two columns off single boiler
Posted: Tue May 05, 2020 9:33 am
Hi. first question here since joining. Sorry I couldn't find any pages on this topic after searching a long time. I apologize if already somewhere else.
i have two ss packed reflux columns and plan to run both of them off of the same boiler. to make as much neutral as fast as possible. cut down on time per run.
I have a 2 inch by 19 inch boka reflux still. liquid management. Triclamps, 24 in SS extentions times 3.
What i mean is I have a boiler with a 2 elements inside it which can be switched out and have any amount of wattage required that is runs to what I built to control power input via SSR relay etc electrical equipment and I can build up to 60 inches high the 2 inch column before the take off and internal condenser at the top.
in the mail i have coming a "U" shaped tri piece. the 2" attaches via triclamp to the big keg. the 2" goes up and curves, separating into two different 2" ferrule columns. I will then be able to attach two separate columns approx 8 inches apart heading straight up. the reason?
I want to be able to make more neutral at a time. the drip rate is pretty slow in order to get 94% purity so i want to double everything to get it all done faster.
I have the cooling water recirculating via an aquarium pump sitting in a 20 litre steel pot. there are 3 pots. when one warms up I move the pump into the other pot. the water first goes through 25 feet of copper coiled in front of a fan and then empties back into the pot with the pump. no ice, no snow, no extra water. around 15 gallons water all together reused over and over. it can go for hours. room temp around 65F.
So i'm interested in your questions and feedback.
thank you.
