Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology
Blue Northern Energy is rejuvenating the biodiesel market. BNE's mission is to develop a sustainable and successful biofuel production market throughout the United States. the current technology advances, refining procedures and innovative minds to establish sustainable and lucrative biodiesel production facilities. BNE provides assistance and services to organizations and communities in their endeavors to establish brand-new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing facilities to make them sustainable and successful. Through its work and knowledge BNE, identifies 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 continuous biodiesel production process by the trans-esterification of vegetable oils. Multiple feedstocks might be used, enabling the least expensive cost feedstocks to be used. The ability to modify the procedure continuously, as the feedstocks change by regulating the other reactants to the procedure rather than changing batch dishes, makes it an extremely flexible and more effective process. The process also allows a decrease in capital expense of approximately 40% and a decrease in operating cost through lower energy cost of as much as 30%. These advantages of the technology have actually been confirmed through a 3rd celebration assessment completed by the Center for Process Innovation.
The QSB innovation has actually been extensively evaluated at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe as well as the USA have actually been demonstrated, both separately along with blends.
Developing and enhancing the technology is a high priority for BNE, and fundamental to our worldwide expansion plans. In order to support this, BNE will be establishing a new Innovation Center located next to the very first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the ability to demonstrate future feedstock processing and perform comprehensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and experimental samples.
It is the administrator of the BN National Trail center from concept, advancement, building and construction to management. This facility exhibits the revolutionary technology of BNE and production process that used numerous crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and rewarding biodiesel production.
BNE's personnel will increase to support this innovation program. A senior chemical procedure specialist will be employed to perform mass and energy balance estimations and create the chemical process for sophisticated feedstocks.
