Top to bottom I have
Media
Felt roll (tampon)
6 inch 5um sintered
6 inch 1um sintered
Would like to stay away from granular media but increase flow. I’m aware that residence time is a factor, however it is currently our biggest bottleneck
What do you suggest ?

Felt roll is a good move, I have always put alumina at the bottom because of it being course and keeps the flow going. Then stacking clay’s, topping with the d-wax acidic silica and maybe a coarse overcoat.
Stuff a couple bio socks down on top of it so it diffuses the solvent and keeps the pack tight and doesn’t get all mixed around when the solvent hits it.
I usually put a 6.5mm disk above the socks (keeps the socks from getting into the site glass view) with a site glass on the inlet and a site glass below the 10-20um 6" sintered, followed by our 0.22um filter.
I just got home a couple ours ago from driving back 18hr from our recent Behemoth install out in Oregon. I will try to get something put together here that answers everyone’s questions shortly-ish.
Edit:
Working on getting the webpage updated with all of our filter options. We can get you taken care of though in the meantime, just give Sales@illuminatedextractors.com a holler.

Whats everyone think about a 50um sock with a usa labs filter plate at the bottom of the material column and a whatman fast flow paper? Should I get a compression ring or do the solid rings work well?

We only do 50um socks with a 6.5mm packing plate at the bottom… using a sintered disk and filter paper causes clogs and other problems. Instead, just filter down-line from that system with an inline high flow filter.
For instance, our Behemoth starts with a 1um on the crude before the work basin, which experiences high flow rates, and before it comes out of the machine it goes through a 0.22um anti-microbial filter, which experiences lower flow rates but still pretty close to the same. Our filters are 10gpm to 20gpm. The R600 Behe only moves 30lbs or 7 gallons per minute of propane. So the smallest size we offer will work for pretty much everyone.
