Glycerin Disposal
 

I have 50 gallons of glycerin I need to get rid of. If I lived on a farm or ranch, it would be easy. I live in the city so that's a problem. I stopped by the sewage treatment plant today and they were no help. Since they are not sure what it is they said "no". I know, I could probably dump a little at a time down the drain and no one would know but I don't want to take the chance of getting caught. Anyone have any suggestions? The methanol has been removed from it.
Thanks Tom

If I remember right Tom you're using KOH? If you are, you've got some great fertilizer in that drum! I've mixed it 50-50 with hot water and sprayed it on my alfalfa fields with great results. If you know any gardeners that use a compost pile give it to them. It promotes bacteria growth and cuts the time required for composting. You can also use it to make a very good liquid soap!

if you are in WI we will take it. If its from koh you could also make some nice liquid soap and degreaser.

Thanks for the suggestions. I DO use KOH ,

I use a good bit in a compost pile, but we have 6 horses, so that part is easy. You do have to dilute it with water to get it to really soak in.

I have also disposed of it by using it to burn brush piles. I throw it on a really hot fire and get away so I do not inhale the smoke.

If you contact anyone in the concrete business, they can use it to coat their forms so the concrete won't stick.

If you pm me I have the soap making fomula. KOH makes a liquid soap and I bet you could sell most of it (or give it away if so inclined) to mechanics. I do know that the pure demethed glycerin makes a fantastic hand cleaner. If you haven't tried it, you should.

I'd like to find someone around N Ft Worth with a little extra glycerin to give away.
