Blue Northern Energy is renewing the biodiesel industry. BNE's objective is to develop a sustainable and successful biofuel production market throughout the United States. BNE combines the newest innovation advances, refining procedures and innovative minds to develop sustainable and lucrative biodiesel production centers. BNE provides assistance and options to organizations and communities in their endeavors to establish new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and lucrative. Through its work and knowledge BNE, distinguishes itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually acquired a special 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 used, allowing the lowest cost feedstocks to be used. The capability to modify the procedure continually, as the feedstocks change by modulating the other reactants to the process rather than changing batch dishes, makes it a highly versatile and more effective process. The process also permits a reduction in capital cost of up to 40% and a reduction in operating expense through lower of as much as 30%. These advantages of the technology have actually been confirmed through a 3rd party assessment finished by the Center for Process Innovation.

The QSB innovation has been thoroughly tested at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe along with the USA have actually been demonstrated, both separately along with blends.

Developing and enhancing the technology is a high priority for BNE, and basic to our worldwide growth strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be establishing a brand-new Innovation Center situated beside the first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the ability to show future feedstock processing and perform substantial 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 revolutionary technology 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 technology program. A senior chemical process professional will be brought on board to perform mass and energy balance estimations and design the chemical process for innovative feedstocks.
