Laboratory Ethanol Fuel Systems

The laboratory system is equipped with our boiler which provides automatic temperature management to the 4" stainless steel distillation column, timed operation functions, as well as providing the boiler functions.

The unit includes a 10 gallon stainless steel beer staging tank, and a 30 gallon stainless steel ethanol collection tank. A 160 gallon stainless steel fermentation tank is an additional option.

The system also comes with a circulation pump with stainless pump housing for mixing and circulating the fermentation tank, as well as acting as a transfer pump for transferring fermented batches to or from user-supplied external tanks.

The laboratory system is also ideally suited as a training system for our much larger automated ethanol systems. It allows students to learn the processes involved, understand liquid handling systems, piping and valves, pump operation, fermentation, distillation, and overall process without the complexities of our larger commercial systems.
