Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology
Blue Northern Energy is revitalizing the biodiesel industry. BNE's mission is to create a sustainable and successful biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE integrates the current technology advances, refining procedures and innovative minds to establish sustainable and lucrative biodiesel production centers. BNE provides assistance and options to companies and communities in their endeavors to develop brand-new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and successful. Through its work and knowledge BNE, differentiates itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.
Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has acquired 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 might be utilized, enabling the most affordable cost feedstocks to be used. The capability to modify the procedure constantly, as the feedstocks change by modulating the other reactants to the process instead of changing batch dishes, makes it an extremely flexible and more efficient procedure. The procedure also allows a reduction in capital expense of up to 40% and a reduction in operating expense through cost of approximately 30%. These benefits of the technology have been verified through a 3rd party evaluation completed by the Center for Process Innovation.
The QSB technology has actually been thoroughly checked at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe as well as the USA have been shown, both individually as well as blends.
Developing and improving the innovation 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 first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the ability to demonstrate future feedstock processing and carry out substantial fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and experimental samples.
It is the administrator of the BN National Trail center from concept, advancement, construction to management. This facility exhibits the innovative innovation of BNE and production procedure that utilized several crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and rewarding biodiesel production.
BNE's personnel will increase to support this innovation program. A senior chemical process professional will be brought on board to carry out mass and energy balance computations and develop the chemical process for advanced feedstocks.
