Now that Aleks has turned up such good information on making biodiesel with ethanol (http://rredc.nrel.gov/biomass/doe/rbep/biodeg/one.html), the problem remains of how to dry the ethanol - it has to be pure. This is what we have so far. Anything to add? Keith Addison Journey to Forever

I agree here re scrubbers lacking thermal mass (heat capacity). Once option here, to maintain the delicate strata of temperatures in the column is to make sure that the outside of the column is well insulated. This way stray wind gusts won't suddenly cause it to cool down unexpectedly upset

I bet this noxious waste product could be co-fired in a diesel engine simply by mixing it with mineral diesel or biodiesel. This is easier than Steve's suggestion of pre-heating. Better check the filter pretty often though, and avoid breathing the fumes as a precaution against heavy metals.
