Vapor push into dewax

Hey there, would anyone happen to know if it’s feasible to use a hot vapor push to flush solvent out of a dewaxing material column? would the additional butane to the system be negligible? would this be counter-productive to dewaxing?

low dewax column temperature makes this harder to achieve as your butane gas condenses and loses pressure.
you’ll have more pressure differential at your disposal with nitrogen.
