How many lbs of biomass per crc column?
What powders are you using?
What is the process flow like?
Example)
solvent tank (temp/ pressure)
Material column (temp/pressure)
Dewax column (temp/ pressure)
Pass through column / pre crc column (temp/pressure)
Crc column (volume of powders/temp/pressure)
Evaporation tank (temp/pressure)
Solvent tank (temp/pressure)
About 8lbs of bho to 2.2 lbs of material with 400g of b80 temp is around 40-50⁰f it flows well theres no blockage going on it’s pressure across the board runs between 25-50 hg my collection collum get around 80-99⁰f with the water heater attached
Try a small layer of silica on top of the b80. The silica will hold back pigments until it doesn’t… so you will need to fine tune the amount of solution you can push through based on that batch of material
My only concern with the silica that it will strip the terpines from the final product I used it previously and that was the issue I had with it will a small amount effect that?
It’s been a few years since I ran BHO but when I ran into the problem you are describing it was because of moisture in the gas. Are you sure everything is okay with your molecular sieve?
As far as I know yes what are some ways I can test this?
That what I was thinking as well, sounds like a bad gasket or fitting some where , I wonder what type of system OP running
Yes.
They get hot when they absorb water.
Read of: Molecular sieve beads
While we’re at it, “dark jars” is a lousy description of what you got going on…if you use search queries of similar quality you’ll not find this place very useful.
Check the bottom of ur solvent tank , do you have any debree ice build up or anything in there
If you use silica on top of b80 your concentrates should look and smell fire. Just use a ratio from raw material to silica/b80 use.
Nope.
Your gauge may have in.Hg below zero, but above zero is in almost certainly in psi. As one cannot achieve 50in.Hg vacuum, those are positive pressures and are in psi.
Nor are you running “BHO” over your biomass.
When you cleaned the system, did that include your solvent tank? Did you find water in there?
When you used “new tanks” was ALL the solvent “new” or did you just ADD new solvent to the system?
When you created a “new gas mix”, how did you determine the ratio? Was this new blend the ONLY solvent in the system?
Define “cold”. Ambient is 59F and it feels cold to me atm. Certainly would not qualify as “cold” for the purposes of light hydrocarbon solvent extraction of cannabis.
…and you haven’t regenerated or replaced your molsieve over the course of these 30-40 runs?!?
Sounds like you need to play hot potato…
I was gonna tag you but I knew you would be here soon enough lol
There’s still a lot I’ve got to learn psi is what I meant sorry I was tired last night I’ll check the tanks at some point today I really appreciate the help excuse me for my lack of knowledge this is something I’m still learning and it sounds like I’m slacking heavily currently
You’re in the right place
remember that can be deadly in this game.
I was ignoring a thread which I assumed from the title was someone looking to source amber jars… maybe to stop potency loss in their distillate?
So, have you tested your molsieves?
Shouldn’t take more than a few min to open up the column, grab a handful, and add water…
If they don’t get hot, they are doing nothing for you.
Ah well I think that was the issue haha 
Throw your beads in the oven for a few hours at 300° f, as soon as they cool down throw them into an airtight container for storage until ready to use. And depending on how much stuff you run be ready to do that quite often.
Preferably under vacuum.
@Peacethyme: have you
Yet?
…link looks unfollowed.
Spoons only help if you pick them up.
Yeah I ended up doing it and it fixed alot of the issues been super sick the last few days so I haven’t been doing much lately
