SlickFloss Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Oh wowwwwwwwwwwww Whats the feed rate in GPM? Whats the footprint for column, controls, and doubler? What's your collection rate? What's your distillation efficiency? Fuck yeah. What a unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check with @Stumpy's he ran a similar unit for a few years. We considered one for awhile but the cash burn per week was beyond us at the time.

Bolverk Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Looks just like Adam's old rig https://youtu.be/eNff7gM8d1k?si=cF_txl7A-pxeBoSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stumpy's Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 That's the one! Aaron added some awesome equipment to the lot. Cooker, heat exchanger, and centri-sifter look awesome. Not going to lie....thought about buying it back but when I mentioned it to the war department (my wife 😜), I was met with a resounding "eff-you!" 🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't own one and haven't run one so take my shit with a grain of salt but I would say reasonably for operations sake no. You would be able to tune that doubler to a point and maybe utilize a take off to get there legally a time or two but its not designed for neuties as it stands IMO.... Theoretical plates (depghs, "brakes", RAP, Siporax, etc) are not all equal. A theoretical removal of a plate to save space in a still will ALWAYS impact its operational capacity. More and deeper trays run faster. Denser intelligently placed inefficiencies scrub reflux better. etc. etc. etc. This is the issue with the early HF systems, can't speak to the more modern ones. Beyond the cleaning issues, the loss of plates slows down the feed rate because the vapor stream has to do more work on each tray, meaning it is taxed more thermally. It would be incredibly easy to insert a steel column in place of these plates given the TCs, or possibly just pack those plates, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolverk Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 If you have the vertical space you could add a bunch of plates/packing above the doubler making it much taller and more capable of making a neutral. I read somewhere that SD recommends as least 10 plates for a neutral. Your mileage may vary depending on a lot of factors though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
