Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology
Blue Northern Energy is rejuvenating the biodiesel market. BNE's mission is to create a sustainable and lucrative biofuel production market throughout the United States. BNE combines the most recent innovation advances, refining processes and innovative minds to develop sustainable and lucrative biodiesel production facilities. BNE offers assistance and services to organizations and neighborhoods in their ventures to establish brand-new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing facilities to make them sustainable and successful. Through its work and know-how BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the eco-friendly energy field.
Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually obtained an unique innovation for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a continuous biodiesel production procedure by the trans-esterification of vegetable oils. Multiple feedstocks might be utilized, permitting the most affordable expense feedstocks to be utilized. The capability 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 versatile and more efficient procedure. The process also enables a reduction in capital expense of approximately 40% and a decrease in operating cost through lower energy cost of as much as 30%. These advantages of the innovation have actually been validated through a 3rd celebration assessment finished by the Center for Process Innovation.
The QSB innovation has been extensively evaluated at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe as well as the USA have actually been shown, both separately as well as blends.
Developing and improving the technology is a high top priority for BNE, and essential to our worldwide growth strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a brand-new Innovation Center situated beside the first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the ability to demonstrate future feedstock processing and perform comprehensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and experimental samples.
It is the administrator of the BN National Trail facility from concept, advancement, building and construction to management. This center exemplifies the innovative technology of BNE and production procedure that used several crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and rewarding biodiesel production.
BNE's personnel will increase to support this innovation program. A senior chemical procedure professional will be brought on board to perform mass and computations and develop the chemical process for innovative feedstocks.
