Blue Northern Energy is revitalizing the biodiesel industry. BNE's mission is to create a sustainable and successful biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE integrates the current innovation advances, refining procedures and ingenious minds to develop sustainable and successful biodiesel production centers. BNE provides guidance and options to companies and communities in their undertakings to develop new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and profitable. Through its work and expertise BNE, distinguishes 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 continuous biodiesel by the trans-esterification of vegetable oils. Multiple feedstocks may be utilized, enabling the least expensive expense feedstocks to be utilized. The capability to customize the process continually, 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 process also enables a reduction in capital expense of as much as 40% and a reduction in running cost through lower energy expense of approximately 30%. These benefits of the innovation have actually been validated through a 3rd celebration evaluation completed by the Center for Process Innovation.

The QSB innovation has actually been extensively tested at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe as well as the USA have actually been shown, both individually as well as blends.

Developing and improving the innovation is a high concern for BNE, and essential to our global growth 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 ability 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 facility from conceptualization, development, building to management. This center exemplifies the advanced technology of BNE and production process that utilized several crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and lucrative biodiesel production.

BNE's personnel will increase to support this innovation program. A senior chemical process professional will be employed to perform mass and energy balance estimations and design the chemical process for innovative feedstocks.
