same concept more or less. applying it to terpenes/cannabis hte might be considered novel

It will be difficult but not impossible to design.
Have you seen this system?
It look likes your missing weirs and downcomers on the plates?

these are really just kinda placeholders as they’re probably too restrictive as is, but I changed it a bit

had an idea for an ironfist style packing system that wouldn’t require removing columns, this would use a sleeve to fit inside the material column and have a plate at the bottom to pack on to/use to extrude the spent biomass

had an idea about a pod based around existing 510 hardware, with a threaded adapter to fit standard stick batteries. Could work natively with the magnetic style batteries that are currently out - uni pro etc, or a new pod battery entirely
edit: I guess it’s kind of an airopro adapter lol

What a great and honorable thread idea. Bookmarking this.
I have some synthetic chem ideas I might share. But honestly if I file a patent on anything it’s to get the corporate fuckboys to pay me for my synthetic process, and I wouldn’t enforce it against the average Joe. As we all know, synthetic methods patents are basically “how-tos” for the underground, and I would be most honored if an underground chemist were using any patents I file to make their own medicines.

Ideas for material columns using 300 series flanges, capable of holding roughly 45 and 200ish # dry respectivly
2m tall, 10" nominal and 300 series 316 flanges, 1" swagelok liquid/nitrogen/vapor push lines

If you put the coil in the 510 base, you can try the same experiments that i did in 2019 that had me giving up and using glass carts instead
I’ve wanted a solid method for providing the end user with a decent “I’d like extract from that flower” in the dispensary (or at home) for almost as long as I’ve been in the business (and as a medical patient I was making my own before I got into “the biz”).
flower squish looked promising for a sec or two.
as did espresso machines, and itty bitty CO2.
vapor static extraction, or some other form of direct distillation from biomass (looks a lot like an modded expresso machine y’all) might get that solved…
who wants to open source something silly like that?
maybe use dry ice and a van de Graaf or Wimshurst generator…so it can scream while operator winds it up to make it go (ionize the argon?)

Sleeved flask.
just in case it matters….

Is anyone aware of any patents for VOC concentrators or similar equipment used for solvent recovery/flaring as it relates to our industry?
The Raw Garden lab situation + potential federal legalization and the future involvement of the EPA make for an interesting set of circumstances as far as emissions go

single use extraction on demand - always thought that was a thing to get to - some ideas but just that for now. go loxley uses heated argon - have some other interesting ideas
Have you seen the AGI/asahi counter current liquid to liquid column? Very similar idea with independently heated sections each with their own drain if needed. We had a video of it around here somewhere. I was trying to bring it to market but it never made it out of NDA land. Still used heavily in some labs.
Theres a video of it around here somehwere.

looks like rotary VOC concentrators fit the bill for this
no additional oxygen or condensing required, pretty neat. Just uses a zeolite wheel to capture VOCs and then heats/combusts them with the discharge gas
