<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Tonya,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Here, at the Canadian Museum of Nature, we have been using a plumbed EtOH ( 95% and waste) system for nearly 24 years with great success. I do not have all the technical details and specs but I suspect our Facility
Manager (Martin Leclerc), and possibly our conservators (Carolyn Leckie and Luci Cipera, should be able to provide you the details (all in cc).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">From the point of view of the user, working in a fairly large research & collections facility, it has been a great improvement from the old approach of transporting 210 L drums or transferring in intermediate
containers on wheels with hand-cranked pumps.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Both our systems (fresh EtOH and waster fluids) are based on
<a href="https://vevor.ca/products/vevor-double-diaphragm-pump-air-operated-diaphragm-pump-30-64gpm-1-2inch-outlet?gclid=CjwKCAjwxuuCBhATEiwAIIIz0QDuVZOb9DeuhPatL2lLbzZ-zrih-n8ywtZH__OOzEDDh8Fivl8npBoCD6UQAvD_BwE">
diaphragm pumps</a> ran by compressed air and a system of fluid level detection in all drums, with a backup full drum for the fresh EtOH and a backup empty drum for the waste fluids.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Again, there are a lot more details that can be made available.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">And like any systems, there are some challenges. With this one, the durability of the pump can be an issue but they are relatively inexpensive, so you should keep a backup or two on hand.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The setup of the level detection system is very critical if you want to avoid leaks and other issues. After a few early hiccups, our system has not been reliable for at least 20 years.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">One big issue we had to address was the installation of alcohol flowmeter to quantify the use of EtOH (a legal/auditing requirement). After some trials and tribulations, our solution was achieved with a custom-made
system that, unfortunately, has some important limitations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I hope this helps a bit. I’ll be happy to follow-up if you have specific questions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
