ST. LOUIS, Mo. – A group of chemical engineers from the University of Missouri has received the 2006 Glycerine Innovation Award from The Soap and Detergent Association (SDA) and the National Biodiesel Board (NBB). Dr. Galen Suppes, an associate professor at the University’s College of Engineering in Columbia, and his research team were honored at the 97th Annual Meeting of the American Oil Chemists’ Society (AOCS) in St. Louis last night. The award recognizes outstanding achievement for research into new applications for glycerine with particular emphasis on commercial viability. The fourth annual award, consisting of a $5,000 honorarium and a plaque, was presented at a dinner meeting of the AOCS Industrial Oil Products Division. Dr. Suppes’ research team included Dr. Mohan Dasari, Chuang-Wei Chiu, and Dr. William R. Sutterlin. They received the Innovation Award for their research into technologies that convert natural glycerine, derived from conventional biodiesel production, into propylene glycol that can be used to make antifreeze and other products. This is important to the biodiesel industry because glycerin is ten percent of what is produced in biodiesel production. With low glycerin prices, new uses are needed to add value, and to open up new markets for this byproduct of biodiesel production. “Higher value glycerin uses would help both the new biodiesel businesses – who are looking at the economics associated with glycerine - and the existing oleochemical businesses who produce glycerine for detergents and soaps,” said Steve Howell, Technical Director of NBB. “That’s why research like that of Dr. Suppes and his team is so important. We’re very pleased to be working with SDA on this award, to help honor them.” The propylene glycol developed from the research is a bio-based, non-toxic and renewable alternative to petroleum-based propylene and ethylene glycols. The product, currently licensed Page 2 for commercialization, has the capability to meet additional market growth demands of propylene glycol, which is about 150 million pounds per year, globally. Dr. Suppes gave the award address during the AOCS meeting, held April 30-May 3, entitled “Improved Process for Converting Glycerine to Propylene Glycol.” This year marks the first time the Glycerine Innovation Award was sponsored jointly by SDA and NBB. Past winners of the award can be viewed online at www.cleaning101.com/oleo. # # # The Soap and Detergent Association, www.cleaning101.com, the Home of the U.S. Cleaning Product and Oleochemical IndustriesSM, is the non-profit trade association representing manufacturers of household, industrial, and institutional cleaning products; their ingredients and finished packaging; and oleochemical producers. SDA members produce more than 90 percent of the cleaning products marketed in the U.S. The NBB, www.biodiesel.org, is the national non-profit coordinating and research organization of the biodiesel industry, which has tripled in the last year. Biodiesel can be made from any vegetable oils or fats, and used pure or blended with petroleum diesel, in any diesel engine with few or no modifications. The cleaner burning fuel is available at more than 700 retail filling stations and from more than 1,500 petroleum distributors nationwide.

Sustainable Use of Glycerine in Foams Honored With Glycerine Innovation Award
* Trio of Pittsburg, Kan. Researchers Honored at AOCS Annual Meeting
* Annual Award Sponsored by Soap and Detergent Association, National Biodiesel Board
WASHINGTON, D.C. – May 4, 2009 – Three researchers from Pittsburg State University in Kansas are the recipients of the 2009 Glycerine Innovation Award, sponsored by The Soap and Detergent Association (SDA) and the National Biodiesel Board.
Pittsburg researchers Zoran Petrovic, Ivan Javni and Mihail Ionescu were honored for their research that developed a new family of glycerine-based polyols – a series of organic molecules – suitable for use in rigid polyurethane foams.
These foams in turn are used in thermal insulation (refrigeration industry and construction), packaging, transportation, adhesives, sealants, and coatings. Total volume of polyols for these applications is measured in millions of tons.
The SDA/NBB Glycerine Innovation Award recognizes outstanding achievement for research into new applications for glycerine, with particular emphasis on commercial viability.
The award was presented at the 100th Annual Meeting of the American Oil Chemists' Society in Orlando, Florida. Recipients received a commemorative plaque and a $5,000 honorarium.
The Glycerine Innovation Award is presented annually by AOCS' Industrial Oil Products Division. The deadline for nominations for the 2010 Award is November 1, 2009. For details, visit AOCS' website at http://www.aocs.org/member/awards/award.cfm?awd=glycerine.
