Hi Luc ; Thanks for your response. Yes those totes are available locally for around $50. They are quite convenient with their portability. I used one a few years ago in a small roadside motorcycle washing operation. I plan to include rainwater catching on all buildings. The problem is that i

Hello All, Thanks Keith, Dale, Todd, Luc for your responses. Searching the archives is a lot easier when you know the correct search word. Super critical methanol is a bit over the horizon for me. I guess my question was more along the lines of : Does anyone have any experience at 80 -150 deg

This leads me to my next question. I believe the reason we all use 55 degrees is because of the low boiling point of methanol. I spoke to a PhD in chemical engineering who indicated he had designed a quick and no wash process. He was clearly not going to give me any details on the process.
