The Still is used to convert Biomass into Biofuel . It needs to be powered by a BuildCraft compatible engine. Each bucket of Biomass produces 0.3 bucket of Ethanol at a cost of about 2600 MJ.
Since biomass produces 50,000 MJ per bucket in a Biogas Engine and biofuel produces 200,000 MJ in a Combustion Engine, the biofuel produced this way has 10,000 MJ more energy in it than the biomass it came from, for a profit of 7,400 MJ. Combined with the higher energy density and slower burn rate of Biofuel, which can make it easier to pipe large amounts of it around, this makes the Still a nice addition to a bio-based generator setup.
However, since the still works much slower than a Fermenter that produces biomass, more than one still may be required per fermenter to keep the stills from becoming a bottleneck.
The Biomass as well as the Biofuel can be transported through buckets, cans, capsules, Waterproof Pipes or Liquiducts. Note that putting cans of biomass in the input of a still destroys the cans.

This video shows how to make biofuel with the fermenter and the still. This tutorial will also shows how to use the tree farm to set up an Unlimited Power supply either producing EU or MJ for your world.
This video shows how to assemble the still, and use it to convert Biomass into Biofuel.
Here is a factory setup for producing Biofuel using fermenters and stills:
