Blue Northern Energy is renewing the biodiesel market. BNE's mission is to create a sustainable and profitable biofuel production market throughout the United States. BNE integrates the most current technology advances, refining procedures and innovative minds to establish sustainable and lucrative biodiesel production facilities. BNE provides guidance and solutions to businesses 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 know-how BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has acquired 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 most affordable cost feedstocks to be used. The ability to customize the process continually, as the feedstocks alter by regulating the other reactants to the procedure instead of changing batch dishes, makes it an extremely flexible and more efficient procedure. The procedure likewise permits a reduction in capital expense of as much as 40% and a reduction in running cost through lower energy expense of approximately 30%. These advantages of the innovation have actually been confirmed through a 3rd party assessment finished 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 shown, both individually in addition to blends.

Developing and enhancing the technology is a high concern for BNE, and basic to our worldwide expansion strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a brand-new Innovation Center located beside the very 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 center from conceptualization, development, construction to management. This facility exhibits the advanced technology of BNE and production procedure that made use of crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and successful biodiesel production.

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