@ChangMinXD how many liters/be are you achieving with ethanol recovery? Are you using a rotovap or FFE?
@Kingofthekush420 I’m looking to hit 100l/h or better of ethanol recovery.
The Xeno is a -10c 10 ton chiller. For the same money I can get the @CEMAINSTRUMENT 5000 chiller or cooling tower. I’m up in the air here
I got deals on 10hp poly chillers fam.
You’ll need 22 KW cooling atleast to hit 100 LPH, if I were you I’d look on ebay for a 5 ton + water chiller
I bet you can get one for under 5k off ebay
Might not be American made but it’ll get you started and won’t cost you tens of thousands of dollars
24kw cooling under 5k
Just something to consider, im sure XD and spdking will throw a fit lol
You can easily hit 100L/hr with the Xeno unit for recovering ethanol.
If you ever want to figure out for yourself how much heating / cooling power you need to evaporate a certain amount of alcohol use this calculator, it’s the shit and will make your life so easy
It provides 24kw at 5c.
Based on kush’s spreadsheet, the chiller will suffice for what you are doing 
That chiller is a rip off at 20k
Mta will sell you that same chiller for 5k less just saying 
And the MTA can go outside without needing to be “enclosed”
Something you should also look into is membrane technology for the majority of the solvent recovery, ffe are super inefficient and expensive to run.
I can recover 60 gph on 15 amps 220v with my solvent recovery skid
I cant fully recover all the ethanol though so I still have to finish the evaporation in a ffe/roto.
Even an ffe has to finish in a roto was always my understanding due to flow concerns?
Not if the FFE runs under vacuum
The Yellowstone couldn’t dry out my crude because it runs at atmosphere but a good ffe that runs under vac you should be able to even decarb in as long as the heater get that hot
Mine has a 12 kw heater on it that goes to 250c with a flow of 100L/M
Are you really suggesting you can process 100L/min with half the heating capacity you just told us you’d have to have?
The 100L/M is the flow of the heater silly
I was just pointing out thats over 26 gpm
I see XD selling Hubbell water heaters for 10k and it makes me laugh because I got this heater here with taxes and duties for 5k which is half the cost of that crappy water heater
I can winterize and do color removal with a different set of membranes
Watch this video on my IG

This is warm ethanol extract I winterized with membranes
A different size membrane would do solvent recovery
Do you have any people that bought your membrane tech and using it successfully that can chime in here?
I don’t think there’s anyone on here yet but I can put you in contact with past customers in the wine, extraction, food processing and even medical fields who use our skids for more then just the things I listed above and are more then satisfied with our product
My buddys been doing this 20+ years and builds the skids himself and his dad did it before him, we can make you a Ferrari with full PID or a batch skid all depends on your budget.
Go through my IG and you can see some of the crazy stuff we’re doing, membranes is just the tip of the iceberg
