Nope. The scale is so small that the only way to reuse chemicals would be to pretreat the WVO with the leftover glycrine+meth. But I still can«t separate methanol at small scale. Furthemore, I can«t distill glycerin to sell it (that represents a good income) because at the scale I«m talking of (330 lt/week) I can«t afford a vacuum distiller, evaporators or what have you.
