Blue Northern Energy is rejuvenating the biodiesel market. BNE's objective 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 lucrative biodiesel production facilities. BNE supplies assistance and solutions to services and communities in their endeavors to establish new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and lucrative. Through its work and proficiency BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the eco-friendly energy field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has obtained a special technology for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a continuous biodiesel production procedure by the trans-esterification of veggie oils. Multiple feedstocks may be used, enabling the lowest cost feedstocks to be used. The capability to modify the procedure continually, as the feedstocks change by modulating the other reactants to the procedure instead of changing batch recipes, makes it a highly flexible and more efficient procedure. The procedure also allows a decrease in capital expense of approximately 40% and a decrease in through lower energy expense of approximately 30%. These advantages of the innovation have actually been confirmed through a 3rd celebration evaluation completed by the Center for Process Innovation.

The QSB innovation has actually been thoroughly tested at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe along with the USA have actually been shown, both separately in addition to blends.

Developing and improving the technology is a high concern for BNE, and basic to our worldwide growth plans. In order to support this, BNE will be establishing a brand-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 carry out comprehensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and speculative samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail facility from conceptualization, development, construction to management. This center exemplifies the innovative technology of BNE and production process that utilized several crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and successful biodiesel production.

BNE's personnel will increase to support this technology program. A senior chemical process professional will be brought on board to carry out mass and energy balance computations and create the chemical process for innovative feedstocks.
