Thanks Keith,
Well I have a few thoughts on the burning...
I WAS hoping I could burn it in a Turk style (perhaps scaled up) burner, to
heat water for various process uses..but I am concerned with the emissions...
Another idea is to offload it to someone already in the pollution business
ok so this thread has drifted quite far from my original inquiry.
I was looking for specific, or even close estimates, of the acrolein
emissions from glycerol burning in an open flame boiler/burner unit..not
for its use as a motor fuel, or its combination with nitrogen.

Hello all,
I am considering the use of my glycerol coproduct as a burner fuel for
process heat generation (indirect via boiler).
My glycerol generated while running 20% methanol is of very low viscosity
(mostly likely due to the excess methanol), and seems quite usable. This
may be more
Any concerns to possible toxic emissions...as with the concern of some SVOers?
I have heard that some nasty toxins are produced by the burning of crude
glycerin..although I have no data on it.
Perhaps it is temperature (of combustion) related..and hence not an issue
with a gasifier?

The 40 gallon electric water heater held 26 of vacuum all afternoon.
Will post details of actual dewatering soon.

Biofuel at Journey to Forever:
considering a combined heat/vacuum system.
I have been wondering if a standard electric water heater vessel can handle
a vacuum of ~24 of mercury vacuum...anyone tried this yet?
The boiling point of water is around 140degF at ~24 of mercury...
In this way...:
1. Fill water heater with
Biodiesel filtration unit. It does have applications for both. The unit has
an internal electric heater that is thermostatically set to operate up to
110degF, in addition to in internal coolant loop. I have one of these units
on my converted 1994 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins and am very pleased
I have found that gravity will take most of the free water out in time.
Warming the oil to about 140degF speeds up the process. The use of a
centrifuge speeds it up even further (but can be costly unless you stumble
into a good deal on one).
I know some folks are using some vacuum setups

Lets hope that they are too blinded by their outlook on petroleum long
enough for the co-ops and local interests to take hold.
I think micro-scale will always be workable, and possibly have economic
advantages. In the US, there are some regulatory expenses that currently

So... I met him with 5 gallons of

Can anyone verify this?
To my knowledge..most folks out there have a final fuel filter made with
