sezione di raffinazione
The crude glycerine refining section has a production capacity of 10,000 tons/y.
- The crude glycerin is purified through a continuous succession of steps: addition of inorganic acid (transforms the soluble soaps in the glycerin into insoluble fatty acids, subsequently removed by decantation); evaporation of methanol and water; evaporation on a thin layer and subsequent distillation in a column for the production of technical glycerin; passage on carbon filters to purify it to the pharma-grade degree;
- Glycerin is a by-product of biodiesel processing (transesterification reaction) and can have multiple uses, including in the pharmaceutical/food field, depending on its degree of purity.
Lo stabilimento dispone di Impianto trattamento waste (TAS).
