Refined glycerine in the context of palm oil is the glycerin derived from the process of refining crude glycerin, which is a by-product of the production process of biodiesel or soap from palm oil. This purification process results in high quality glycerin with a purity of 99.7% or more, which makes it ready for use in various industries.<\/p>\n

The refined glycerin is produced through several stages of process:<\/p>\n

    During the production process of biodiesel from palm oil, triglycerides in the oil are cracked through the process of transesterification. This process produces methyl ester (biodiesel) \u00a0and crude glycerin.<\/p>\n

      The resulted crude glycerin contains water, methanol, and a variety of impurities. To change it into refined glycerin, the crude glycerin has to be distilled and purified through several stages, including:<\/p>\n
