So your saying to open up the recovery valve and allow your recovery pump to cold boil the mixture just enough to get it mixing and moving around in the pot?
I’m passive

Same so I was thinking bummer for this idea.
Or is your recovery pot essentially acting like the vacuum pump in your scenario?

A bigger hose would probably help the flow a lot more from the filter to the collection. like a 3/4” jic or 1”. Going to try this soon with crude material and a 2x12 media tube or maybe a little bit bigger.

I want to do a 2x12 as well

Collection pot would be open to my tank, so that vacuum pressure would allow for recovery in the jacket that I have warming. That would roll and rumble everything in there and give it a good “agitate”. Then close it off and let it equalize pressure and temp, and push through filters. Or use second chamber to warm and keep isolated, then flush through media.

I’m excited to see the results from this, but it’s got me thinking. Has anyone extracted with hot butane gas instead of cold liquid butane?

I have thought about it.

Damn so doing this all inline, going to the sky I know. But since so wide, no hosing. Would that help me…I have a 2x12 with bunch filter plates I could throw in there, and a way to pack it evenly

I would love to buy some CRC’s from you. Let me know what info you need. Would really like the V2 with bypass valve. I envisioning running them inline after dewax column so I may want NPT ends instead of triclamp. Is that an option?

Designing a system for use with hot gas would allow you to use a bigger extraction column than what is normally used and with this color remediation procedure it might end up making an extract that looks as appealing as any other made by this procedure.

That’s the idea I use room temp gas and hot jackets @140f on the atlas material vessels. The extraction efficiency is way up and then the media column to strip the pigment. Not sure for lipids with hot since butane is non polar but if u had a separate cold vessel to move the liquid to after the dumping thru the media column that would work

Definitely. Especially if you can pack it down evenly. I say do little mini runs and see if you can get it. Make some sauce.

or a standalone vacuum accumulator?
I think it depends on where you buy them from, amazon, hfs direct, ebay, or other third party. I have ordered a bunch and usually get 2 rings and a plate but there is a seller that just does the ring but i forgot where I got it from.
For that bleaching clay step, are you talking about achromatizing clay or cbleach? Or is it yet another sorbent I’ve missed thus far?
Thanks for all of the awesome information everybody. This is some rad tek that I am excited to try. I have two questions though.
-
What type of press are you guys using to make the dry filter cakes? I am familiar with prepping liquid filter cakes with vacuum or positive pressure, but have never made a dry cake.

Could this filter cake be used post winterization on crude oil for making distillate? I would imagine it should have a similar effect, but am curious if anybody has tried it.

@eyeworm Is anyone aware of some type of lenticular filter system that could be used?
