Blue Northern Energy is rejuvenating the biodiesel industry. BNE's mission is to develop a sustainable and lucrative biofuel production market throughout the United States. BNE integrates the latest innovation advances, refining processes and innovative minds to establish sustainable and production facilities. BNE offers assistance and options to organizations and communities in their ventures to establish brand-new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing facilities to make them sustainable and profitable. Through its work and competence BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the eco-friendly energy field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has gotten a special technology for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a continuous biodiesel production process by the trans-esterification of veggie oils. Multiple feedstocks might be utilized, permitting the lowest expense feedstocks to be utilized. The capability to modify the process continually, as the feedstocks alter by modulating the other reactants to the procedure instead of changing batch dishes, makes it an extremely flexible and more efficient process. The procedure also permits a decrease in capital cost of up to 40% and a decrease in running cost through lower energy cost of approximately 30%. These benefits of the technology have been confirmed through a 3rd party evaluation completed by the Center for Process Innovation.

The QSB technology has actually been extensively checked at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe along with the USA have been demonstrated, both individually along with blends.

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

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail facility from conceptualization, advancement, construction to management. This center exhibits the advanced technology of BNE and production process that made use of numerous 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 specialist will be brought on board to perform mass and energy balance calculations and create the chemical procedure for innovative feedstocks.
