Blue Northern Energy is rejuvenating the biodiesel industry. BNE's objective is to produce a sustainable and successful biofuel production industry throughout the United States. BNE integrates the most current technology advances, refining processes and innovative minds to establish sustainable and rewarding biodiesel production facilities. BNE provides assistance and options to services and neighborhoods in their endeavors to establish new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing centers to make them sustainable and lucrative. Through its work and knowledge BNE, distinguishes itself as the leader in the renewable energy field.

Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has gotten a distinct innovation for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a continuous biodiesel production process by the trans-esterification of veggie oils. Multiple feedstocks might be used, enabling the least expensive cost feedstocks to be utilized. The ability to modify the process continually, as the feedstocks change by regulating the other reactants to the procedure rather than altering batch recipes, makes it a highly versatile and more efficient process. The procedure also enables a decrease in capital expense of up to 40% and a reduction in operating cost through lower energy expense of approximately 30%. These benefits of the innovation have been validated through a 3rd party assessment finished by the Center for Process Innovation.

The QSB technology has been extensively evaluated at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. from Europe in addition to the USA have been demonstrated, both individually along with blends.

Developing and improving the technology is a high concern for BNE, and basic to our international expansion plans. In order to support this, BNE will be establishing a new Innovation Center situated beside the very first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the ability to show future feedstock processing and perform substantial fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and experimental samples.

It is the administrator of the BN National Trail center from conceptualization, development, building and construction to management. This facility exemplifies the advanced technology of BNE and production process that utilized several crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and rewarding biodiesel production.

BNE's personnel will increase to support this technology program. A senior chemical procedure specialist will be brought on board to perform mass and energy balance calculations and develop the chemical procedure for innovative feedstocks.
