We are looking for a hydrocarbon extractor that can do around 50lbs per hour or more. Active preferred or passive that can maintain -40C, recovery pump and heater. Bells and whistles such as a dewaxing column, 6x24 CRC columns, molecular sieve etc are welcomed additions. Let me know what you have.
In the northeast is a bonus to be picked up in person
@Zack_illuminated has something that will do that
Standard systems will get to -40/-60c but -80c is a little hard on the compressor however, we can augment the utility compressor with a vacuum pump (patented), then hitting -80c or even -150c is no problem. I have gotten to -110c so far with a single stage compressor and vac during prototyping, but the utility system uses a two stage compressor so it can handle the higher differential better with less wear on the compressor. So far no one has needed colder than -50c tbh. I have taken the utility to -83c with just the compressor and she got hot! So if you want the ultra low temps, then vacuum augmentation would be required for our single stage (Just Propane and one compressor. The vacuum is a pump.) refrigeration system that is capable of true cryogenic temps.
We just got patent approval for my heating and refrigeration tech. It is a new way to get hot and cold, fast, with little power consumption. Off the charts coefficient of performance at sub -50c temps!
Our basin is ran on compressor exhaust (patented) so there is no water heater utilized with our system, nor crazy expensive chillers - since I created my own. Just a little MTA to keep up the slack for the utility refrigeration cycle for when you are not cycling solvent. On the process extraction side, all heat generated by the compressor is removed by the solvent boiling in the basin. Hot vapor comes in, cold liquid comes out.
For 50lb/hr dry bio (no crc - takes more time) would be starting at the Manticore, then 100lb/hr with the R600 Behemoth, then its bigger brother the R800 Behemoth comes in at 300lbs/hr of dry bio processed.
The extraction rate is based on how fast you can move solvent, so each system was sided to the appropriate process compressor to keep up with solvent mass moved. I can run calcs on all the compressors to find out what it is moving at various conditions. We recommend a 70/30 propane heavy blend to maximize system performance on process. The utility system is isolated from the process system and uses 100% propane.
All systems are active and we take advantage of all heat and cooling generated between the two sides of the system (process/utility) to minimize power consumption and consumables. So it is just the two compressors and MTA that need to run for the system to operate effectively. You could almost get away with not needing the MTA at all once you are really good at running the system. I have many times gotten an hour or so into processing to see my utility pressure is a little high but working fine only to realize we forgot to turn the MTA on before we started extracting.
The Manticore gets 3x crc, the Behemoths get 4x, since the Behemoths are essentially two isolated systems in one system on the process side, you can run two different bio’s at the same time, or do an “A” wash - “B” wash to each basin/crc/gd1.
I came up with crashing THCa in our GD1 many years ago as I was the first to make a rotary anything that was rated for pressurized hydrocarbons, mainly propane. Crashing can be done with the CRC/multi-use columns, GD1 Mods: [ISS-25, ISS-50], or our RCMS Basin (two sizes). Using my refrigeration tech you can technically get a run done in 30 min but most people push it to 40 min.
NO Mol sieve to deal with ever again, we have a better way… Just check the site glass for water and drain as needed.
0.22um Anti-microbial filter prior to the final recovery.
I got something that’ll crush 80lbs, fully automated as well. Definitely has the bells and whistles
The Titan T20X from Xtractor Depot can hit 80lb/hour when equipped with all available upgrades, and can be ran actively or passively, or even a hybrid of both, taking advantage of the potential speed of passive, while allowing fast and full recovery towards the end of the process. Feel free to reach out to me here by dm, and I’ll be happy to go over the details, as well as your specific needs.
Still looking !
