Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology
Blue Northern Energy is rejuvenating the biodiesel industry. BNE's mission is to create a sustainable and lucrative biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE combines the latest innovation advances, refining procedures and ingenious minds to establish sustainable and profitable biodiesel production centers. BNE provides guidance and solutions to companies and neighborhoods in their ventures to develop brand-new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing facilities to make them sustainable and successful. Through its work and proficiency BNE, distinguishes itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.
Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has obtained a special technology for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a constant biodiesel production procedure by the trans-esterification of vegetable oils. Multiple feedstocks might be used, enabling the most affordable expense feedstocks to be used. The capability to modify the procedure continuously, as the feedstocks change by modulating the other reactants to the procedure rather than altering batch dishes, makes it an extremely flexible and more effective process. The process likewise permits a reduction in capital expense of approximately 40% and a decrease in operating cost through lower energy cost of approximately 30%. These benefits of the technology have been confirmed through a 3rd celebration assessment finished by the Center for .
The QSB technology has been extensively checked at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe along with the USA have actually been demonstrated, both individually as well as blends.
Developing and improving the technology is a high priority for BNE, and fundamental to our global expansion plans. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a brand-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 comprehensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and speculative samples.
It is the administrator of the BN National Trail facility from concept, advancement, building and construction to management. This facility exhibits the advanced innovation of BNE and production procedure that utilized several crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and profitable biodiesel production.
BNE's personnel will increase to support this innovation program. A senior chemical process professional will be brought on board to perform mass and energy balance calculations and create the chemical process for sophisticated feedstocks.
