I bought one in 2005.  I got the 2 1/2 gallon bench top unit.  I bought
a "last years" model for around $9,000.  In the time I have been using
it, I have saved more then the price of the machine in reagent,
disposal, and hazardous shipping costs.  I have been using the same
xylene for almost two years, and it works like it did the first day out
of the bottle.  My mixed alcohol usually comes back at 94 - 95%, and I
use it straight out of the recycle jug.

Also, CBG will do a cost comparison for you using your usage numbers.
They have been good to me...

If you have more questions you can call or email me...

Subject: [Histonet] CBG Biotech solvent recycler

Does anyone use the Biotech recycler for alcohols and xylene
substitutes?  Could you tell me what you think about them?  I have been
trying to talk the higher ups about getting a recycler but am tired of
jumping through hoops.
