Ran some more material today and should be getting labs back on first batch on Monday. Pure b80 again. Baked it for a few hours at 250f until the moisture stopped building up on the oven glass. Vac sealed in bags for each run. 6 micron filter paper on top of 2 micron disk in the indofab 6” with 5 micron disk on top. Ran about 700 grams of trim and 1300 grams of kief. Slazerbeam x Critical Glue x French Toast. About 500 or 600 gram yield. Propane and inline. I don’t even notice a slowdown at all. A few seconds after I crack the solvent tank the pressure in the collection slowly starts to rise and stays just behind the material column pressure all the way to 90psi. That is my equilibrium point. Cmep pulls the rest just fine. I notice a tiny slow down in the pressure going negative in the material column after recovery is almost done. It still gets to full vacuum just takes a few minutes longer. And added a before and after of the b80.
I get best flow going full bore into the pot. I use a shower cap to distribute the flow into the 6in coming from my dewax. A fats catcher with a 1um killa plate will make sure your shower cap doesn’t clog.

Are you using nitrogen assist or just a high pressure from propane?
Would you say there’s a pretty substantial difference of flowing between the W1 and the W3
Yes its noticeable but it’s even more noticeable in the 4in and 3in crcs. Those are where it really slows down. Also in a 6in you have to throttle the speed down a bit or the color makes it through but with W1 you can push through it fast and still get the full bleaching power
Yeah the only thing that slows me down for crc is I move to a intermediate vessel. I runs 6 inch but also dial back for resonance time over powders. I’d rather have to dial back than add crazy PSI. but there must be a happy medium… where you can flow fast and still get optimal color remediation. Sound like smaller tube and specialized dirt would be a magic combo.
Where in Oregon !

Edit: Damn I can’t get the video to upload. But it’s straight dumpin.
I’ve finally gotten to the point where I can run my crc without it taking anymore time than an actual run without it. If I really don’t want any color I’ll throttle it for more contact time with the media.
I’m running active with 2 cmeps and a jacketed collection spool and shatter platter on an old mk4c. From injection to pour I’m about 45 min for a 4x48 column. I’m also recovering during injection and vapor assist. I’m using 50g celite, 100g t5 and 75g AA. I go light on powders. Here’s a video of it dumping during injection and an after pic. So glad to where I can do this on every single run now and not have it take up any extra time
Do you guys think running 300g AA, 300g Silica60 and 900 grams T5 is too much for trying to clean up 1000-1500grams of crude. I’ve tried to run 1000grams of some pretty dark material through it and it came out a good color just really unstable. I even tried doing a secondary Dewax on 500 grams of it but still same thing. Could it just be the starting material or the possibility of too much powders. When running biomass through this blend (smaller increments) I can pull the most stable slabs and my jars crash within 12 hours. But now running crude through it I have no crash at all and slabs are runny.
I have had the same experience scrubbing material afterwards. More pull than snap. Bump your over temps to 100 f. Might help with stability a bit
Oh shit. Watch out… @FicklePickle armed and dangerous. With W1 in the CRC…hes going for record times.
Most people seem to run anywhere from 4:1 to 2:1 media:oil ratio.
Fastest extraction and recovery in the west

W1 will help stabilize
At what point are you burping n2?
Don’t use it
Hello,
I am currently having issues recovering all of my solvent from each column. I am losing between 6 and 8 lbs of solvent per column. Each column is 6x48 with 7-8lbs of material. I am washing 30 lbs of 99% butane with n2 assist on tank as well as column. I have a scale under solvent tank and collection. Running 6” crc 5um with 6x12 spool with t5 , silica , aa. Active recovery with cmepol. Here’s step by step so you can tell me where I am fucking up.
- Open valve on nitrogen tank. Check pressure on regulator.
2.Open nitrogen assist valve on solvent tank building tank pressure to desired pressure. (80PSI) - Tare scales to 0 lbs
- Turn on Cmepol
- Open injection valve on solvent tank, once desired amount of solvent is injected into column close valve. (30lbs)
- Open valve for nitrogen assist at top of column. (80PSI)
6.Burp nitrogen from solvent tank. (Note: PSI before nitrogen injection, burp back to noted PSI.)
This is where I think I’m fucking up
7. When pressure on collection reaches 70-80 PSI 8. Turn off nitrogen assist on top of column.
9. Close recovery valve on collection
10. Open vent valve on collection.
11. Burp solvent tank again.
12. When collection and Column PSI are under 40 PSI close valve between collection and column.
13. Vent column
14. Vent collection until you see solvent boil in collection.
15. Turn on cmepol
16. Open recovery valve on collection.
17. Turn on water pump for water heater.
18. Recover to desired oil:solvent ratio.
19. Close recovery valve on collection
20. Pour
At step 7 my pressure is starting to equalize with my nitrogen regulator and I kinda panic thinking my cmepol will not be able to handle the nitrogen or adding too much pressure to my tank. At this point solvent in collection is normally around 22-24 lbs after injecting 30lbs.
Will my cmepol handle the nitrogen?
Thank you for your time
