    The product is cooled Jamie, not the reflux. The reflux is just the excess water that makes it through the cracking column drained back from the top of the cracking column.

    Jolly Saint Nick, it is cooled because it goes through a coil cooling the hot to cold...just like a radiator.

    By adding the Raschig rings to the available volume (4.8 L ) of the tower instead of marbles, we can increased the surface area collection by at least 25% from the inside of the rings alone, not to mention that all will leave much less dead space like spheres do...but enough to allow the gas to pass through

    How could we use it as coolant? It would be hot because its at the top of the cracking tower and will have just condensed from steam so it wouldn't be a very good coolant.

    We could make the fermenter out copper because copper has over four times the thermal conductivity of it's closest rival, stainless steel. It also has a good reputation for removing toxins because of it's natural acidic nature. So then it would be able to keep the mash warmer for a longer period of time

    Also nick, we would keep the heat down if the return line was used as coolant, like the reflux system in actual plants.

    We NEED to repack the Distillation Column with Raschig Rings! Check this out...
    Raschig rings are pieces of tube used in large numbers as a packed bed within columns for distillations and other chemical engineering processes. They are usually ceramic or metal and provide a large surface area within the volume of the column for interaction between liquid and gas or vapour.

    They form what is now known as random packing, and enabled Raschig to perform distillations of much greater efficiency than his competitors using fractional distillation columns with trays.

    They are ALSO NEUTRON ABSORBERS! Which should make the mixture safer!
