The way I figured that is started with
55gal methanol = 11 batches at 25 gals per batch = 275 gal of BD. 40% of 55 is
22gal = 4 = 100 22 is
9 = 1 1/2 = 37 1/2 9 is
3.5 = 1/2 = 12 1/2 3 1/2 is
1.5 = 1/4 = 6 1/2
I didn't figure it exactly. just rounded up and down to make it easier but wanted to know if that is how the methanol recovery worked. can you continue to recover until you don't have enough methanol to work with or can you only recover once before you don't have pure enough methanol?
