Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology
Blue Northern Energy is rejuvenating the biodiesel industry. BNE's objective is to produce a sustainable and profitable biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE integrates the newest technology advances, refining processes and innovative minds to develop sustainable and rewarding biodiesel production facilities. BNE offers guidance and services to businesses and neighborhoods in their undertakings to develop brand-new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and successful. Through its work and know-how BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the sustainable energy field.
Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has gotten a distinct technology for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a continuous biodiesel production procedure by the trans-esterification of vegetable oils. Multiple feedstocks may be used, allowing the most affordable cost feedstocks to be utilized. The capability to customize the procedure constantly, as the feedstocks alter by modulating the other reactants to the process instead of altering batch recipes, makes it an extremely flexible and more efficient procedure. The process also permits a reduction in capital expense of as much as 40% and a reduction in operating cost through lower energy cost of up to 30%. These benefits of the technology have actually been verified through a 3rd celebration evaluation completed by the Center for Process Innovation.
The QSB innovation has actually been thoroughly tested 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 technology is a high concern for BNE, and essential 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 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, advancement, building and construction to management. This center exemplifies the innovative innovation of BNE and production process that used 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 professional will be brought on board to carry out mass and energy balance and create the chemical process for innovative feedstocks.
