Hi Des,
This is my idea for a recovery still, *keep in mind I have not actually
used it yet so it may not work but it might give you some ideas.*
I got some SS tubing 1/4" and bent it in a zig zag for about 2', took 4"
PVC and put a 1/4 hole in each end and a 3/4 NPT top and bottom on the
side.
So I guess I ought to rethink my design for a still to reclaim my
methanol from the glycerine byproduct. I've just filled a small drum,
and was thinking of getting into separating my methanol back. Thought I
had everything almost in place. Back to START...

Hello Bobby,
Copper coils are used for oxidation of methanol to formaldehyyde which itself will oxidise further. if you are selecting stainless steel ignore initial higher as it is the appropriate material to use and it will be more economical long term. Air conditioner cooling tubes made of copper
Kurt,
I've read that copper causes biodiesel to oxidize so the copper tubing is
probably out. The reason I looked this up is because i have considered using
a 50 gallon water heater as my processor, but the cheaper models have copper
heating elements. The higher end ones have stainless steel he

IIRC Copper can cause the wrong kind of catalyzing, promoting branching chains,

I am getting ready to build my first processor. It appears that everyone
uses black to plumb everything. I have read that galvanized can be used but
is not good. How about copper tubing? Will it stand up to the chemicals used
to process bio-diesel?
