Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology
Blue Northern Energy is revitalizing the biodiesel industry. BNE's objective is to create a sustainable and lucrative biofuel production market throughout the United States. BNE integrates the most current innovation advances, refining processes and ingenious minds to establish sustainable and profitable biodiesel production centers. BNE provides assistance and options to services and neighborhoods in their undertakings to establish brand-new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing facilities to make them sustainable and rewarding. Through its work and 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 process by the trans-esterification of veggie oils. Multiple feedstocks may be used, permitting the most affordable expense feedstocks to be utilized. The ability to modify the process continually, as the feedstocks change by regulating the other reactants to the procedure rather than altering batch dishes, makes it an extremely versatile and more effective procedure. The process also allows a reduction in capital expense of up to 40% and a decrease in running expense through lower energy expense of approximately 30%. These benefits of the innovation have actually been verified through a 3rd party assessment completed by the Center for Process Innovation.
The QSB innovation has been extensively evaluated at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe as well as the USA have actually been shown, both individually along with blends.
Developing and improving the technology is a high top priority for BNE, and fundamental to our global growth strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a brand-new Innovation Center situated next to the very first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the capability to show future feedstock processing and carry out extensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and experimental samples.
It is the administrator of the BN National Trail center from conceptualization, advancement, building and construction to management. This facility exhibits the advanced technology of BNE and production procedure that made use of multiple crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and successful biodiesel production.
BNE's personnel will increase to support this technology program. A senior chemical procedure expert will be employed to carry out mass and energy balance calculations and design the chemical process for advanced feedstocks.
