Come build a processor out of a used electric water heater, as
well as a wash tank, a utility pump, and a methanol recovery
condensor

The designs, all of which require no welding or special
metalworking skills:
A `fumeless' enclosed processor which can be converted to a
methanol recovery still. Parts cost is $120-$150 for this unit
A standpipe wash tank built out of a drum. Parts cost: $30
A utility or mixing pump built out of a washing machine motor
and an automotive oil pump. Parts cost: $10
A couple of methanol recovery condensors- a counterflow heat
exchanger cooled by water, and a coil-type condensor coil built
with flare fittings. Parts cost: $20 or so.


Bring a pipe wrench if you have one.
