If you're using it for dust control any residual methanol will evaporate and dissipate quickly. | |||

I agree with John. I've been known spread non-de-methed glycerol on a crushed rock road for dust and weed control at my ranch. Works great. Cheers, John | |||

put a little bit in a cap or on the ground and see if it lights with a lighter. ( Blue flame ) ( safer to use a long handled BBQ lighter ) We demeth batches of KOH glycerin that routinely yield 15% methanol ,and we run it up to over 200F for hours until it stops. [quote]I would like to compost this "spent" glyc or use it for dust suppression since I live out in the country and the last mile to my house dirt[quote] Since you live out in the country, you probably have a chain saw. Take the stuff that drops out of your fuel after de-meth ( we call it true soap ) and mix it with your demethed BDG 1/2 and 1/2 and use it as bar oil. Can't say for sure but I think the chains are lasting longer. Sure smells good when it gets hot. ![]() regards Tom 1999 K3500 Dually with a new AMG 6.5TD turned up a bit by John Kennedy Chevy DMax Totaled thanks to a 20 year old in a Mustang Mercedes 300CDT John Deere On B99.? | |||

That's fine as long as the temperature is above 50°F | |||

I left it in the truck bed the night before , it got down to 17 and it was in the 20's while in the woods. Yes it was thick but the chainsaw warms it right up. I don;t use Potassium , but from what you guys tell me, Probably would go with KOH BDG only. @ -17 where you live John ? regards to all Tom 1999 K3500 Dually with a new AMG 6.5TD turned up a bit by John Kennedy Chevy DMax Totaled thanks to a 20 year old in a Mustang Mercedes 300CDT John Deere On B99.? | |||

I'm composting byproduct. I have a unique situation that makes it convenient. I operate a waste water plant and we employ aerobic digesters, so I just pour raw byproduct into the digester, the violent aeration de-meths the byproduct quickly as well as incorporates it into the biosolids, which after de-watering is mixed with waste wood chips for composting. The byproduct gives me an additional carbon source to complement the wood chips. The woodchip/byproduct/bio-solids mixture generates enough heat to pasteurize the biosolids rendering it a useful fertilizer and soil conditioner. | |||
