Blue Northern Energy is revitalizing the biodiesel industry. BNE's mission is to produce a sustainable and rewarding biofuel production market throughout the United States. BNE integrates the most recent technology advances, refining processes and ingenious minds to develop sustainable and successful biodiesel production facilities. BNE provides guidance and options to businesses and neighborhoods in their undertakings to develop new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing facilities 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 actually obtained a distinct 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 might be used, permitting the most affordable cost feedstocks to be utilized. The capability to customize the process constantly, as the feedstocks change by regulating the other reactants to the procedure instead of changing batch recipes, makes it an extremely flexible and more effective process. The procedure also permits a decrease in capital cost of approximately 40% and a reduction in operating expense through lower energy cost of approximately 30%. These advantages of the innovation have actually been verified through a 3rd party assessment finished by the Center for Process Innovation.

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

Developing and improving the innovation is a high top priority for BNE, and basic to our international expansion plans. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a brand-new Innovation Center located beside the first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the capability to demonstrate 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 conceptualization, advancement, building to management. This center exemplifies the innovative technology of BNE and production procedure that utilized several crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high and lucrative biodiesel production.

BNE's personnel will increase to support this technology program. A senior chemical process expert will be brought on board to carry out mass and energy balance calculations and create the chemical process for advanced feedstocks.
