Blue Northern Energy is renewing the biodiesel industry. BNE's objective is to create a sustainable and profitable biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE combines the most recent technology advances, refining procedures and innovative minds to establish sustainable and profitable biodiesel production centers. BNE provides assistance and solutions to businesses and communities in their undertakings to develop brand-new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and rewarding. Through its work and knowledge BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the sustainable energy field.
Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually 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 used, allowing the least expensive cost feedstocks to be utilized. The capability to modify the process continuously, as the feedstocks alter by regulating the other reactants to the procedure instead of altering batch dishes, makes it an extremely flexible and more effective process. The process likewise allows a reduction in capital cost of approximately 40% and a reduction in operating expense through lower energy expense of as much as 30%. These advantages of the innovation have actually been validated through a 3rd celebration evaluation completed by the Center for Process Innovation.
The QSB technology has been thoroughly evaluated at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe as well as the USA have been demonstrated, both individually as well as blends.
Developing and enhancing the technology is a high priority for BNE, and fundamental to our worldwide growth strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a brand-new Innovation Center situated beside the first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the ability to demonstrate future feedstock processing and perform extensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and speculative samples.
It is the administrator of the BN National Trail center from conceptualization, development, building to management. This facility exemplifies the advanced innovation of BNE and production procedure that made use of several crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and successful biodiesel production.
BNE's staff will increase to support this innovation program. A senior chemical procedure professional will be employed to perform mass and energy balance estimations and design the chemical process for innovative feedstocks.
