Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology
Blue Northern Energy is rejuvenating the biodiesel market. BNE’s objective is to create a sustainable and rewarding biofuel production market throughout the United States. BNE integrates the latest technology advances, refining processes and ingenious minds to develop sustainable and lucrative biodiesel production facilities. BNE supplies assistance and options to services and in their ventures to develop new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and lucrative. Through its work and expertise BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.
Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually obtained a special innovation 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 utilized, enabling the least expensive cost feedstocks to be used. The ability to modify the procedure continuously, as the feedstocks change by modulating the other reactants to the procedure instead of changing batch recipes, makes it an extremely flexible and more effective process. The procedure also allows a reduction in capital cost of as much as 40% and a decrease in running expense through lower energy expense of as much as 30%. These advantages of the innovation have actually been validated through a 3rd celebration assessment completed by the Center for Process Innovation.
The QSB technology has actually been extensively evaluated at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe along with the USA have actually been demonstrated, both separately along with blends.
Developing and improving the innovation is a high priority for BNE, and basic to our worldwide 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 demonstrate future feedstock processing and perform substantial fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and experimental samples.
It is the administrator of the BN National Trail center from concept, development, building and construction to management. This center exhibits the advanced innovation of BNE and production process that made use of several crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and rewarding biodiesel production.
BNE’s staff will increase to support this technology program. A senior chemical process expert will be brought on board to carry out mass and energy balance calculations and design the chemical procedure for sophisticated feedstocks.
