Noob seeking help with redneck isomerization

I agree I have a lot more reading to do. I dug into some SPD topics here and watched a couple Youtube videos, but the different components of an SPD aren’t clear to me yet. I also wonder if I need the typical setup you see on the forum like this one for what I intend to do with it. People extracting from crude probably end up with more fractions than I would?

Another problem is that AC, activated bentonite, T5 or T41 are not for sale in Europe. T5 and T41 are American products, the bentonite in these regions seems to be used for face masks and is not activated, and the carbon is steam activated, not chemically activated. So I will have to use some kind of acid or maybe acidify the carbon myself.

I think I’m going to try what @YeahBet described earlier, reflux, filter, remove solvent. I can have it tested on residuals for €45 and I assume it’s safe to ingest when that comes up negative?
