Blue Northern Energy is renewing the biodiesel industry. BNE's mission is to produce a sustainable and rewarding biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE combines the most recent technology advances, refining procedures and innovative minds to establish sustainable and profitable biodiesel production centers. BNE provides assistance and solutions to organizations and communities in their ventures to establish new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and profitable. Through its work and competence BNE, identifies itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has gotten a special technology 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 most affordable cost feedstocks to be utilized. The ability to modify the procedure constantly, as the feedstocks change by regulating the other reactants to the procedure rather than changing batch dishes, makes it a highly versatile and more efficient procedure. The procedure also permits a reduction in capital expense of approximately 40% and a reduction in running expense through lower energy cost of as much as 30%. These advantages of the technology have been confirmed through a 3rd party assessment completed by the Center for Process Innovation.

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

Developing and enhancing the innovation is a high concern for BNE, and essential to our worldwide growth strategies. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a brand-new Innovation Center situated next to the first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the ability to show future feedstock processing and perform comprehensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and speculative samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail facility from conceptualization, advancement, building and construction to management. This facility exhibits the innovative innovation of BNE and production process that used multiple crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and rewarding biodiesel production.

BNE's staff will increase to support this technology program. A senior chemical process expert will be to perform mass and energy balance calculations and design the chemical procedure for innovative feedstocks.
