Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology
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 combines the current innovation advances, refining procedures and ingenious minds to establish sustainable and successful biodiesel production facilities. BNE supplies guidance and solutions to services and neighborhoods in their endeavors to develop brand-new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing facilities to make them sustainable and profitable. Through its work and BNE, differentiates itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.
Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has obtained a special innovation 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 utilized, allowing the most affordable cost feedstocks to be used. The capability to modify the procedure continuously, as the feedstocks alter by modulating the other reactants to the process rather than changing batch dishes, makes it an extremely versatile and more efficient procedure. The process also enables a decrease in capital cost of approximately 40% and a decrease in running cost through lower energy expense of as much as 30%. These advantages of the technology have been confirmed through a 3rd celebration assessment 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 been demonstrated, both separately as well as blends.
Developing and improving the innovation is a high priority for BNE, and fundamental to our worldwide growth strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a new Innovation Center situated next to the very first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the capability to show future feedstock processing and perform comprehensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and experimental samples.
It is the administrator of the BN National Trail center from concept, development, construction to management. This facility exhibits the advanced innovation of BNE and production procedure that utilized multiple crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and rewarding 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 estimations and create the chemical procedure for advanced feedstocks.
