Re: Methanol recovery

>From all of us over in Co-products - a sigh of relief. Glad to hear it. The
more research we've been doing on methanol recovery, and methanol handling,
the more safety is rising to the top as our number one concern. It is
imperative that our gentoo processor either includes methanol recovery or is
so efficient in the reaction that there is no left-over methanol. We're
going to have enough on the table just safely dealing with our current
surplus of glycerin. Thanks for the update!
