Glycerin is produced in the
production of biodiesel.
In addition, it is also obtained
by hydrolysis of fats and as one of the products of glucose fermentation.Glycerin can also be obtained
synthetically from propylene.
In ORLEN Południe, a high-class
purification plant produces a product of two purity grades: technical glycerin
and distilled glycerin.
The crude alkaline glycerin
obtained in the production of biodiesel (fatty acid methyl esters) is
neutralized with sulfuric acid and subjected to the process of separating free
fatty acids, potassium sulphate, unreacted methanol and water.
Technical glycerin is subjected
to rectification (under reduced pressure) and adsorption on active carbon in
order to purifing and obtaining distilled glycerin.
A high-quality rectification
plant allows us to obtain glycerin with a concentration of over 99.5%.
