Complete skid mounted 5 gallon per minute methanol recovery unit / flash evaporator.
The package includes the flash vessel, shell & tube heat exchanger, condenser, receivers, pumps, controls, instruments, control panel, valves, piping, steel support frame, and complete system documentation.
System was designed to remove up to 25% methanol and water from a 5 gpm crude glycerin stream but would be suitable for use in many other flash evaporation or solvent recovery applications.
The system was designed and constructed in 2013 and fully refurbished in 2020. The purchase price includes rigging and loading costs.
