Blue Northern Energy is rejuvenating the biodiesel industry. BNE's mission is to create a sustainable and successful biofuel production market throughout the United States. BNE combines the most recent technology advances, refining processes and ingenious minds to develop sustainable and profitable biodiesel production facilities. BNE provides guidance and options to companies and communities in their ventures to establish new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing facilities to make them sustainable and successful. Through its work and proficiency BNE, differentiates itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually gotten an unique innovation for fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a continuous biodiesel production process by the trans-esterification of vegetable oils. Multiple feedstocks may be used, permitting the most affordable cost feedstocks to be utilized. The ability to modify the process continually, as the feedstocks change by modulating the other reactants to the process rather than altering batch dishes, makes it a highly flexible and more effective process. The process also permits a decrease in capital expense of up to 40% and a reduction in operating expense through lower energy expense of approximately 30%. These benefits of the technology have been validated through a 3rd celebration evaluation completed by the Center for Process Innovation.

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

Developing and improving the technology is a high top priority for BNE, and basic to our international growth plans. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a brand-new Innovation Center located next to the very first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the capability to demonstrate future feedstock processing and perform substantial fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and experimental samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail facility from conceptualization, advancement, construction to management. This center exemplifies the innovative innovation of BNE and production procedure that made use of 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 carry out mass and energy balance calculations and develop the chemical process for advanced feedstocks.
