Blue Northern Energy is revitalizing the biodiesel industry. BNE's mission is to develop a sustainable and profitable biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE combines the current innovation advances, refining processes and innovative minds to establish sustainable and rewarding biodiesel production facilities. BNE offers guidance and solutions to companies and communities in their ventures to develop brand-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 resource field.
Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually obtained a distinct innovation 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 cost feedstocks to be utilized. The capability to modify the procedure continuously, as the feedstocks alter by modulating the other reactants to the procedure rather than changing batch recipes, makes it a highly flexible and more effective process. The procedure likewise allows a decrease in capital expense of approximately 40% and a decrease in operating cost through lower energy expense of as much as 30%. These advantages of the technology have actually been confirmed through a 3rd celebration assessment finished 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 been demonstrated, both separately in addition to blends.
Developing and improving the innovation is a high top priority for BNE, and essential to our worldwide expansion plans. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a new Innovation Center located next to the first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the ability to demonstrate 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 center from concept, advancement, building and construction to management. This facility exemplifies the advanced technology of BNE and production procedure that made use of several crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and rewarding biodiesel production.
BNE's staff will increase to support this innovation program. A senior chemical process professional will be employed to carry out mass and energy balance calculations and create the chemical procedure for advanced feedstocks.
