Also do when folks say 100 g that’s total of all absorbants per lb of oil?
If your read the ratios in my post they’re all based on experience and alot of experimentation. It can take more or less based on your material but those numbers are a good starting point. Send me a DM brotha, I’ll give you a free phone consultation and if you like me, you can hit me up in the future for high quality extraction gear on a budget, or further consultation.

On crc thread some people saying 100g per lb are talking about material. Everyone has different methods just gotta find what works best for you

Hi @Idab916
Yes weve tried 100 g per lb of material.
That’s what we’ve been doing. That’s where we got 8lbs as mentioned. No flow. Or should I say non economical flow.
We’ll try a bit less see if our flow increases.
Folks running two columns not sure if they’re running Parallel or in series.
I assume parallel.
Anyhow I’ll let u know.
Thanks y’all
Peace

My first 6" b80 powder stack takes all the solvent treu
My collection pot to vapor collection pot
The solvent gets devided over the 2x3" powder stacks by 2 exit lines 1/2"
I work a lot with 1/2" lines npt for it s the only tread that can be rescued with 1/2" bsp tread if neccesary
this way I can swap stacks mid run and don t have to stop

100 gram per lb of expected oil . 100gs per lb of material equals no yeild and a waste of media.

I beg to differ. Plenty of people using 100g per lb of material and getting decent yield and flow.

I’ve been running either JUST b80 or JUST perform6000 at a 2:1 ratio. That’s 2 parts powder for for 1 part EXPECTED YIELD. So on a 40lb run you do you math on your expected yield (40x.15 or whatever you think you’ll get), then add double that. This gets ghost yellow slabs every time. You can use less if your material is fire. Using one powder (that happens to be dirt cheap… get it, dirt?) will save you tons of time and money. We don’t heat it either… I know people say you should but we don’t and get great results. We also hand pack.
We had a sintered disc blow out too so now we have steel plates and paper above and below it to support it.
Once we got it all dialed in we see no difference in flow rate or yield. It only adds a few minutes of labor and a few dollars per run.

Yep same here
No celite or De yust prime and shoot
Nice yellow crystal clear full of taste

625c isn’t hot enough. Thats “A” grade.

That’s what I tried and found that made a diffrance
This is the temp I got from mdsd of Florisil
What temp would you recomend trying ?
The kiln can go till 1100 C so room for gooing hotter

PR grade is 675c so you can give that a shot. That said, I’m not sure how long or what kiln parameters are used, so its kind of a crap shoot over buying certified product…but in a pinch that should work for small volumes. @Roguelab
Edit: that temp difference might not seem like a big deal, but even in EPA papers they say 650c activated product is not an acceptable efficacy in comparison to 675c

Are their people really getting good crc results with silica, alumina,magsil, by running with ethanol tincture? I’ve tried using bleaching clay , silica, magsil etc with ethanol tincture and have never had good results.

In my opinion, no. Its more for cleaning crude to go to disty… you won’t see the same results from using etho as you will a non polar solvent.

My research and literature searches are in line with this. Thank you for your reply.

Definitely had much better results with hydrocarbons as far as clarity and color, but if you do this process with ethanol crude before distilling you’ll notice a huge difference in quality vs just winterization and distillation.

Totally understandable
