CHOOSING A DISTILLATION UNIT TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS
The following factors will play a roll in determining the best unit for your specific requirements:

•
Portable (service many farms)
•
Installation, standard off-the-shelf, cartridge system or mobile pots.
•
Distance from material and projected volume.

Site constraints (Roof height, water, electricity and personal preferences.)
Please contact us to calculate machine size suitable for your specific requirements.
