Blue Northern Energy is renewing the biodiesel industry. BNE's mission is to develop a sustainable and rewarding biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE combines the current innovation advances, refining procedures and innovative minds to establish sustainable and lucrative biodiesel production facilities. BNE offers guidance and services to organizations and communities in their ventures to establish brand-new biodiesel production facilities or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and profitable. Through its work and expertise BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has actually obtained a special innovation for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a continuous biodiesel production process by the trans-esterification of vegetable oils. Multiple feedstocks may be used, enabling the lowest cost feedstocks to be utilized. The ability to customize the procedure continually, as the feedstocks change by regulating the other reactants to the process instead of changing batch recipes, makes it an extremely versatile and more efficient process. The process also enables a decrease in capital cost of as much as 40% and a decrease in running expense through lower energy expense of as much as 30%. These of the innovation have been validated through a 3rd celebration 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 as well as the USA have been demonstrated, both individually as well as blends.

Developing and improving the technology is a high concern for BNE, and basic to our global growth strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be establishing a new Innovation Center situated beside the first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the capability to show 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 facility from concept, development, building and construction to management. This facility exhibits the advanced innovation of BNE and production process that used multiple crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and profitable biodiesel production.

BNE's personnel will increase to support this technology program. A senior chemical process specialist will be employed to carry out mass and energy balance calculations and design the chemical procedure for sophisticated feedstocks.
