Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology
Blue Northern Energy is renewing the biodiesel industry. BNE's mission is to produce a sustainable and rewarding biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE integrates the current innovation advances, refining processes and innovative minds to develop sustainable and profitable biodiesel production centers. BNE provides guidance and services to businesses and communities in their undertakings to establish brand-new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and profitable. Through its work and knowledge BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the eco-friendly energy field.
Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually acquired an unique 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 utilized, permitting the least expensive expense feedstocks to be used. The ability to customize the process continuously, as the feedstocks change by modulating the other reactants to the process rather than altering batch recipes, makes it a highly versatile and more effective process. The process also enables a reduction in capital expense of up to 40% and a reduction in operating cost through lower energy cost of up to 30%. These advantages of the technology have actually been confirmed through a 3rd party evaluation finished by the Center for Process Innovation.
The QSB technology has been thoroughly tested at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe as well as the USA have actually been shown, both individually as well as blends.
Developing and enhancing the technology is a high priority for BNE, and basic to our global expansion strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a brand-new Innovation Center located next to the first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the ability to show future feedstock processing and carry out extensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and speculative samples.
It is the administrator of the BN National Trail center from conceptualization, advancement, and construction to management. This center exhibits the innovative innovation of BNE and production process that utilized 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 employed to carry out mass and energy balance estimations and develop the chemical process for innovative feedstocks.
