Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology
Blue Northern Energy is revitalizing the biodiesel industry. BNE's mission is to develop a sustainable and rewarding biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE combines the newest innovation advances, refining processes and innovative minds to develop sustainable and profitable biodiesel production facilities. BNE offers guidance and solutions to organizations and communities in their endeavors to establish brand-new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and profitable. Through its work and know-how BNE, distinguishes 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 utilized, enabling the lowest expense feedstocks to be used. The ability to modify the procedure continually, as the feedstocks alter by regulating the other reactants to the procedure rather than altering batch dishes, makes it an extremely versatile and more effective process. The procedure also allows a reduction in capital cost of as much as 40% and a decrease in operating expense through lower energy cost of up to 30%. These benefits of the technology have actually been verified through a 3rd celebration assessment completed by the Center for Process Innovation.
The QSB has actually been extensively checked at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe as well as the USA have actually been demonstrated, both individually as well as blends.
Developing and improving the technology is a high priority for BNE, and basic to our international expansion strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be establishing a brand-new Innovation Center situated beside the very 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 experimental samples.
It is the administrator of the BN National Trail center from concept, development, construction to management. This facility exhibits the innovative innovation of BNE and production procedure that made use of several crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and successful biodiesel production.
BNE's staff will increase to support this innovation program. A senior chemical process specialist will be brought on board to perform mass and energy balance calculations and develop the chemical process for sophisticated feedstocks.
