The Processes Behind Producing High-Quality Glycerin

April 4, 2025

From Raw Materials to Purity

At Quantum Products, we are dedicated to producing high-quality glycerin through a refined, efficient, and environmentally responsible process. Glycerin, a versatile by-product derived from plant oils and fats, has a wide range of applications, from pharmaceuticals to food, cosmetics, and industrial products. The process of producing glycerin begins with carefully selected raw materials and continues with a series of steps designed to ensure purity and consistency.

Our facility in Liberty, Texas, is equipped with state-of-the-art technology to process glycerin efficiently and sustainably. Here’s an overview of the processes we use to produce top-tier glycerin:


1. Raw Material Selection

The first step in the glycerin production process is selecting high-quality raw materials. Glycerin can be produced from a variety of plant oils, such as soybean oil, palm oil, and other plant-based fats. We source only the best materials to ensure that the final product meets the highest quality standards.


2. Refining and Distillation

Once the raw materials are selected, they undergo a refining process to remove impurities. This step is crucial to ensure that the glycerin is of the highest purity. The refining process includes neutralizing any free fatty acids and removing any unwanted compounds, such as pigments and odors.


Next, the refined oils are subjected to distillation. Distillation is a key step in producing glycerin of pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic-grade quality. The glycerin is separated from other components through careful temperature control, which allows for the extraction of pure, concentrated glycerin.


3. Purification and Separation

After distillation, the glycerin undergoes further purification to remove any remaining contaminants. This step ensures that the glycerin produced is of the highest purity, suitable for use in various applications. For pharmaceutical and food-grade glycerin, this purification process is critical to meet strict industry standards.


4. Final Testing and Quality Control

Before being packaged and shipped, each batch of glycerin is subjected to thorough testing to ensure it meets our high-quality standards. We perform a series of tests to check for purity, viscosity, and other key properties. This testing guarantees that our glycerin is consistent, safe, and effective for use in a wide range of industries.


5. Packaging and Distribution

Once the glycerin passes quality control, it’s ready for packaging and distribution. We offer glycerin in various quantities, from small-scale shipments to large bulk orders, ensuring flexibility to meet our customers’ needs. With excellent logistics and transportation access at our facility, we can deliver products efficiently throughout the United States.
