Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology

Blue Northern Energy is revitalizing the biodiesel industry. BNE’s mission is to produce a sustainable and rewarding biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE combines the current technology advances, refining procedures and innovative minds to develop sustainable and profitable biodiesel production centers. BNE provides assistance and solutions to companies and communities in their undertakings to develop brand-new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing facilities to make them sustainable and successful. Through its work and competence BNE, distinguishes itself as the leader in the sustainable energy field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually obtained a special innovation for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a continuous biodiesel production process by the trans-esterification of vegetable oils. Multiple feedstocks may be utilized, enabling the most affordable cost feedstocks to be utilized. The ability to customize the procedure constantly, as the feedstocks change by regulating the other reactants to the process rather than changing batch recipes, makes it a highly versatile and more efficient process. The process also enables a decrease in capital expense of approximately 40% and a reduction in running cost through lower energy cost of as much as 30%. These benefits of the innovation have actually been verified through a 3rd party evaluation completed by the Center for Process Innovation.

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

Developing and improving the innovation is a high concern for BNE, and fundamental to our plans. In order to support this, BNE will be establishing a new Innovation Center situated beside the first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the capability to show 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 concept, advancement, building to management. This facility exhibits the revolutionary technology of BNE and production process that used several 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 procedure specialist will be brought on board to perform mass and energy balance computations and develop the chemical process for advanced feedstocks.
