I have just about finished my biodiesel reactor. I plan on doing methanol recovery with
a vacuum pump and condenser. I tested the system and the most reading I could get was
-3"/Hg. Will this be enough vacuum to pull the methanol vaper down through the condenser?
The vacuum pump is 1/2 Hp. Should I upgrade the pump?
The condenser consist of 1/2" copper pipe surrounded by 3/4" cold water pipe about 3.5' long.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
