Todd, do you think a thin film evaporator could be used to distill the glycerine? I just did some research of my own, and it looks like would have to keep the glycerine below the flash point (176C) which means you'd need a vacuum of about 15mmHg (that's a pretty strong vacuum I assume) Would

G'day Group I'm looking into the possibility of applying concentrated solar energy for Glycerine distillation and it would be useful to know figures on energy requirement. I don't know exactly what the parameters are but I imagine something like the amount of energy required to raise 1 litre
