Blue Northern Energy is rejuvenating the biodiesel industry. BNE's mission is to develop a sustainable and profitable biofuel production market throughout the United States. BNE integrates the newest technology advances, refining procedures and ingenious minds to establish sustainable and successful biodiesel production facilities. BNE provides guidance and solutions to businesses and neighborhoods in their ventures to develop new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing facilities to make them sustainable and profitable. Through its work and knowledge BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually gotten a distinct innovation for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel (QSB) is a constant biodiesel production process by the trans-esterification of veggie oils. Multiple feedstocks might be utilized, allowing the lowest expense feedstocks to be utilized. The ability to modify the procedure continuously, as the feedstocks change by modulating the other reactants to the process rather than changing batch dishes, makes it an extremely flexible and more effective procedure. The process likewise allows a decrease in capital expense of as much as 40% and a decrease in running cost through lower energy cost of as much as 30%. These advantages of the technology have actually 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 been shown, both individually along with blends.

Developing and improving the technology is a high priority for BNE, and fundamental to our worldwide expansion plans. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a new Innovation Center situated next to the first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the capability to show future feedstock processing and perform substantial fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and experimental samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail center from concept, advancement, building to management. This facility exemplifies the innovative technology of BNE and production procedure that utilized several crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and rewarding biodiesel production.

BNE's staff will increase to support this innovation program. A senior chemical procedure professional will be employed to perform mass and energy balance calculations and create the chemical process for innovative feedstocks.
