Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology
Blue Northern Energy is rejuvenating the biodiesel industry. BNE's mission is to develop a sustainable and rewarding biofuel production market throughout the United States. BNE integrates the most current technology advances, refining procedures and ingenious minds to establish sustainable and lucrative biodiesel production facilities. BNE supplies guidance and services to services and neighborhoods in their endeavors to establish new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing facilities to make them sustainable and successful. Through its work and knowledge BNE, differentiates itself as the leader in the sustainable energy field.
Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has acquired a distinct technology for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a constant biodiesel production process by the trans-esterification of vegetable oils. Multiple feedstocks might be utilized, allowing the most affordable cost feedstocks to be utilized. The ability to modify the process continually, as the feedstocks change by regulating the other reactants to the process rather than changing batch recipes, makes it an extremely flexible and more effective procedure. The process also permits a decrease in capital expense of approximately 40% and a decrease in running cost through lower energy cost of up to 30%. These advantages of the technology have actually been validated through a 3rd celebration evaluation finished by the Center for Process Innovation.
The QSB innovation has actually been thoroughly checked at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe in addition to the USA have actually been demonstrated, both separately as well as blends.
Developing and improving the technology is a high top priority for BNE, and fundamental to our international expansion strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a new Innovation Center situated next to the first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the ability to demonstrate future feedstock processing and perform extensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and samples.
It is the administrator of the BN National Trail facility from concept, development, construction to management. This facility exemplifies the revolutionary innovation of BNE and production process that made use of multiple crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and profitable biodiesel production.
BNE's personnel will increase to support this innovation program. A senior chemical process professional will be brought on board to perform mass and energy balance calculations and develop the chemical process for sophisticated feedstocks.
