I'm working with a guy using a 30-40% glycerine solution directly in his fire tube hot water boiler.

I have had to replace seals on the pumps due to grit in the system a number of times. I think the glycerine is burning on the tubes or there is some other type of reaction.

There is also CPVC and standard black pipe.

Any ideas???
