Blue Northern Energy is rejuvenating the biodiesel market. BNE's mission is to develop a sustainable and successful biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE combines the most recent technology advances, refining procedures and innovative minds to establish sustainable and successful biodiesel production centers. BNE offers guidance and options to companies and communities in their ventures to establish new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and rewarding. Through its work and expertise BNE, distinguishes itself as the leader in the renewable energy field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually obtained a distinct innovation for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a constant biodiesel production process by the trans-esterification of vegetable oils. may be used, allowing the least expensive 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 altering batch recipes, makes it a highly flexible and more efficient procedure. The process also permits a decrease in capital cost of up to 40% and a reduction in operating expense through lower energy cost of up to 30%. These benefits of the technology have been confirmed through a 3rd celebration evaluation completed by the Center for Process Innovation.

The QSB technology has been extensively tested at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe in addition to the USA have been demonstrated, both individually as well as blends.

Developing and improving the technology is a high top priority for BNE, and essential to our global growth plans. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a brand-new Innovation Center situated beside the very first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the capability to demonstrate future feedstock processing and perform substantial fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and experimental samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail facility from conceptualization, development, building and construction to management. This center exhibits the revolutionary technology 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 technology program. A senior chemical process specialist will be employed to carry out mass and energy balance estimations and create the chemical procedure for innovative feedstocks.
