Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology
Blue Northern Energy is revitalizing the biodiesel industry. BNE's mission is to develop a sustainable and profitable biofuel production market throughout the United States. BNE integrates the most current innovation advances, refining processes and innovative minds to develop sustainable and successful biodiesel production facilities. BNE provides assistance and solutions to services and neighborhoods in their endeavors to establish brand-new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and profitable. Through its work and knowledge BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.
Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually gotten 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 may be utilized, permitting the most affordable expense feedstocks to be used. The ability to modify the process continuously, as the feedstocks change by regulating the other reactants to the process rather than changing batch dishes, makes it a highly versatile and more effective process. The process also allows a reduction in capital expense of approximately 40% and a decrease in running expense through lower energy expense of approximately 30%. These benefits of the technology have actually been validated through a 3rd celebration assessment completed by the Center for Process Innovation.
The QSB technology has actually been extensively checked at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe in addition to the USA have been shown, both individually along with blends.
Developing and improving the technology is a high top priority for BNE, and basic to our worldwide expansion plans. In order to support this, BNE will be establishing a new Innovation Center located beside the first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the ability to show future feedstock processing and perform substantial fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and experimental samples.
It is the administrator of the Trail center from conceptualization, development, building to management. This center exemplifies the advanced innovation of BNE and production procedure that used multiple crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and rewarding biodiesel production.
BNE's personnel will increase to support this technology program. A senior chemical procedure expert will be brought on board to perform mass and energy balance computations and develop the chemical process for sophisticated feedstocks.
