Blue Northern Energy is renewing the biodiesel industry. BNE's objective is to produce a sustainable and successful biofuel production market throughout the United States. BNE integrates the most recent technology advances, refining procedures and ingenious minds to establish sustainable and profitable biodiesel production centers. BNE offers guidance and solutions to companies and communities in their ventures to establish new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and rewarding. Through its work and competence BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the renewable energy field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually obtained a special innovation for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a constant biodiesel production procedure by the trans-esterification of veggie oils. Multiple feedstocks might be used, enabling the most affordable cost feedstocks to be utilized. The capability to customize the procedure continually, as the feedstocks alter by regulating the other reactants to the process instead of altering batch recipes, makes it a highly flexible and more effective process. The procedure likewise enables a reduction in capital cost of up to 40% and a decrease in operating expense through lower energy cost of as much as 30%. These advantages of the technology have actually been verified through a 3rd party assessment finished by the Center for Process Innovation.

The QSB technology has actually been extensively tested at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe as well as the USA have been shown, both separately in addition to blends.

Developing and improving the technology is a high top priority for BNE, and basic to our global growth strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be a new Innovation Center situated next to the first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the capability to demonstrate future feedstock processing and perform comprehensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and experimental samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail facility from concept, development, building and construction to management. This center exemplifies the advanced innovation of BNE and production procedure that made use of several 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 procedure expert will be employed to carry out mass and energy balance computations and create the chemical process for sophisticated feedstocks.
