'Mini-Refinery' Automated Machines

Computer-controlled with a 15” touch screen LCD monitor, all valves, pumps, and sub-systems are controlled by the software program, or the touch of a finger on the screen. Users can produce high-quality Ethanol from this highly integrated system. With it's user-friendly computer interface, affordable price, and a compact footprint, this system easily fits the bill in almost any environment. Whether a farm or ranch operation, corporate fleet, or government or municipality, the mini-refinery is the right choice.

The mini-refinery includes stainless steel tanks and also comes with controls and ports that control external tanks and sub-systems. The computer includes built-in networking for both Ethernet and wireless 802.11. The system can be remotely controlled through the network, and multiple systems can be connected together to scale daily output capacity.
