Blue Northern Energy is rejuvenating the biodiesel industry. BNE's objective is to create a sustainable and lucrative biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE integrates the current innovation advances, refining processes and innovative minds to establish sustainable and profitable biodiesel production facilities. BNE provides assistance and services to organizations and in their undertakings to establish brand-new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and profitable. Through its work and know-how BNE, distinguishes itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has obtained an unique innovation 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 most affordable cost feedstocks to be utilized. The ability to modify the process continually, as the feedstocks alter by regulating the other reactants to the process instead of altering batch dishes, makes it a highly flexible and more effective procedure. The procedure likewise allows a decrease in capital cost of approximately 40% and a decrease in running cost through lower energy cost of approximately 30%. These benefits of the technology have actually been verified through a 3rd party evaluation finished by the Center for Process Innovation.

The QSB innovation has been extensively evaluated at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe as well as the USA have been demonstrated, both individually in addition to blends.

Developing and improving the technology is a high top priority for BNE, and basic to our global expansion plans. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a new Innovation Center located next to the very first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the capability to show 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 facility from conceptualization, development, building and construction to management. This center exemplifies the advanced technology of BNE and production procedure that used numerous crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and rewarding biodiesel production.

BNE's personnel will increase to support this technology program. A senior chemical process expert will be brought on board to perform mass and energy balance calculations and design the chemical procedure for sophisticated feedstocks.
