Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology
Blue Northern Energy is rejuvenating the biodiesel industry. BNE's mission is to develop a sustainable and successful biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE integrates the current innovation advances, refining procedures and innovative minds to establish sustainable and successful biodiesel production facilities. BNE provides assistance and options to companies and neighborhoods in their endeavors to establish new biodiesel production centers 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 gotten a distinct 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 may be utilized, allowing the least expensive cost feedstocks to be utilized. The capability to customize the process continuously, as the feedstocks alter by regulating the other reactants to the process rather than altering batch recipes, makes it a highly versatile and more efficient process. The process likewise permits a decrease in capital expense of up to 40% and a decrease in operating cost through cost of up to 30%. These benefits of the technology have actually been confirmed through a 3rd party evaluation completed by the Center for Process Innovation.
The QSB technology has actually been thoroughly tested at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe in addition to the USA have been demonstrated, both separately as well as blends.
Developing and enhancing the innovation is a high concern for BNE, and basic to our global expansion strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a brand-new Innovation Center situated next to the first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the ability to demonstrate 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 concept, advancement, construction to management. This facility exhibits the revolutionary technology of BNE and production procedure that made use of multiple crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and profitable biodiesel production.
BNE's staff will increase to support this innovation program. A senior chemical process specialist will be brought on board to perform mass and energy balance calculations and develop the chemical procedure for sophisticated feedstocks.
