Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology
Blue Northern Energy is renewing the biodiesel market. BNE's objective is to create a sustainable and rewarding biofuel production market throughout the United States. BNE integrates the current innovation advances, refining procedures and ingenious minds to develop sustainable and rewarding biodiesel production centers. BNE supplies assistance and solutions to services and communities in their ventures to establish brand-new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and rewarding. Through its work and expertise BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.
Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has gotten an unique innovation for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a constant biodiesel production procedure by the trans-esterification of vegetable oils. Multiple feedstocks may be used, permitting the least expensive cost feedstocks to be utilized. The ability to modify the process continually, as the feedstocks alter by modulating the other reactants to the process rather than changing batch dishes, makes it a highly flexible and more effective procedure. The procedure likewise enables a reduction in capital cost of up to 40% and a reduction in running expense through lower energy cost of as much as 30%. These benefits of the innovation have actually been confirmed through a 3rd party evaluation finished by the Center for Process Innovation.
The QSB technology has actually been extensively evaluated at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe in addition to the USA have been demonstrated, both along with blends.
Developing and enhancing the technology is a high concern for BNE, and basic to our global growth strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be establishing a new Innovation Center situated beside the 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 experimental samples.
It is the administrator of the BN National Trail facility from conceptualization, development, building to management. This facility exhibits the innovative technology of BNE and production process that made use of several crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and profitable biodiesel production.
BNE's personnel will increase to support this technology program. A senior chemical process professional will be employed to perform mass and energy balance estimations and design the chemical process for innovative feedstocks.
