Blue Northern Energy is revitalizing the biodiesel industry. BNE's objective is to develop a sustainable and rewarding biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE integrates the current technology advances, refining processes and innovative minds to develop sustainable and successful biodiesel production centers. BNE provides assistance and solutions to and neighborhoods in their undertakings to develop brand-new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing facilities to make them sustainable and lucrative. Through its work and expertise BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually obtained an unique innovation for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a constant biodiesel production process by the trans-esterification of vegetable oils. Multiple feedstocks might be utilized, permitting the least expensive cost feedstocks to be utilized. The capability to modify the procedure constantly, as the feedstocks change by regulating the other reactants to the process rather than changing batch recipes, makes it an extremely flexible and more effective procedure. The procedure likewise permits a decrease in capital expense of approximately 40% and a reduction in operating cost through lower energy cost of up to 30%. These benefits of the innovation have actually been confirmed through a 3rd party assessment finished by the Center for Process Innovation.

The QSB technology has actually been thoroughly tested at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe along with the USA have actually been demonstrated, both individually along with 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 establishing a new Innovation Center situated next to the first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the ability to demonstrate future feedstock processing and carry out comprehensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and experimental samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail center from conceptualization, development, construction to management. This center exhibits the advanced innovation of BNE and production procedure that used several 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 process specialist will be employed to carry out mass and energy balance calculations and develop the chemical process for sophisticated feedstocks.
