The biodiesel industry generates a tremendous amount of crude glycerol. The crude glycerol that is produced as a by-product in the transesterification reaction to make biodiesel typically contains high levels of salts. Most applications for glycerol require the elimination of these salts.
Conventional methods for glycerol purification are challenged with high operating costs.
By applying the latest advances in chromatography and polymeric separation technologies, Rohm and Haas and Novasep Process have developed an innovative, cost-effective solution for the purification of crude glycerol with high salt content. This AMBERSEP™ BD50 process ensures that the purification system is tuned to meet the quality specifications. The system maximizes the recycling of all process water and minimizes energy.
