Dag Pieter It's not really a glycerin by-product, it's a "variable mixture of glycerine, soaps, excess methanol, and the catalyst (lye)": http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make2.html#howmuchglyc Make your own biodiesel So first you have to separate the mixture: http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_glycsep.html Separating glycerine/FFAs This will give you something like 95% pure glycerine, which is more saleable than the raw by-product, but still won't fetch much. For purer than that, you need this: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel_supply.html#glycpure Glycerine purification Hope this helps. Best Keith ------------------------ Yahoo!
