We’re mainly an ethanol-extraction facility, but I’ve been using this BHO setup for hydrocarbon concentrates. Just a Frankenstein with parts from everywhere.
Edit: Built the room too

do they allow drop ceiling in iso 9001?
Really nice build. Love the floor, love epoxy, hate epoxy floor prep. One trick we use to clean floor b/4 epoxy is rent a grocery store steam carpet cleaner. steam vac the concrete, let dry, apply epoxy.
DIY ductless mini-split works wonders for cooling; the DIY model is precharged so no need to hire a AC guy to charge it (around here costs 1/2 as much as minisplit)

That’s a good idea for floor prep!

They have many different brands and they seem a bit cheaper than home depo
Nice prices! Make sure you get the DIY model, the other models are not charged and will require you pay a bunch of $$ to charge with refrigerant.

Do you have any recommendations on bulk floor epoxy? Looking to do 1500sqft and don’t want to buy a bunch of those Home Depot garage kits

Go talk to Sherwin Williams about a marine grade epoxy. The Home Depot stuff sucks

Damn phil that floor looks fantastic and a step beyond what I’ve seen so far in extraction rooms. most of the floor epoxies and sealants i have encountered wear badly after 1-2yrs in a production environment with of alcohol and other solvent contact plus moving equipment like solvent tanks etc… would be great to hear feedback on long term durability of fancier finishes. Having spent time in 3 labs with epoxied floors I’ve always dreamed of polished concrete though I know it’s not as sanitary.

Its funny when you see that amount of equipment in a building that looks like its gonna fall down. That is a top notch room though for sure
