Glycerin is a valuable by-product from the fatty acid and biodiesel value chains. Manufacturers are developing new technologies based on distillation technology to refine glycerin to pharmaceutical grade glycerin and ultra-high grades of pure glycerin. Pharmaceutical glycerin is widely used in medical, pharmaceutical and personal care products, while ultra-high pure glycerin is used as food and feed additives and for various intermediates such as propylene glycol, acrolein and epichlorohydrin.
