Blue Northern Energy is rejuvenating the biodiesel market. BNE's mission is to produce a sustainable and rewarding biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE integrates the most recent technology advances, refining processes and ingenious minds to establish sustainable and rewarding biodiesel production facilities. BNE provides assistance and solutions to services and neighborhoods in their undertakings to develop new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing facilities to make them sustainable and rewarding. Through its work and knowledge BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually gotten a distinct technology for fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a constant biodiesel production process by the trans-esterification of vegetable oils. Multiple feedstocks might be used, enabling the lowest expense feedstocks to be used. The ability to modify the process constantly, as the feedstocks change by modulating the other reactants to the process rather than altering batch recipes, makes it an extremely flexible and more effective process. The process likewise permits a reduction in capital cost of up to 40% and a decrease in running cost through lower energy cost of up to 30%. These advantages of the innovation have actually been validated through a 3rd party evaluation completed by the Center for Process Innovation.

The QSB innovation has actually been extensively checked at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe along with the USA have been demonstrated, both individually as well as blends.

Developing and enhancing the technology is a high priority for BNE, and essential to our international growth plans. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a brand-new Innovation Center located beside the very first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the ability to demonstrate future feedstock processing and perform extensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and experimental samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail facility from conceptualization, advancement, building and construction to management. This facility exemplifies the revolutionary innovation of BNE and production process that made use of several 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 specialist will be employed to perform mass and energy balance estimations and develop the chemical process for innovative feedstocks.
