Terpp is closed for the weekend and I would like to know if anybody here who dewaxes their product using an mk3, bought any additional columns to catch the fats/lipids. I read on other forums about Gray Wolf using a sock filter, but where would I place that? In the reducer where my input valve #4 is? Or the reducer above my column?

It goes between the column dump valve and the lower collection tank. You can get a tri clamp unit using a 4" X 8" assembly from Sweetleaf for about $350.

I prefer a 1 micron polyester felt filter, which were developed for the biodiesel industry.

Tortabeech,

I see in one of the photos you have electricity very close to the extractor. That is not a good idea. Your electricity should be a minimum of 10 feet away from anything containing gas. Better to have it in another room that gas cannot leak into.
