Hello Again

Hi Guys,

I haven't posted in a while, but i'm still reading the forum as much as possible. I've been doing a lot of research, but haven't been able to get my reflux still made yet. I'm not too sure which design I want to go for, the Bokakob, or another.

One that I've seen a few pictures of, but can't really find any plans as good as the boka, I believe is called an off-set head (I've seen a few different names for similar looking stills) and it has the packed column, then at the top it connects to another column with the condenser inside. I've done up a rough plan of how I 'think' they're done.

Are there any benefits to going this way rather than a boka? And where on the still would it be open to the atmosphere? And, lastly, would I be better off running only the take off from the angled plate, and a return from below that?

Hopefully I'm not rehashing anything that's been asked before, but I honestly couldn't find anything.

Regards,

Chris

Howdy,

boka=simplicity, dam slow but simple and good neutral spirits

offset= complexity, cost, slow, very much a 80's /90's soln.

If your happy to build an offset just do a plated column instead...same costs approx, faster, better results, modular for differing needs
