Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology
Blue Northern Energy is renewing the biodiesel market. BNE's mission is to develop 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 rewarding biodiesel production centers. BNE supplies 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 proficiency BNE, distinguishes itself as the leader in the renewable energy field.
Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually acquired an unique technology for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a continuous biodiesel production process by the trans-esterification of vegetable oils. Multiple feedstocks might be utilized, allowing the least expensive cost feedstocks to be used. The capability to the procedure constantly, as the feedstocks alter by modulating the other reactants to the procedure rather than altering batch dishes, makes it an extremely versatile and more efficient procedure. The process likewise enables a reduction in capital expense of up to 40% and a reduction in operating cost through lower energy expense of approximately 30%. These advantages of the technology have been validated through a 3rd celebration assessment finished by the Center for Process Innovation.
The QSB innovation has been extensively checked at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe as well as the USA have been demonstrated, both individually in addition to blends.
Developing and improving the innovation is a high top priority for BNE, and fundamental to our international expansion strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be establishing a brand-new Innovation Center located beside the very first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the capability to show future feedstock processing and carry out extensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and speculative samples.
It is the administrator of the BN National Trail facility from conceptualization, development, building and construction to management. This facility exhibits the advanced technology of BNE and production process that used multiple crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and successful biodiesel production.
BNE's personnel will increase to support this innovation program. A senior chemical procedure professional will be brought on board to carry out mass and energy balance calculations and develop the chemical process for innovative feedstocks.
