Hello everyone, So I'm thinking about turning my lm nixon into a lm/vm still. My question is does the design in the awesome paint drawing I made work? Will it give me a better separation between the heart and faints? If I understand correctly you can fine tune the RR way better with a vm than with a...

You can't control a still by temperature, it just doesn't work.

I'm not

...and the arduino control: If I understand right, you want control the heating element with the temperature measurements. But such a still isn't controled by the heating input, it is controled by the valve. You would need a motorized valve. The only thing the arduino does is controlling the energy...

- perhaps the lack of copper will cause problems. - an insulation would safe much energy. But honestly I think the boiler size, wattage and column diameter combination will force you to rebuild soon. More column diameter and more wattage. Or a smaller boiler. The column is already insulated but it ...

Hello everyone,

I resized the pictures to the allowed HD size. The dimension is completely wrong on the rig picture

If you are looking for assistance from HD, it would help if you posted the pictures using the HD posting

I was already active on the dutch board so yeah I've heard of him

No idea it's not finished yet

The still is never unmanned, never! I took 3,5 kW pure for the heating up part. And I used such a volume so I can do runs with 30-100 liters

Hello everyone, I just said hello in the welcome thread and I promised to show you my new rig. It's a little above the 30 gallon maybe 32 hopefully it's not a problem. The fluids are heated with 3500 watt threaded heater and the column is 55 mm in diameter with a height of 1 meter with SPP packing. ...

Hello my fellow shiners. My name is Jorrit and I'm a student in chemical engineering in the Netherlands. Due to my study I developed and intrest in distilling especially in the art of ethanol water separation. In a few minutes I will show you my new ''rig'' and you can ask question and I shall answe...
