This is a really good forum,attractive more and more professional people

Congratulations!

In this situation, adjusting the return flow will not solve the problem nor will adjusting the heat input. This still was built by someone who does not know how to design stills. Due to the incorrect plumbing design, this column will always flood when someone attempts to use it correctly-- -----Hi Paul ,i agree with your this comments, but last time i dar not to say so,sometimes ,it hurts if you say the truth directly. This still was born with design problem, unless replace tower column,if do so,the experienced engineer must be in place to check and redesign which involve more cost.So the best way for owner is my way to use it.The money already paid, it would be painful not to use it. The second thing you mentioned, i did not know which company you were pointing to,so i will not comment this. About my company, i have confidence about our quality and design, and we did not get any design yet from any company yet.

Actually,I am also a supplier from China, not all supplier from China is not worthy trust.This system i can tell who produced it and their price is much lower .Back to year agao, if i and Your supplier quoted to you, you would still choose them because of price. Also not all chinese supplier not offer good after support, My factory will not let this happen. Also, i am not expecting to sell direct to End-user, i am expect to work with partner is USA.But i am glad to give you a hand on this.

Hi There The flooding problem can be solved by adjusting the return flow, but this will reduce the alcohol concentration. From the picture scale, the diameter of the tower column is obviously smaller, so the best solution is to control the flow of heating steam to generate less alcohol steam, but this will prolong the distillation time. The support and seal of the agitator are obviously too complex. I guess they use mechanical seals (the influence of temperature on the seal needs to be considered), but it is most appropriate to use packing seals here. You'd better provide a detailed photos of the seal.

Hi Willie,nice to meet you here
