Glycerin

Glycerin is the trivial name of the compound 1,2,3-propanetriol, also known as 1,2,3-trioxypropane (HOCH2CH(OH)-CH2OH), which is a tri-valent aliphatic alcohol. Another well-known name for the same substance is glycerol which is used to illustrate the alcoholic character of glycerin (the –ol suffix is used in chemistry to indicate the presence of alcohol).

Glycerin is obtained as a result of the hydrolysis of natural fats and oils. For the first time it was received by Carl Scheele in 1779 during the saponification of fats.

Glycerin is used in the food (additive E422), tobacco, medical, textile, paper and leather industries and may also be used in the production of varnish and paint, washing and cosmetic preparations.

The technology for the production of biodiesel without the use of water allows to obtain raw glycerin of high quality (basic substance > 90%). Our company offers the following types of glycerin – raw and technical. An installation for the production of pharmacological quality glycerin is under construction. The annual capacity of the installation will be 6 000 t/y of raw glycerin. The delivery conditions will be EXW. It is possible to perform expedition through road and railroad transport. The quantity of each batch may vary from 20 to 1 800 tons.
