In the sight glass you can see the resin laden butane that just soaked the column above.

Yes. Below the sight glass is a shutoff on top of the collection pot.

I see, so correct me if I am wrong. In that sight glass it is in a liquid state.....then you open the valves to drain it? How and what purges the butane out of the concentrate....I mean I have seen how they create a vacume..but what purges the butane out of it...

Basically you pull a deep vac on the whole extractor system, thus the name closed loop. Butane runs from the top (most of the time) down through the material tube and into the bottom pot aka collection tank past the sight glass. Then a hose is connected to that bottom collection tank and the butane is pulled off PASSIVELY (not 100% sure in that persons extractor but most likely) by another empty recovery tank thats been pulled to a deep vac. When the collection tank with all the butane and hash oil in it get placed in warm water it helps this process out because once you get out of a vacuum you need to start using the pressure from the collection tank to push it into the recovery tank. Then after people put the collection tank in warm water they usually put the recovery tank in dry ice to cause the butane to recondense and further evaporate the butane in the collection tank.

Depending on the persons preference they usually leave a little butane in it to allow them to pour it out of the collection tank easier but some people who use propane or propane heavy mixes get so much out (due to propanes lower boiling point) that it cold muffins into a "space cake" basically look up X_tracted on instagram for all the "mystical muffins" and all the other crazy names they have for them hahaha.
