I think it’s a frosting spreader. Here’s a size comparison to a AA battery.

Test results are in!
Warm ethanol crude coming out the membrane at 87.5%!
These results speak for themselves aa to why color doesn’t mean shit

Sup with that 6a,10a? Is this a conversion? When I read warm etoh crude, I was expecting from biomass…

This is from biomass
6a10a is made from d10, this was biomass that was sprayed with fire retardant
But you can tell that by the color right?!

Isn’t high temperature (as high as during short path distilation) eventually necessary to achieve such conversion ?

So does d10 naturally degrade into 6a10a? I assume you’re not using any catalyst in your extraction.
@Kingofthekush420, thats soup, what product do you make with this mix of noids ?
Not a rhetorical question, im genuinely curious what you would make with this crude, even downstream.

D10 is acid isomerized into 6a10a the same way d9 is to d8
6a10a is more stable
This was run through gcms and decarbed on a hot plate which is why there’s no acids in there, that’s enough heat to cause it IMO
I have no idea where this biomass came from a customer brought his own material to run on our skid and this was what was made

All it is is thc material that was sprayed with fire retardant
Remember when people were producing disty with d10 in it? This is basically the crude that would produce it
CA has a problem with biomass that has been sprayed with fire retardant because we always have fires read the d10 thread
You could easily turn this into cbn, it’s basically all thc and cbn but 1% cbg
Entertaining is watching you post about a vacuum pump on a forum instead of talking to the people in person, it shows what a bitch you are

Wow, plenty of people here know me personally and chat with me almost daily to solve their issues their lab directors can’t solve.
We’re at almost every cannabis convention across the US with booths.
Thanks for the direct attack though. Shows how thick headed you are.
Didn’t I chat with you at the last MJBiz convention?
I was busy getting leads, while you wanted me to hit your D8 cart or some shit out front of the hall.
Lmfao

In fact I don,'t know this reaction. Maybe lower heat is sufficient, indeed.
This was decarbed before the membrane treatment I guess. Wasn t it ?
On first sight this looks like a poor choice for a demo sample, because quite confusing… but could in fact be also a very interesting way to show if this technology is able to mitigate this issue. Shouldn’t it be able to remove the catalyst on an undecarbed material ? Or is the crude slurry already partly converted in any case, even if processed at room temp ?

Ahh So this is all for disty or conversion, I see
Wondering what the same process would test and look like with thca

I dont think the customer decarbed it before he extracted it but I’ll ask
I always decarb after the membrane to make sure all the solvents out, I don’t have a roto at my partners house so we’re just boiling off 250ml of permeate on a hot plate to remove the solvent. Kca is still testing the samples of the starting retentate for concentration and the final permeate, we will see if they have any acids in there that could also give us an idea of what step in the process this is happening
The membrane would only reject the catalyst if it was bigger then the pour of the membrane, i estimate the membrane I use to run around 500 Daltons in ethanol so anything under 500 in mw would make it through
I’m about to do a demo in SD with @Dukejohnson to prove exactly that
I have no reason to BS on this, I mean I’ve already made crude testing at 79.5% and that’s before I started using the FF ultra to tune the skid in
If this wasn’t partially decarbed I could have made cbd a isolate from it

Gnarly, I hope you will share the results, anything over 50% thca from a crude run is great numbers imo

We’re planning to share all the results
We also offer live demos on your material!
We can bring the test skid to your facility

Bro, If you came to my facility id be impressed, im in BC Canada. Zoom demo id be down for, I am always looking for ways to improve our processes, membranes rock my world & I want one
