Blue Northern Energy is renewing the biodiesel market. BNE's mission is to create a sustainable and profitable biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE combines the current innovation advances, refining processes and ingenious minds to develop sustainable and rewarding biodiesel production facilities. BNE provides assistance and services to organizations and communities in their ventures to establish new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing facilities to make them sustainable and successful. Through its work and proficiency BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually acquired 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 used, permitting the least expensive cost feedstocks to be used. The ability to modify the process continuously, as the feedstocks alter by regulating the other reactants to the process rather than changing batch recipes, makes it an extremely flexible and more efficient procedure. The procedure likewise permits a decrease in capital cost of up to 40% and a decrease in running expense through lower energy cost of up to 30%. These benefits of the technology have actually been verified through a 3rd party assessment completed by the Center for Process Innovation.

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

Developing and improving the technology is a high concern for BNE, and essential to our global growth strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be establishing a brand-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 speculative samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail center from conceptualization, development, building and construction to management. This center exhibits the advanced innovation of BNE and production procedure that used multiple crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and profitable biodiesel production.

BNE's staff will increase to support this technology program. A senior chemical process professional will be brought on board to perform mass and energy balance computations and create the chemical process for advanced feedstocks.
