A practical handbook on the distillation of alcohol from farm products, including the processes of malting : mashing and mascerating : fermenting and distilling alcohol from grain, beets, potatoes, molasses, etc., with chapters of alcoholometry and the denaturing of alcohol ... . to the distilling building should be thestorage tanks and de-naturing department. Another arrangement of apparatus for a graindistillery with a capacity of 2500 bushels per dayis illustrated in Fig. 56. This plant was erected bythe Vulcan Copper Works Co., and includes sepa-rate stills for gin, alcohol, and rye whiskey, as wellas a spirit rectifying column. The milling and grain mixing departments,the yeast room and the fermenting room arearranged on the several floors of one building,in the basement of which is located the vacuumcooker and drop tub and coolers described onpage 11 from which the mash is pumped into thefermenting tubs. The second section of the building contains thedistilling apparatus, storage tanks, charcoal recti-fiers and spirit rectifying apparatus, while the third,section of the building comprises the boiler houseand engine room. In Fig. 57 is shown a view of a small plant forthe distillation of beets, the figure giving a good T^^^^Tr 200 DISTILLATION OF ALCOHOI,. DISTILLING PLANTS. 201 idea of the arrangement of the diffusion batteryin relation to the still and rectifier. The juicefrom the diffusion battery is pumped into theoverhead tanks from which it descends into adephlegmator and from thence into the still,the vapors from the still passing into the still is a direct, fire-heated still and adjacentto the still is a water heater from which the waterpasses to the hot water reservoir located aboveand to one side of the diffusion vats. A large plant for the distillation of beets isshown in the Section Fig. 58. The beets fromthe beet silos are carried to suitable washingmachines.
