Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology
Blue Northern Energy is renewing the biodiesel industry. BNE's mission is to develop a sustainable and successful biofuel production market throughout the United States. BNE integrates the most current technology advances, refining processes and innovative minds to develop sustainable and profitable biodiesel production facilities. BNE provides assistance and solutions to businesses and communities in their endeavors to develop brand-new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing facilities to make them sustainable and lucrative. Through its work and expertise BNE, differentiates itself as the leader in the sustainable energy field.
Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually gotten a distinct technology for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a continuous biodiesel production procedure by the trans-esterification of vegetable oils. Multiple feedstocks may be used, enabling the lowest expense feedstocks to be utilized. The ability to modify the process constantly, as the feedstocks alter by regulating the other reactants to the procedure instead of altering batch recipes, makes it a highly versatile and more effective process. The process also permits a reduction in capital cost of approximately 40% and a reduction in running cost through lower energy expense of up to 30%. These advantages of the technology have actually been validated through a 3rd party assessment finished by the Center for Process Innovation.
The QSB innovation has actually been thoroughly evaluated at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe as well as the USA have been shown, both separately as well as blends.
Developing and enhancing the technology is a high priority for BNE, and fundamental to our international expansion plans. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a brand-new Innovation Center situated next to the first biodiesel plant in Newton, . The center will have the ability to demonstrate future feedstock processing and carry out substantial fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and experimental samples.
It is the administrator of the BN National Trail facility from concept, advancement, building to management. This facility exhibits the advanced technology of BNE and production procedure that utilized multiple crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and successful biodiesel production.
BNE's personnel will increase to support this innovation program. A senior chemical procedure specialist will be employed to perform mass and energy balance calculations and develop the chemical procedure for sophisticated feedstocks.
