Really interesting, I would like to know more about the machine. Cost, capacity, and full spec. Can you send to my email: onvinhtan@gmail.com or you can DM me.
Id love to get some specs on those machines to, could you post a link to brochure on them, thx.
On another note I found 92%ethanol w/ 8%iso mixture in canada for $16 CAD per gallon with free shipping. So im pretty stoked to have that option financially make sense now. Once I get the delivery ill let you guys know how it went and where you can find it.

Gotta take reduced yields into account as well at -80c. Leaving money on the spent biomass. Though even that may still be cheaper than labor for winterization depending on the scale. It seems like larger scale operations are having a real hard time justifying the costs of keeping things below -40. Especially while already incurring the cost of heavily taxed hydrophilic ethanol.
Gonna be interesting to see where things go if the price of hemp takes a dump due to supply outpacing demand this harvest season. Energy and solvent costs are going to remain relatively constant while labor increases and raw material cost drops, making that reduced yield even less painful.

If you use enough ethanol and a long enough soak time you can save your yields. 250 gallons of cryo alcohol can easily do a 1000 pounds of material. Ive found at cryo temps the ethanol can hold more THC then warm as youre not extracting as much undesirables which leaves more room for thc. When i warm extract i use 2x the amount of solvent, compared to double that when i cold extract. So technically youre using twice the amount of energy to do the same work warm since you have to evaporate 2 times the amount of solvent. This must be taken into account, not only electricity costs but double the amount of time in evaporation and labor.

Filter Press – 1200mm / 100 cf – SafeLeaf.ca (we have a cheaper option as well, e-mail us or DM here)
GLG members in Canada enjoy free shipping with us on orders exceeding $1000.00 CAD
Thanks @SafeLeaf.ca,
But Ive already ordered some ethanol from these people at $16 CAD per gallon with free shipping. I called the company to confirm exactly the ratio of isopropyl to ethanol and E-NRG fuel is 92% ethanol and 8% Isopropyl with zero other additives.
My 80 gallons is supposed to arrive in 3 days. Ill let you guys know how this transaction goes.

Just wanted to update, I did receive the E-Nrg ethanol shipment, look a little longer than expected (2 weeks) to arrive but its as advertised.
Hopefully this helps some people not get raped by stores like evolved for $60 a gallon
$5.50/l of Ethanol is our price, DM for more info!
Any reduction in yields after the first extraction using the reclaimed solvent? I’m wondering how much water is retained with isopropyl by itself forming an azeotrope at 91%.
Just kidding. Found that info here.

Our CO2 machines make #shelfreadyoil. No post processing, absolutely no disty, no residual solvent ppm. Clean, safe and pure.
Where at I would like to stop using iso
Most likely a scrub of sorts in this situation

When are you going to start selling your membrane processing machines?
My small skid is being finished so we can do live demos in SF, just needs the PID
After this week we will have the data we need to start producing larger skids, were tuning in the temp and pressure and then were done with the R and D on these membranes atleast
I actually just received a call from a big membrane manufacturer thismorning, im more then likely going to be working with them to developer special membranes for our industry

Do you do a wash and filter? Or just put it in your boiling flask? And you are saying it won’t convert the D9 to D8?
Do it up stream if ya can. Add carbon to cannabis/solvent solution, get solution “warm” & agitate if possible. Then filter & reduce = red/orange crude
