-40°C operation
Rapid purpose-built hot-to-cold chilling from room temperature to -40°C
Direct Refrigerant Ethanol Chilling
Perma Cool BLAST™ Ethanol Pre-Chiller Series
The Perma Cool BLAST™ Ethanol Pre-Chiller Series is purpose-built for ethanol extraction labs that need fast, on-demand direct chilling from room temperature to -40°C. Engineered as a true BLAST chiller from the condensing through the process side, it helps processors increase throughput, reduce LN2 dependency, and optimize their extraction workflow.

Designed for fast chilling cycles in commercial production environments.
PLC + HMI control
On-screen monitoring, compressor protection, and clearer system visibility.
HVAC condenser integration
Efficient direct chilling architecture built to reduce operational overhead.
Why BLAST™ changes extraction flow
Operations: keep production moving
The Perma Cool BLAST™ Ethanol Pre-Chiller Series is engineered for processors who need more than cold ethanol — they need cold ethanol on demand, fast enough to keep centrifuges spinning and production moving. From room-temperature pull-down to repeat low-temperature re-chills, BLAST™ systems are built to reduce cooling lag, improve process consistency, and help extraction labs increase throughput with dramatically less overhead.
Yield impact: drive more value per run
Built to feed multiple centrifuges, the BLAST™ series helps processors re-chill and re-run ethanol at temperature while achieving biomass-to-ethanol ratios up to 3:1. The result is a more saturated ethanol solution moving downstream, with the potential to recover up to 3x more crude for every gallon of ethanol evaporated and recovered.

Frequently asked questions
What temperature range do Perma Cool™ ethanol chillers target?
Typical process targets include operation down to approximately -40°C depending on system configuration and facility conditions.
Why choose direct refrigerant chilling over LN2?
Direct refrigerant systems can lower recurring consumable costs while delivering stable, repeatable process cooling for extraction lines.
How quickly can this be deployed?
Lead times vary by configuration; we align scope early to reduce procurement friction and commissioning surprises.
