sorry spoke to soon …
sorry spoke to soon i just saw you comment on the closed loop system… but i have seen people simply distilling the glycerol to reclaim the alcohol

have you looked …
have you looked into reclaiming the methanol from the glycerol in a reflux still?
this could also be performed for the ethanol (you could even make your own and using a vacuum still you could even get to the 100% ABV you need quite easily as a vacuum still is quite easy to build) and what are you using the glycerol for?
as you could also burn it to run the still and as its made from biodegradable sources its part of the carbon cycle..
A1 but reclamation of waste would be even better
