Once you are thru the reaction cycle all you have to do is move the batch to a settling tank and you can begin another batch in the reactor.
The total volume you can have in various stages will be limited by available room and the number of tanks you have that is a settling tank, a methanol recovery tank, a wash tank, etc.

I would recommend you consider methanol recovery and dry washing instead of the water wash methods found on most How To sites.
Methanol recovery saves money.
Dry wash gives a better quality product and reduces problems.
