Jesse was a fairly new employee at the time of this video and is no longer with us. As for the machine, we now include our on-demand thermal control system at no extra cost. On the Behemoth, it provides roughly 25kw at -40c and can cool a column from room temp to -50c in 5 minutes and maintain with minimal amp draw. We essentially re-invented the air conditioner to be much more efficient and is patent pending.
As for our 100# per hour, this is at a 10:1 ratio. Most people run a 3:1 to 5:1 ratio so we are going a bit overkill.
You have definitely been very opinionated now and in our previous conversations, maybe you should come check out the machine and run one before you make such statements?
We typically have bins of socks on hand for daily operation. Thinking that we are packing and unpacking the same socks while running the machine is absurd. You have to clean them in between uses.
The overall complication of operation is strictly to the user. You can have the mindset that it is hard and for you it will be. The overall operation of the system is quite simple and it pretty much just runs itself.
As for our wiper, we have discussed this before and maybe you should re-reference that thread? There are a ton of reasons why the wiper is the right choice in this application and you are again making assumptions.
Physical wiping action provides an increase of surface area by agitating the molecules at a set speed. Anyone who has ever ran a wiper knows they are faster than a tube-in-shell system. Agitation increases the exposed surface area thereby increasing the recovery rate. This IS basic physics. Really simple stuff to understand. This is no different than stirring to increase the rate of dissolution. You are increasing the effective surface area by mixing at a set speed.
Now we get back into your understanding of solvent physics and the real world of solvent physics. Do you still believe a superheated vapor can be partially liquid and still be considered superheated? Its easy why it is not put in clear words for you: we don’t want our processes being replicated by everyone such as yourself. Come talk to us and we can go from there. I will let you in on some of the High Pressure Hydrocarbon Extraction™ details.
We are aware of membrane skids out there and are starting to incorporate such tech in our designs.
For those who understand basic physics, a liquid is a liquid and a vapor is a vapor. When you transition from a liquid to a vapor it goes from 100% liquid to a % of liquid and a matching % of vapor (that adds up to 100%). As the liquid transitions to vapor the liquid becomes mixed with vapor in proportion to the amount of transition. Going from one phase, such as liquid, to another phase, such as vapor, creates a saturated liquid-vapor mixture. Because it is in transition from one phase (liquid) to another phase (vapor) it is “Phase Transient”. This is an extremely old reference you are quoting but it stands to be correct still today.
I would be happy to hear of another company who uses a saturated liquid-vapor mixture as part of the extraction systems design? This is part of our patent pending tech that literally eliminates the need for spray heads / solvent misters / atomizers / etc. The solvent is instantly turned into an atomized solution as it passes through the extraction column.
