Disposing of glycerin
#1
#3
There are several ways to dispose of the glycerol by-product. If you are using NaOH the glycerol makes an excellent weed killer. If you are using KOH the glycerol will make a great fertilizer. It can also be used as a dust suppressant for gravel or dirt roads. KOH based glycerol may also be used as a livestock supplement( after the MeOH is recovered). The glycerol can also be used as a heat source with the proper burner. I don't have any wash-water problem because I use Magnesol dry-wash.

FAB,
I saw in another post about the Magnesol wash, sounds like the way to go. What kind of processor do you suggest someone start with? I would like to do a 3 x 55 gal drum system so that I can process about 40 gals at a time back-to-back. I have considered buying plans from Murphysmachines.com - looks like a great system and plans look very detailed. He also offers plans for a super sucker to collect wvo from restaurants. How do you do things?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Another slick idea is on some other boards, called the GL1 wash method. The guy started distilling the processed bio to get all the meth out, this would then allow all the remaining catalist to fall out of the bio to the bottom of the drum. He recovers his meth and doesn't need to wash then. All you get is alittle bit of soap in the bottom of the drum. No water needed then.

As far as picking up my WVO, I have my restaurants put it back in the "cubies" they receive the new oil in. All my restaurants like this system because it removes the stinking barrels from behind their buildings. I "blend" all the oils I get together before using it.
Thanks for the help.
