So I posted on the forum a week or so ago to field interest in split processing for crude. As I expected, I got an underwhelming amount of responses from people that were interested. I’m sure we all understand the position of most people in the industry given the collapse since last year and I would prefer not to harp on that factor too much. The lack of viable options has lead me to believe I should simply build my own set up.
I have roughly 60k lbs of biomass myself and my good friend has another 40k of his own. Obviously there is also no shortage of bio supply. I was thinking it would be good to have a set up that could do 500-1000lbs a day into crude. I could utilize this for myself and maybe some friends as well. Does anyone have any recommendations as far as well priced effective equipment goes? Maybe a used set up that they have out grown or are planning on replacing? I am open to all recommendations and information that anyone is willing to provide.
Given that I am ultimately undereducated in the process of building a lab, I would also like to hire someone to help me streamline the process of turning this idea into a reality. I have learned more than once that it is best to do this proper the first time around because it costs much more to fix a mistake after the fact.
Thanks everyone for always sharing your gems and helping new folks get started. I have learned a lot from this forum just staying in the background and am grateful for you all.
