Is it possible to use crude glycerin or refined glycerin without humidity?
It is possible to use crude glycerin. However the inorganic salts (biodiesel catalysts) must be removed. This is achieved by distillation, the proven technology for this, using standard off-the-shelf equipment. The heat required for distillation comes from the combined heat and power combustion of the glycerin, so it has no cost. What level of impurities concentration in glycerin is tolerable? The combustion is remarkably tolerant of water and organic impurities, but inorganic salts need to be controlled down to the limits for heavy fuel oil – this is simply achieved by distillation. Is your company already selling the diesel generator itself or it will just sell the technology? Aquafuel is a technology licencing company, but we do provide consultancy in the design and integration of CHP plants into client’s businesses. The technology uses standard diesel generators, standard waste heat boilers, and standard glycerin distillation kit. Aquafuel provides access to its patented technology
