Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology
Blue Northern Energy is renewing the biodiesel market. BNE's objective is to develop a sustainable and rewarding biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE combines the current innovation advances, refining processes and ingenious minds to develop sustainable and successful biodiesel production centers. BNE supplies guidance and services to and communities in their ventures to establish brand-new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing facilities to make them sustainable and profitable. Through its work and competence BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.
Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually obtained an unique 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 may be utilized, allowing the least expensive cost feedstocks to be utilized. The capability to customize the procedure continually, as the feedstocks alter by regulating the other reactants to the process rather than changing batch dishes, makes it a highly versatile and more efficient process. The procedure likewise allows a reduction in capital expense of as much as 40% and a reduction in operating expense through lower energy cost of as much as 30%. These advantages of the innovation have actually been confirmed 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 actually been shown, both individually in addition to blends.
Developing and improving the technology is a high top priority for BNE, and basic to our worldwide growth strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be establishing a new Innovation Center situated next to the first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the capability 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, development, building and construction to management. This center exhibits the innovative technology of BNE and production procedure that used multiple 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 procedure specialist will be brought on board to carry out mass and energy balance computations and create the chemical process for innovative feedstocks.
