Abstract
A glycerin recovery system uses a reboiler and a heat exchanging system. The reboiler heats crude glycerin to separate the crude glycerin into finished glycerin and condensates such that the finished glycerin is in a range of 80-98% purity. The heat exchanging system transfers heat energy in the finished glycerin to the crude glycerin.
