Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology
Blue Northern Energy is revitalizing the biodiesel industry. BNE's mission is to create a sustainable and successful biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE combines the most recent technology advances, refining processes and ingenious minds to develop sustainable and lucrative biodiesel production centers. BNE provides guidance and options to services and communities in their undertakings to establish brand-new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing facilities to make them sustainable and successful. Through its work and knowledge BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.
Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually acquired 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 may be utilized, permitting the least expensive cost feedstocks to be used. The capability to customize the procedure continually, as the feedstocks alter by regulating the other reactants to the procedure rather than altering batch recipes, makes it an extremely flexible and more efficient procedure. The process also allows a reduction in capital expense of as much as 40% and a decrease in operating cost through lower energy expense of as much as 30%. These advantages of the technology have been verified through a 3rd celebration evaluation finished by the Center for Process Innovation.
The QSB innovation has actually been extensively tested at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe along with the USA have actually been demonstrated, both separately as well as blends.
Developing and improving the technology is a high concern for BNE, and essential to our international expansion . In order to support this, BNE will be establishing a 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 substantial fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and speculative samples.
It is the administrator of the BN National Trail center from conceptualization, advancement, construction to management. This center exhibits the advanced technology of BNE and production process that made use of numerous crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and successful biodiesel production.
BNE's staff will increase to support this technology program. A senior chemical procedure expert will be brought on board to carry out mass and energy balance estimations and design the chemical process for sophisticated feedstocks.
