You think thats bad? My wife used to work at a convience store, the cops were standing right next to the gas pumps talking to a guy that was putting gas in his car, the cop was talking on his cell phone (really bad idea next to a gas pump) using his police radio (another really stupid idea) and talking to a guy with a cigeratte in his hand while the pump was putting gas in his car, yep we have some intelligent ones working for the local police shop and when my wife went out and told them to step away from the pump the cop told her to mind her own business he was on offical police business.

Fabman, I was thinking about rigging mine to run though the pump and spill back to the heater during heat up, to get more agitation, and also so I could monitor or possibly control temperature on the pump discharge.

I have been reading up on all this stuff, has anyone put together a P&ID or flow diagram type of drawing? I'd be curious to see one.

Are y'all using a cyclone to eliminate the waiting step for phase separation?
How are y'all recovering the methanol, just a vapor line to a can, or do y'all run to a cooler coil first to condense?
Are y'all recovering methanol from the heating batch, or from the glycerol by product after a batch?
Hope I have not hijacked your thread here, just that my brain starts clicking as I read these posts.

No its all good. Just pull from the bottom and put in the top of your heating container. Cyclone is the heavy seperation instead of settling. Type more later must go wife says so.
