The patented process is based on award-winning research conducted by Dr. William Sutterlin in cooperation with the Missouri Soybean Merchandising Council with partial funding provided by Missouri soybean farmers and their checkoff.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After more than ten years of conducting demonstrations, building pilot facilities, and fine-tuning our technology, we are very excited to be commercializing our process,&#8221; said Joe McGrail, CEO of Ayas Renewables, Inc. &#8220;We are currently discussing long term glycerin supply contracts with a number of biodiesel and oleochemical producers in the USA, South America and Asia and planning to source at least 200,000,000 lbs.\/year of additional crude glycerin.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Increased biodiesel production has created a surplus of glycerin, a byproduct of processing. The Ayas conversion technology efficiently transforms this glycerin into extremely pure (99.9%) high-value bio-renewable propylene glycol with minimal waste and at lowest cost. The Ayas produced propylene glycol is the same molecule that&#8217;s traditionally produced from petroleum, but with the added benefit of being green and bio-renewable without increasing cost.<\/p>\n<p>Propylene glycol is one of the world&#8217;s most versatile and widely used chemicals, found in food, pharmaceuticals, paints, cosmetics and de-icing fluids. In 2016, the global market was valued at USD $3.47 billion; it&#8217;s estimated to reach $4.6 billion by 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Ayas Renewables is a process technology company, focused on developing and commercializing novel low-cost methods for converting low-value glycerin into high-value chemicals that have established markets. The company, which controls over 38 global patents, is based in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Facility To Showcase US Presidential Green Chemistry Award-Winning Process That Provides 99.9% Pure, Bio-Renewable Propylene Glycol At Competitive Price<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":58,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","nova_meta_subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5572],"tags":[5714,14688],"supplier":[15972],"class_list":["post-65233","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bio-based","tag-biofuels","tag-renewables","supplier-ayas-renewables"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65233","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/58"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65233"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65233\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65233"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65233"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65233"},{"taxonomy":"supplier","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/supplier?post=65233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
