transfort solventin closed loop system
- Thread starter brunt
- Start date
The process of using a transport solvent is old school passive closed loop technology, which is generally avoided because of the extra non-essentials extracted and subsequent loss of true essentials during alcohol winterization. It all boils down to what you want in your final solution.
thank you for the quick response.my hope was to be able to put the alcohol in my reclaim chamber then reclaim all the butane then poor the alcohol essential oil solution into a jar put in the freezer then winterize.but if this is going to cause problems with the quality or I'm going to be reclaiming alcohol and water into my butane tank then this is a bad idea.
my system is more like bhogart not exactly but like it.and yes I have heard of grey wolf He is one of the main reasons I read this forum.yes someday I would like to own a terpinator but for now I have to roll with what I have.thanks again this is setting me definitely in the right direction

why use another solvent versus using some leftover butane in the system? I'm heading out but I'll tell you what I mean later

Im thinking he should learn the ropes a bit before you throw ssd @ him bro. He obviously isnt doing the proper diligence if he has no clue what your speaking of, or what I put him on to earlier. Brunt, go read some more my man. Seriously, you'll be safer. Everything you need to know has been played out on these forums. Read.

good point. plus there are some threads on here in regards to it.
ssd= single solvent dewaxing
ssd= single solvent dewaxing
Some thoughts!
If you vacuum down any of the systems until the visible butane is gone, and then pour in warm ethanol, you can redissolve BHO into the alcohol and after filtration, go directly into 0F winterization, prior to filtering again to remove the waxes.
The residual butane will leave with the alcohol when you remove it, so is of no real concern.
Another way brothers and sisters are using, is to stop vacuuming while liquid still remains in the lower collection tank, and to super cool it before either venting it through a filter under vacuum, or pouring it off through a filter and boiling off the butane into the atmosphere.
If you extract with -50C butane, it won't extract the leaf waxes in the first place, so you can skip the dewax step.
For finishing up, I recommend a heated vacuum chamber, so you can keep the pool liquid and vacuum away the last of the solvents at lower temperature than at atmospheric pressure.
