Blue Northern Energy is revitalizing the biodiesel industry. BNE's mission is to produce a sustainable and profitable biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE integrates the latest technology advances, refining procedures and innovative minds to develop sustainable and lucrative biodiesel production centers. BNE provides assistance and solutions to organizations and communities in their undertakings to establish new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing facilities to make them sustainable and lucrative. Through its work and competence BNE, differentiates itself as the leader in the eco-friendly energy 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 vegetable oils. Multiple feedstocks may be utilized, allowing the least expensive cost feedstocks to be utilized. The capability to customize the process constantly, as the feedstocks change by regulating the other reactants to the procedure instead of altering batch recipes, makes it a highly versatile and more efficient procedure. The process also allows a reduction in capital cost of up to 40% and a reduction in operating expense through lower energy cost of as much as 30%. These advantages of the technology have been verified through a 3rd celebration evaluation finished by the Center for Process Innovation.

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

Developing and improving the technology is a high priority for BNE, and fundamental to our global growth strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be establishing a 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 perform comprehensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and speculative samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail facility from conceptualization, advancement, building and construction to management. This center exhibits the revolutionary technology of BNE and production process that made use of numerous crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and rewarding biodiesel .

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