ABSTRACT:
An ethanol distillation system that aims to increase the yield from an ethanol distillation process from 17 percent to a number approaching 100 percent through the use of a series of P-traps, condensers, heaters and coolers. A series of 4 P-traps are placed in-line in relation to one another, with exit lines exiting each P-trap. Each P-trap has its own pair of heating elements and a single distillation apparatus, with the distillation apparatus condensing evaporated alcohol into liquid form and placing it into the exit line so it can be collected. Any liquids left over after it has passed through the series of 4 P-traps and a cold condenser will enter into a return pipe to be reused by the yeast in this process.
