The main byproduct is glycerin, which can be refined and sold for use in soaps, cosmetics, or industrial applications. Additional byproducts include methanol-water mix, which can be recovered and reused, and peanut meal from oil extraction, usable as livestock feed or fertilizer. The GlobeCore USB plant supports methanol recovery and ensures easy glycerin separation, helping maximize the profitability and sustainability of biodiesel production.
