Hi! Trying to purify my product a bit with my mkiii style cls. Just got a 3x24" dewax column, and I think I want to run some sort of filtration. I have a few questions. Any help would be fantastic! I'm running passive top feed. Collection pot is 6x18. No dump valve currently. No filtration but coffee filters and a viton 1.5" 150 mesh gasket (I think). I run chilled 70/30 Iso-propane. Thanks!
1) do I need a dump valve to soak my material for an hour or so, or will the time it takes to flood and drain suffice? Probably should have one anyway, but curious to opinions of the pros.
2) what are the best options for filtration that impedes flow the least? Stainless ball bearings, Ashless paper, or sock filter? Where is it best placed? Under the dewax above the dump valve?
Any tips or tricks I should know about the process? Thanks again!
