Video is from a customer’s lab I visited this week of our falling film’s intake of ethanol tincture after it has gone through the final 100 mesh inline filter. The sight glass is to verify the tincture’s clarity before evaporation, separating the tincture into clean ethanol and crude oil. This customer says they are achieving 340 liter / hour (90 gallons) using a 60kW water heater to drive primary evaporation (and a 14 ton chiller for cooling).

Is it one stage or dual stage? What is ethanol recovery rate?

That’s a lot of evaporation! It sounds like they need some membranes. We are recovering 115-165 GPH but only evaporate about 15. It’s so energy efficient that when we shut it down over the weekend, it is recovering 50 GPH in standby.
