I do now but trying to run room temp to expedite the process. Cut time and amperage and equipment cost

You know @beaker his ISO /alumina oxide sop right ?

I am unaware lol
Look it up and try it with etho might work
Basicly warm crude to ISO at 1:4
Buchner with a layer of aluminium oxide grit 60 (sand blasting store)
And filter treu
Gets 80% out

So, in theoryā¦
Having two columns of that, one with AO and a second with a mix of cakes of T5 and AO should filter out most?
Run in succession

Well if you where able to swing ph during this trajectory I guess you get very close gota still figure out how to neutralize thou
Or yust extract with methanol

Yust push with n2 for the trails then invest once content

I donāt think swinging the PH should be too hard. I have a shit ton of filter plates and columns that I could pre-swing the ph before the with a cake, then the AO, and swing back with another cake.
Nothing I love more then streamlined shitš

I recomend working with t41 then as the acitic bento and t5 as the neutral

What should I use as the alkaline media?
Iām not sure the neutral would swing it back to neutral enough unless I ran a long cake on it
With your chosen solvent and adsorbents, do the fats rinse through the column eventually? Or do you have to change the polarity of the mobile phase to achieve that? If polarity change is required to effectively rinse the column of fats, then you can probably just pressurize and recirculate the solution through the column over and over again until clean. Hard to say if this will help the time issue or not - but should make for effective use of the media.

The only media Iām running now is AC and DE since Iām running room temp EToH. Just trying to see if I can do all this without going cryo.
What Iāve ran up to this point has been under vac and moved nicely and came out quiet well

Oh. I wouldnāt expect that to handle the fats.
Of course not! Thatās why we were talking about AO and go acidic prior to AO then swing back with T5
Hi,
The clays and silica donāt remove really any of the plant fats, really extraction with any nonpolar hydrocarbon is going to bring lipids along for the ride. Even at crazy low tempatures you will see lipids, no way around that. Try winterizing some material that was ādewaxedā in a closed loop setup in etoh, there will be a noticeable amount of wax.

Manā¦ Iām gonna start collecting everything I can for this shit and try and run it through at this point 
Iām thinking nanomembranes and run those as an experiment. Something is out there thatāll work. Just gotta find it. Cartridges that screw into the head of a column with vac or pressure.
And who ever does and markets it will be a millionaire.
the cartriges are an item we have been developing. Currently it is cheaper to pack the C.R.C with loose powders, but that is reaching a tipping point soon.The future seems bright!

āIāve have good goddamn ideas, great ideasā¦
Just seems like Iām always 10 minutes behind on emā.

Iām thinking for the nanoparticle membranes for dewaxing. Like the membrane filters in an RO set up.
Has anyone run those before for waxes and such?

in super secret yesā¦ thats all I can say about that!
