So by now some of you may have seen my B(arn)HO lab post, where I referenced my new venture. Consider this your formal invitation to my debutante ball. Bharris is all grown up and aBHOut it Industries is born.
I was always a little hesitant to share too much on here given my medical condition…
According to my first mmj doctor from the back of high times, too much exposure to the light could result in long term confinement in a facility not really up to my standard of living. Spend too long in the shade, sunburns are a genuine concern, ya feel me?
Well. I’ve spent a long time now prepping for the increased UV exposure and I feel like my base tan is just about sufficient to handle some sunshine. So, I thought it most fitting to shout out the old days and welcome the new in the same post. Here it goes.
Long story short, we just launched aBHOut it Industries. Our first product line, the BHOmeter, is a cryo rated, c1d1/UL/FM certified flow meter designed specifically with hydrocarbon extractions in mind. Which is why we have the only -90C volumetric meter coming onto the market. I’m not an inventor nor mechanical engineer. In each of our upcoming product lines, I have both located and convinced(harder part) a company with extensive experience and quality manufacturing processes(read as: we don’t sell shit from China) in the given category, to partner with aBHOut it to release packaged products to this sector. Although subpar, there are other flow meters out there. There are nitrogen generation systems you can find online. We add value by way of having found the right manufacturers, and customized their offerings to meet our needs as an industry.
Brought to you by veteran extractors and designed for our specific use cases, our meters and other product offerings come with the back-end support I always wanted when dealing with industrial and lab equipment manufacturers. With whom I either couldn’t be honest, or who shunned me once they found out my use case (thinking of you, Polysci).
aBHOut it Industries goes way beyond helping you choose which sensor to buy and how to install it. We also help you design experiments to refine your processes, analyze the results of these experiments, and improve your run times, yield percentages and product consistency- virtually overnight. Possibly even throw in some crc tips while we’re at it.
We are working on integrations with lab software suites to automatically collate the data from our meter technology with all of your other important data points: METRC, pressure, temp, inventory/consumables, etc.
We have worked tirelessly to identify and source the ideal cryo valve and electronic actuator so that your desired solvent ratio is achieved every time. We’ve negotiated wholesale pricing and purchased in bulk to reduce retail costs to our customer base. In some cases, funded the r&d and recertification processes ourselves. End goal being a plug and play automation package for any existing system that means yourself, or your team, can spend their time doing something more productive than watching the scale and counting on your fingers.
Once and for all you can determine why a bad run was… bad. Whenever we had a bad run, we were left wondering if it was: Shit biomass mixed into good. Operator flooded for too long or not long enough. Low yielding material. Or channeling/bad crc ratio/blend. Eliminate variables by way of having actual data.
aBHOut it Industries is not here to compete with all of the established equipment suppliers or system manufacturers. We are here to bring a couple very specific products to market to fill the gaps that we, ourselves, identified and rectified out of necessity. The addition of a flow meter in our systems helped us to make more money without having to make more oil. Which is the key to survival in the current market. Once you’re producing at maximum efficiency(realizing the full yield with minimal byproducts and no extra solvent recovery time), scaling up is easy by upgrading components.
The name, aBHOut it… represents the fact that we really rocked out in this space from the beginning. From PVC(whoops) tubes and master cases to… the B(arn)HO lab in the other thread, but **we couldn’t really be “aBHOut it” without the blessing of this community and the support of those of you who pioneered the growth and progression of the industry across so many fronts. **
I liken us to one of those translucent deep ocean creatures rarely observed by humans, now washed up on the beach. Weird yet fascinating, terrifying yet beautiful, but after a little monitoring, the healthy skepticism fades and it’s discovered to be the embodiment of evolution/survival of the fittest. An entity who evolved to survive in the harshest conditions and adapted to outsmart countless natural predators. Champions of natural selection, inviting all of you to bear witness to our next evolutionary transformation.
And so it is. I beg you all to scoop us off the beach. Rinse off the sand, throw us in a tank for observation, and let us help the industry like the industry has helped us all these years.

Thanks-
