Methanol Recovery
SRXC-Series - Single or Dual Column Designs
The SRXC-Series is a completely automated methanol recovery system for recovering methanol from crude glycerin produced in the biodiesel production process. The SRXC system is designed to remove water and other of contaminants from glycerin, and to recover clean, dry methanol with a purity exceeding 99.5%. The SRXC employs a specially designed fractionating column with a reflux stream is used to separate the materials in a continuous mode on a 24-hour basis for biodiesel plants producing from 500,000 to over 100 million gallons per year.
