Blue Northern Energy is rejuvenating the biodiesel market. BNE's mission is to create a sustainable and successful biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE combines the newest innovation advances, refining processes and ingenious minds to develop sustainable and lucrative biodiesel production facilities. BNE supplies assistance and options to organizations and communities in their endeavors to establish brand-new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing facilities to make them sustainable and lucrative. Through its work and expertise BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the sustainable energy field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has obtained an unique 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 might be utilized, allowing the lowest cost feedstocks to be used. The ability to customize the procedure continually, as the feedstocks alter by modulating the other reactants to the process rather than altering batch recipes, makes it a highly flexible and more efficient process. The procedure likewise permits a decrease in capital cost of up to 40% and a reduction in running cost through lower energy expense of as much as 30%. These advantages of the innovation have actually been confirmed through a 3rd party assessment finished by the Center for Process Innovation.

The QSB technology has been extensively checked at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe in addition to the USA have actually been demonstrated, both separately along with blends.

Developing and improving the innovation is a high concern for BNE, and essential to our worldwide expansion strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a brand-new Innovation Center located beside the very first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the capability to demonstrate future feedstock processing and carry out substantial fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and speculative samples.

It is the administrator of the Trail center from concept, advancement, building and construction to management. This facility exemplifies the innovative technology of BNE and production procedure that made use of several crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and rewarding biodiesel production.

BNE's personnel will increase to support this technology program. A senior chemical process expert will be employed to perform mass and energy balance estimations and create the chemical process for sophisticated feedstocks.
