Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology
Blue Northern Energy is revitalizing the biodiesel market. BNE's mission is to develop a sustainable and rewarding biofuel production market throughout the United States. BNE combines the current innovation advances, refining procedures and innovative minds to develop sustainable and successful biodiesel . BNE provides guidance and solutions to organizations and neighborhoods in their undertakings to establish new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and successful. Through its work and expertise BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.
Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually 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 may be utilized, permitting the most affordable expense feedstocks to be used. The ability to customize the process continuously, as the feedstocks alter by modulating the other reactants to the process instead of changing batch dishes, makes it an extremely flexible and more efficient process. The procedure likewise permits a reduction in capital cost of as much as 40% and a reduction in operating expense through lower energy expense of as much as 30%. These benefits of the technology have actually been confirmed through a 3rd celebration assessment finished by the Center for Process Innovation.
The QSB innovation has been thoroughly checked at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe along with the USA have actually been shown, both individually in addition to blends.
Developing and improving the innovation is a high concern for BNE, and essential to our global growth strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a brand-new Innovation Center located beside the very first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the capability to demonstrate future feedstock processing and perform substantial fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and speculative samples.
It is the administrator of the BN National Trail center from concept, development, building to management. This center 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 expert will be brought on board to carry out mass and energy balance computations and design the chemical procedure for innovative feedstocks.
