Blue Northern Energy is renewing the biodiesel industry. BNE's mission is to create a sustainable and successful biofuel production market throughout the United States. BNE integrates the newest innovation advances, refining processes and innovative minds to develop sustainable and profitable biodiesel production facilities. BNE provides and solutions to services and neighborhoods in their endeavors to establish new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and profitable. Through its work and competence BNE, distinguishes itself as the leader in the sustainable energy field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually obtained a special 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 utilized, enabling the most affordable cost feedstocks to be used. The capability to customize the procedure constantly, as the feedstocks change by regulating the other reactants to the procedure instead of changing batch dishes, makes it a highly flexible and more effective procedure. The procedure likewise allows a decrease in capital cost of approximately 40% and a decrease in operating expense through lower energy cost of approximately 30%. These benefits of the technology have been validated through a 3rd party assessment completed by the Center for Process Innovation.

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

Developing and enhancing the innovation is a high top priority for BNE, and fundamental to our worldwide growth plans. In order to support this, BNE will be establishing a new Innovation Center located next to 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 experimental samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail facility from concept, development, building and construction to management. This facility exemplifies the revolutionary technology of BNE and production process that used several 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 process expert will be employed to carry out mass and energy balance estimations and create the chemical procedure for innovative feedstocks.
