Glycerine distillation
Depending on the applications, different glycerine qualities are required. From technical grade through pharmaceutical grade and up to kosher grade, the purification process is a key factor in ensuring the required quality.
KVT has developed and successfully established a process to refine glycerine using raw glycerine from biodiesel production.
The glycerine purification is based on the following steps:
- Neutralisation and drying
- Methanol rectification
- Distillation, rectification
- Mong desalination
The resulting pharmaceutical/kosher grade glycerine is of excellent quality and has a biogenic content of 99.7%. The process can be adjusted for different raw glycerine qualities coming from different industries. This allows for production of different glycerine grades for different applications.
Key Advantages:
- Production of pure pharmaceutical glycerine from sustainable raw materials with a biogenic content of 99.7%
- Minimum final by-products with the Mong desalination unit
- Continuous and independent supply of raw materials as raw glycerine is available worldwide year round
