Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology
Blue Northern Energy is renewing the biodiesel industry. BNE's objective is to develop a sustainable and rewarding biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE combines the current innovation advances, refining procedures and ingenious minds to establish sustainable and successful biodiesel production centers. BNE provides guidance and services to organizations and communities in their undertakings to develop new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing facilities to make them sustainable and profitable. Through its work and proficiency BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.
Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually gotten a distinct technology for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a constant biodiesel production process by the trans-esterification of vegetable oils. Multiple feedstocks may be used, permitting the most affordable expense feedstocks to be utilized. The ability to modify the process continuously, as the feedstocks change by modulating the other reactants to the process instead of changing batch recipes, makes it a highly versatile and more efficient procedure. The process likewise enables a reduction in capital expense of up to 40% and a reduction in operating expense through lower energy cost of approximately 30%. These benefits of the innovation have been validated through a 3rd party assessment finished by the Center for Process Innovation.
The QSB innovation has actually been thoroughly checked at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe along with the USA have been shown, both individually in addition to blends.
Developing and enhancing the technology is a high priority for BNE, and basic to our international expansion plans. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a new Innovation Center located beside the very first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the capability to show future feedstock processing and carry out substantial fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and speculative samples.
It is the administrator of the BN National Trail center from concept, development, building to management. This center exemplifies the revolutionary innovation of BNE and production procedure that made use of numerous crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and lucrative biodiesel production.
BNE's staff will increase to support this technology program. A senior chemical process expert will be brought on board to and energy balance computations and create the chemical process for advanced feedstocks.
