Glycerol Disposal - Bio diesel by-product

[Formatted]

I've moved onto a new farm and there is 1,000 litres of Glycerol left over from when they make bio-diesel. None of the usual ports for waste disposal want to hear about it.

Anyone got rid of it before?

It's harmless stuff (assuming it's not contaminated). Could you not spray it out over some land?

Does glycerol not turbo-charge the bacteria in AD plants?

Highly frowned upon though, iirc.

Have you a local farm with a slurry pit?

Diluted down in slurry it wouldn't do any harm.

I think the main problem with using it in AD is that it is a waste product so needs the tickets. In small quantities it can go down the sewers without ill effect, so I would mix it in with the slurry.

it could be contaminated with methanol which will mean it will burn the grass
if you pour it in the slurry pit and leave it, the methanol will evaporate and then the remainder will be fine

or burn it
