Blue Northern Energy is rejuvenating the biodiesel industry. BNE's mission is to produce a sustainable and lucrative biofuel production market throughout the United States. BNE combines the newest technology advances, refining procedures and innovative minds to establish sustainable and profitable biodiesel production centers. BNE offers guidance and options to services and communities in their ventures to develop new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and rewarding. Through its work and expertise BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has obtained a distinct 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 may be used, permitting the least expensive cost feedstocks to be utilized. The capability to customize the procedure continually, as the feedstocks alter by modulating the other reactants to the procedure instead of changing batch recipes, makes it an extremely versatile and more efficient procedure. The process likewise enables a reduction in capital expense of approximately 40% and a reduction in operating expense through lower energy cost of as much as 30%. These advantages of the innovation have actually been confirmed through a 3rd party assessment finished by the Center for Process Innovation.

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

Developing and improving the innovation is a high concern for BNE, and basic to our international expansion plans. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a brand-new Innovation Center situated next to the very first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the capability to demonstrate future feedstock processing and carry out substantial fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and speculative samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail center from concept, advancement, construction to management. This center exhibits the innovative technology of BNE and that made use of several crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and rewarding biodiesel production.

BNE's personnel will increase to support this technology program. A senior chemical procedure expert will be brought on board to perform mass and energy balance computations and create the chemical process for sophisticated feedstocks.
