The discrepancy regarding some of the stated volume capability being lost relates to the use of ethanol diluted biomass, in that if we filled this unit to maximum capacity, the solvent would compromise the seal on the motor drive shaft.
Thus, the special request must be made to Peony (they are the manufacturers of this unit) to “raise” the fluid line … note the red line I have drawn here, and the arrow indicating it must be “raised” in order to prevent ethanol from submerging the seal and affecting the working capability of the unit.
Additionally, the PLCs and everything in the electronic box must be re-done to UL/CSA standards. We inquired with peony about receiving a wiring schematic as a base line reference and we were going to have an electrical contractor re-make everything using certified components, then get a third-party review sign off… Its a lot of work but it can be done.
