4. Triacetyl glycerol is one the
derivative products of glycerol
that can be used as additives in
liquid fuels to minimize any
noise in the machine.
The use of triacetin as an
octane booster is considered
as lucrative since it comes from
the renewable and is an eco-
friendly available raw material.
The resulting glycerol-based
additives are much suitable for
biodiesel and gasoline
What is triacetin?

5. • Triacetin is obtained by esterification of acetic
anhydride with hot glycerol and purification by
vacuum distillation
• Triacetin is produced from a multi-stage reaction
sequence involving glycerine, acetic acid, and
acetic anhydride as raw materials. In the first
reaction, glycerine is esterified with acetic acid. In
this first stage, the conversion is to mono1 di-acetin.
• Water is also formed and is removed from the
reaction system by azeotropic distillation of the
acetic acid/water mixture during the reaction.
• In the second stage, the products from the first
reaction, namely mono1 di-acetin, are further
esterified in an exothermic reaction with acetic
anhydride.
• Triacetin and acetic acid are formed, the latter
returning to the reaction system to be used as the
reactant in the first reaction.

6. Piloting is often required
by investors for a process
that is not commercially
proven or that is to be
applied to a new
feedstock. The
overarching purpose is
mitigation of scaleup
risks.
A pilot plant is neither a
small-scale plant nor a
large laboratory. It is a
purpose-built
operation designed to
provide the required
information.
