Heptane is in the same class as ethanol and can be ran in a type 6 in CA the same way ethanol is so that’s not entirely true
I wouldn’t drink heptane. I don’t even like to work with heptane without a hood
“ While heptane is still toxic and dangerous to humans, it isn’t as toxic as some other chemicals. It can be problematic for the human nervous system and is categorized as a neurotoxic substance. If you get exposed to it, you will experience changes in your perception, followed by mild hallucinations. A person who is exposed to 0.1% of the chemical will feel dizzy for 6 minutes. Higher content will lead to loss of motoric functions and vertigo.”

This was just the first resource that popped up on my quick search
This literally has nothing to do with what I replied to
I was correcting you because you’re wrong, never said anything about drinking heptane
Even hexane which is a neurotoxin is GRAS when handled correctly
Hexane does require extra ventilation ans safety measures to be used in a lab setting for extraction, that’s only because it’s a neurotoxin though.
Heptane doesn’t have these regulations which is why you can use it in a type 6 (ethanol facility) in CA

This is what I was referring to and my main point with that
Also there are safety requirements that differ between using ethanol and heptane also you CANNOT just pour heptane down the drain. You have to pay to waste, which is a whole other thing
Your point? Neither can ethanol
You do realize most people run ethanol denatured with heptane because of the cost

Are you really trying to argue with a chemist that ethanol is worse than heptane? For humans AND the environment?
Yes and Liz is a genius for denaturing ethanol for the community. It was a solution to the taxation on ethanol -as a beverage consumed by humans in bars and restaurants and at home - and made it more cost effective for INDUSTRIAL processors that have the equipment (ppe) and knowledge to property handle and have proper Analytics and techniques to make sure it is not present in the final product.
Edit: I don’t pour ethanol down the drains either (?)
pretty sure the hang-up for organic is always “sustainable means of production”

So if we could haz landfills make butane rather than methane they be good?
So long as it was “selected for” rather than “engineered”?
Make dumpster fires more entertaining too

I sell a regeneration system that will bring your 150-180 proof back up to 200 proof.
A few sites are using it already.
Up to 100 Gal/hr of regeneration capability.

Lol you’re going off your rocker again calm yourself
You said this and I corrected you and now you’re going off on all these tangents about dumping ethanol down the drain and shit which I think shows the kind of person you are but that’s not what we’re talking about here
Idgaf if you’re a chemist I’ll run circles around you in a hemp / cannabis lab. Experience > degree but that’s not what we’re talking about. We’re talking about the fact that you said hydrocarbon have more regulation and that’s not true if you use heptane since its in the same class as ethanol
Nice response glad you realize you’re out of your league 
I know when it fall on def ears
You just want to fight me and it’s clear.
So sorry I fucked with your boy who isn’t your boy

Actually I was just correcting you sorry you feel threatened by people who actually have experience with this
