**Plant Purpose**
The Keokuk glycerin processing line was chosen with the goal of becoming the “go-to-guy” for raw glycerin coming out of the mid-south and the IL/MO/IA area. Processed glycerin can flow to local dairy farms as feed via truck and with access to rail via the KJRY railroad – coal mines in the East and West as an anti-freeze agent. The processed vegetable oils are being sold to nearby feed mills while the distilled methanol is sold back to nearby biodiesel plants to complete the recycling loop.
