Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology
Blue Northern Energy is rejuvenating the biodiesel industry. BNE's mission is to create a sustainable and lucrative biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE integrates the most current innovation advances, refining processes and innovative minds to develop sustainable and rewarding biodiesel production centers. BNE supplies guidance and options to companies and communities in their ventures to develop new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and successful. Through its work and competence BNE, distinguishes itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.
Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has obtained a special technology for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a constant biodiesel production procedure by the trans-esterification of veggie oils. Multiple feedstocks may be used, enabling the most affordable expense feedstocks to be utilized. The capability to modify the procedure constantly, as the feedstocks alter by regulating the other reactants to the procedure instead of altering batch dishes, makes it an extremely versatile and more efficient process. The process likewise allows a reduction in capital expense of as much as 40% and a decrease in operating expense through lower energy expense of up to 30%. These benefits of the innovation have actually been verified through a 3rd celebration evaluation completed by the Center for Process Innovation.
The QSB technology has been extensively checked at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe as well as the USA have actually been shown, both separately along with blends.
Developing and improving the technology is a high priority for BNE, and basic to our international growth plans. 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 and carry out extensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and experimental samples.
It is the administrator of the BN National Trail center from concept, advancement, building to management. This facility exemplifies the advanced technology of BNE and production procedure that used numerous crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and profitable biodiesel production.
BNE's personnel will increase to support this innovation program. A senior chemical procedure specialist will be brought on board to perform mass and energy balance estimations and develop the chemical procedure for sophisticated feedstocks.
