Glycerine "logs"

Reply Contact

I have been making BD for about two years but have been unable to perfect making any thing with glycerin that can be handled easily enough to burn in my wood stove, fire place or even acamp fire. Tried mixing with saw dust from feed store in card board mailing tube all I got was a mess. Spring will be here some day and need to find some thing to do with excess glycerine. Soap is not an answer. Makes great soap but what do you do with 10000 bars of soap?

We dump ours in a manure lagoon at a local dairy farm. Even with the methanol in it is fine for fertilizer when mixed with 1,000,000 gallons of manure.

Better yet would be to find a farm operating an anerobic digester.

Mix the Glycerin 50/50 with WVO, 60/40 with Bio, 70/30 with Petro (70% Glycerin) any Petro including Drain Oil, Tranny Fluid... Hold in heated tank 85 degrees and re-circulation pump (24/7) Flash "cocktail" temp. up to 160 degrees F (or better) at nozzle with forced draft Anything less, your burn is to cool and you are putting Noxious (Toxic?) gasses into the air and they may come back to haunt you!

Not an expert, not a chemist, just a repeater of what I have read… do your own homework.
I hope this helps.

Here is some information I found about making logs:

"By mixing this (glyserin by-product) with sawdust to make a dry paste, and filling used milk cartons with this mixture, the use of timber for fuel can be significantly reduced. A 1-litre milk carton (about 1 quart US) of this mixture will give off more heat than twice or three times that weight in firewood."

They used wood shavings, not sawdust. A 1-litre milk carton holds 450 gm of wood-shavings and 750 gm of glycerin by-product.
