A guide to making your own membrane skid for not very much money

How does the PES handle the terpenes in cannabis?

I had issues with PES membranes breaking from benzyl alcohol concentrations as low as 1% in solution. From my experience solvent compatibility was poor with PES i guess I’m curious if you’re experiencing that here.

I became a meth addict reading this thread.

Best thing I’ve read in literally days!

To those versed in membrane tech
For a butane skid I am having issues with the pump pulsing so my thought is
This reactor as feed tank Wich has a working pressure of 47 bar
So it can Easily be pressurized to 20 bar membrane working pressure and feed the skid
What’s your idea ?
Is this gona work kinda pricy to yust try :blush:

looks like a good solution to “pump” with and keep the membranes submerged in liquid.

Yes I have a corken liquid pump at the moment but it occilates a lot in pressure 60 psi difrance
Letting the membranes not function well
So this might be a batch production option and a lot easier to get certified

Does anyone know the model of CAT pump that is being used for the membranes?

I don’t use CAT pumps myself but I use Hydracell D10EKSGHFEHA for 2540s.

Looking for getting a nanofiltration skid, but there is no manufacturer in my country how are making for processing Mj. There are manufacturers making nanofiltration skids for water processing.

If I get a skid with flameproof pump, flameproof panel and all parts and housing made of SS316L from the local skid manufacturer and fit a OSN membrane, will I be able to use it for dewaxing, decolorisation and ethanol recovery.

Also, please share a list of membrane manufacturers with exact model that will be suitable for the job.

Technically yes, but you will learn that each of the processes you are trying to do may require very different operational parameters.

There are some parts that you haven’t listed that are - in my mind at least - rather important on a production system if you care about throughput and product quality.

Mann+Hummel, Evonik, Synder, and any number of other manufacturers have membranes that can do some or all that you require.

Thank you @Lincoln20XX for responding.

Can you please elaborate some more on this?

I will be receiving the proposal for the skid of 1000 litre per hour throughput capacity by Friday. Once I get the details, I will be able to tell what’s included.

Can I ask you to become a supplier for membranes and ship to India? Just a thought.

Can someone please help me figure out these…

What is the complete process from biomass to vape using membrane filtration as a part of the process?

What are the machines used for every process?

This is an extremely in depth question and will likely require you to retain the help of a paid consultant for their time. The clues are all around this site but if you want someone to lay it out for you you’re likely going to have to compensate them for their time.

Well I will try to find all the clues utilising my time first.
Thank you for pointing it out!

I was just wondering, why it is necessary for membrane filtered oil to go through molecular distillation and not just rotary evaporator to fill carts?

Who told you that?

Which solvent system?!?

It sounds like you really do need the help of a consultant for safetys sake.

Ethanol extraction

Because that’s the way you isolate a compound with similar boiling points for purity.

One tool is a plier. The other is a tweezer. Which one can pick of smaller objects

It is not necessary if your system is designed and set up correctly.
