So if it’s a gel type consistency do you think powders are getting through?

Almost certain now…maybe sub micron particles? Or nitro “push” instead a “bump”
All I know if in doubt put in everclear etoh and test it out shows up instantly
It’s floating too when warm…no way it’s fats I never put in freezer
No reason to filter cold right?
If that’s powder, it looks like there was a lot of it that made it through. Is the white stuff grainy feeling between your fingers? Did you weigh powders before and after?
Edit: fats will drop out of ethanol at room temp, that’s why good ethanol winterization is done in stages, room temp, -40, -80 if possible.

If I was to bet I would say those are lipids.

Damn really? Howd they get free running dry ice cold…well fuck me and I learn something everyday!
They are dissolving in the etoh when hot
If that’s the case then YESSSSSSS LOL and nooo lol…I still don’t trust sending out the ones I already filled
pretty sure because of its polarity butane picks up some amount of fats no matter what, the colder you are the less you get but even guys that run cold on frozen material and use an inline dewax for 2 hours still pull fat if they further refine through ethanol winterization albeit much, much less.

Correct, the powders would fall out not float to the top.

I also say its fats/lipids. I noticed a small increase in yield when I run cold solvent/material as compared to including dewaxing in the process.

From the looks of it the mistake I made was not baking my b80. I will try again tomorrow with some baked media in my 3in x 36in in CRC column.

Now that I think about was hot as balls that night. I ran material 2x w no jacket just froze prior
2 run,ran recover ran recover. It definitely warmed up. Getting use to the 3" rig, first summer with her

I dissolved a sample of my product on ethajizz to see if any media was passing through…didnt look like it…but this gel consistency is fucking weird…I just want it to sugar and it wont…anyone getting a steady gel on da reguluur? Is it normal? I don’t think I like it.
It’s super hot and humid up here. If I don’t have dry ice I’ll often wrap my 3" in pipe foam and reflective Insulation sheeting. I’ve had inside columns stay freezing for hours after runs. I seen someone on the thread using it as well. Works for small runs. Again I only use a 3".

can you please send me a catalog
That’s perfect I never thought that awesome!

Gel? Why the gel? Whyyyyyyyyyy
I had a texture like that a few times, usually when i recover too much tane for the pour. But it still crashes for me

Check out NB Oler SINTERED TRI-CLAMP FILTER much better then filter papers and aren’t too much

I started researching bleaching clays, MagsilPR, and degumming agents in 2016 to combat pesticide residues that were managing to persist through distillation. From that I forged a relationship with Clariant to bring engineered clay to our industry, starting with T41 which was also branded as Cbleach for a bit. I kept digging through the available clays from Clariant to find a functionalized filtration media for the ethanol extraction community…T5.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think those research projects would play a part in what this thread has become!! We had anecdotal reports from customers that silica and carbon could be used in a BHO column but they told us to keep it quiet, and we did. Confidence and trust are valuable to Carbon Chemistry.
I’m so proud of every fucking one of you for pushing this technique waaay beyond anything that could have been googled. Look for butane chromatography…ain’t much there in literature, haha!
I started off open blasting but was one of the first people to make CLS shatter worth selling in dispos in the SF area, as Alpha Extracts(2013-2015). If sauce and CRC had existed back then…my life would have gone in a totally different direction. I’m stoked to be on this path with all of you, in this way, at this time.
Cheers.

Nevermind got it all to sugar. All is well in Rainbowp3nisLand 8==D~~:heart:
Much luv, bruv. Glad to be on this venture with you. It would be crazy if these were were introduced to the game years ago. Imagine how far we will go in the coming years.
I’ll message you more about the Portland class. We are going to do a Saturday class, as well as the Sunday. There are two days available now. We’re doing a live demonstration with a bizzybee jangle. And teaching about passive.
