biodiesel production.

BNE's personnel will increase to support this technology program. A senior chemical procedure specialist will be employed to perform mass and energy balance estimations and develop the chemical procedure for advanced feedstocks.
