1 Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology

Otis Harmon edited this page 1 week ago

Blue Northern Energy is rejuvenating the biodiesel industry. BNE's mission is to develop a sustainable and profitable biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE combines the current innovation advances, refining procedures and innovative minds to develop sustainable and lucrative biodiesel production centers. BNE supplies assistance and solutions to services and communities in their endeavors to establish brand-new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing facilities to make them sustainable and profitable. Through its work and competence BNE, distinguishes itself as the leader in the renewable energy field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually acquired an unique 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 may be used, allowing the most affordable expense feedstocks to be used. The capability to modify the process continually, as the feedstocks change by regulating the other reactants to the procedure instead of altering batch recipes, makes it an extremely versatile and more effective procedure. The process also enables a decrease in capital cost of approximately 40% and a reduction in running cost through lower energy cost of approximately 30%. These benefits of the innovation have been confirmed through a 3rd party evaluation finished by the Center for Process Innovation.

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

Developing and enhancing the technology is a high priority for BNE, and fundamental to our worldwide expansion strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be establishing a Center located beside the very first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the ability to show future feedstock processing and carry out extensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and speculative samples.

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

BNE's staff will increase to support this innovation program. A senior chemical procedure specialist will be brought on board to carry out mass and energy balance computations and develop the chemical process for sophisticated feedstocks.
