    I am afraid that it has no commercial value, so you may need to get a waste disposal company to quote on its removal,

      i have someone looking at seeing if it can be used in FoGo processing to make compost.

      Will it be accepted, or not?

      I will be reporting back when I have the answer / further info needed.

        I have found it effective as a dust suppressant even at 20% with water and watered on. It was useful to use on fresh laid crushed stone as a lubricant and dust suppressant when I was using a plate compactor. It 'may' be of some interest to a country golf club with sand greens and this is something I will be exploring in my local community. Currently their use their used canola oil, so my proposal is to take that for a better purpose and give them double the volume of Glycerol to settle their sand greens.

          Tim, How did your approach to the Golf Club in relation to glycerol stabilisation of their sand bunkers go?

            Pure glycerine can be reacted with acetic acid or acetic anhydride and strong acid catalyst , to make glyceryl triacetate , which has uses , ie commercial value . I've done it once .
