Blue Northern Energy is rejuvenating the biodiesel industry. BNE's objective is to develop a sustainable and profitable biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE integrates the newest innovation advances, refining procedures and ingenious minds to develop sustainable and lucrative biodiesel production facilities. BNE offers assistance and options to companies and communities in their endeavors to establish new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and rewarding. Through its work and proficiency BNE, differentiates itself as the leader in the eco-friendly energy field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has obtained a distinct 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 might be used, permitting the most affordable expense feedstocks to be utilized. The ability to customize the process continuously, as the feedstocks change by regulating the other reactants to the procedure instead of changing batch recipes, makes it a highly versatile and more efficient process. The procedure also permits a reduction in capital expense of approximately 40% and a decrease in operating expense through lower energy expense of as much as 30%. These advantages of the technology have been confirmed through a 3rd party evaluation finished by the Center for Process Innovation.

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

Developing and enhancing the innovation is a high priority for BNE, and fundamental to our global growth strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be establishing a brand-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 perform comprehensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and experimental samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail facility from concept, advancement, construction to management. This facility exhibits the advanced technology of BNE and production procedure that utilized several crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and successful biodiesel production.

BNE's personnel will increase to support this technology program. A senior chemical procedure will be employed to perform mass and energy balance computations and create the chemical procedure for innovative feedstocks.
