Complete 10 GPM Methanol / Ethanol Distillation Column
The package includes the distillation column, shell and tube feed heater, shell and tube reboiler, condenser, distillate receiver / reflux drum, pumps, control valves, instruments, control panel, valves, piping, steel structure, catwalks, ladders, platforms, and complete system documentation. System was designed to distill a 10 gpm methanol stream but would be suitable for use with ethanol, IPA, solvent, many other distillation applications. The system has been disassembled, reconditioned, sandblasted, painted, and is ready for immediate shipment. Support structure was designed and built to accommodate a second distillation column which would allow the buyer to increase production capacity or process a second product stream with little additional capital investment. Purchase price includes rigging cost to load.
