Generally, crude glycerine is being used for biogas production; however, Argent’s advanced refining process upcycles it, making it suitable for a wide range of chemical applications. This provides the chemical sector with a renewable, technical-grade glycerine product that offers clear environmental benefits over conventional alternatives.
WHAT IS GLYCERINE?
Glycerine, also known as glycerol, is generated as a valuable by-product of the biodiesel production process. Argent has the capability to upgrade this crude glycerine to a high-quality, technical-grade product, making it suitable for a wide range of chemical applications and able to displace fossil fuel-derived feedstocks for products such as monopropylene glycol.

Why consider bio-based glycerine?
high purity and quality:
The product undergoes state-of-the-art distillation and polishing processes, ensuring a high purity level of 99.7%. With dedicated tanks, pipelines, and loading bays, Argent’s new glycerine facility guarantees the product is pure and free from cross-contamination.
SUSTAINABILITY BENEFITS:
Choosing bio-based, technical-grade glycerine promotes the replacement of fossil fuel-derived feedstocks, helping the sector advance sustainable industrial practices.
Renewable and traceable
The glycerine is produced as a by-product of the waste-based biodiesel process. Argent Energy is fully certified through the International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC), ensuring that all materials and products are verified and fully traceable.
end point:
Explore the unique glycerine refining process in Europe, featuring an additional step that sets it apart. This innovative approach allows the use of category 3 feedstock while fully complying with regulatory standards, free from the constraints of the Animal By-Products Regulation.
applications
This refined glycerine can be used to produce ethylene glycol or propylene glycol, which act as anti-freezing agents. It can also be used as a plasticizer agent in the production of polymers such as plastics and foams. Argent’s refined glycerine is suitable for the production of epichlorohydrin, a key component in the creation of epoxy resins, among many other applications.
