There’s a guy that has gotten it to work, where it put CRX on the bottom of his column, then packed flower on top, and then ran it like that. I can’t tell you ratios or anything else cause I only saw the end product.
You can only use CRX or CRY once. It’s a pump and dumper operation - speed and ease of use is our game.
Fickle Pickle did a great job on this thread detailing ratios: Free Color Remediation Media Sample - #79 by FicklePickle
You can read through to the results too.
Thanks for all the help and your hard work!
Quick question: Would you recommend using your W1 in a CRC column, (with throttling) or to simply put the W1 at the bottom of the material column?
Ive heard ppl using both methods. I believe @J12 loads it at the bottom of the material column and freezes the whole thing. I load it in a crc. Throttling definitely plays a role as well. Ive noticed some bands of color wont really move through unless you put enough psi behind it when using powders. Running at lower psi definitely helps the color wether using powder or granular adsorbents. Powders have more of a chromatography effect while granular has more of an adsorbent effect due to greater surface area which is why it needs to be throttled for it to do its thing. Im sure thats why i get better color remediation when i blend granular and powder form adsorbents and throttle it as well in a crc.
When @TwistedStill and myself ran the ultra clear it slowed flow down to a crawl. I was hitting it with 70-80psi and could not get that shit to flow.
What am I missing?
My flow was always pretty slow with the 3" tampon tek for my CRC. I’m upgrading to a 6" tampon CRC for heavy flow…
I load b80 first under vacuum and add the ultra clear on top of the B80 as opposed to mixing the two.
Could be a few different things. I doubt any granular media will have bad flow.
I’ve surprisingly have had zero flow issues with the tampons. I only need 30psi to go through my 1.5 crc stack and I have to close my valves some or I get almost no residence time
For both b80 and w1.
I’m even running a .5 sintered disc under everything too.
I’m a filthy whore though. I rock the same rag for about 30 lbs and then change it out. I run a full 3x12 of powder loaded under vacuum, and assumed that was my flow problem.
I would absolutely agree with you any other time, but I ran it in a 6” crc stack with b80 below.
I’ll have to give it another try.
It could be the nitro is passing by faster than the liquid solution causing positive pressure build up on the recovery side which could slow the flow down
I could see that happening, but my collection was at 0 and the crc was at 70-80psi
w1 worked great
loved the terp retention and live resin look off stuff that usually dont
W1 or bust
When’s the last time you cleaned your sintered disc in an ultrasonic?
gonna try w3…
then that other company 2 mixes soon
I always do cold inline fast past so itll be interesting to see the difference in each
It only happened with the ultra clear. Since then I’ve used b80 and w1 without any slow down
You’ve gotta push slow with the crx. To fast and you’re shit out of luck. Slow being around an lb every 30-40 seconds
With W1, would you recommend soaking your material or inject solvent and simply throttle?
I’m curious if I need to soak my material prior to introducing to the W1.
Thanks all!
I soak in my material column 2-3 minutes before moving onto the crc. I move into the crc slowly with the bottom closed off to the collection vessel. Once solvent stops moving into the crc on the scale I then open the bottom of the crc and move onto collection.
