What about butane made you think an electric device would be a good idea? That hot plates wiring/heating element is exposed to the environment....not sealed in a vacuum. You are lucky to still have your vision.....super bad decision. Why even attempt one? Butane boils at such a low temp. Iso I can understand but butane? Wow100% hotplate. how was that missed until almost the 3rd page haha?
when was this passed because in high times bobby and the concentrate factory pinks uses open blasting still...This is why they have closed loop as a requirement now for bho
You have to go by WWJD, and he would use the closed loop.R&R can you let me know where you saw this info i can find anything on the web that supports what you have said.
Not sure about other places, but having written process and equipment verbiage for a couple of WA state applicants, I can affirm that they have closed loop written into their new regulations, and one built by a commercial manufacturer, meeting all applicable regulations. They must be closed loop and not out of someone's back yard.when was this passed because in high times bobby and the concentrate factory pinks uses open blasting still...
Thats what I mean, it's scarry as hell!I have always considered static to be a real safety issue. Precautions must be taken to prevent a discharge and cause a explosion. Touch a grounded metal plate, stand on a rubber mat, wear rubber gloves, etc. Having said this it seems obvious that any electrical device would be a major safety issue. Remove all electronics from a 50ft radius.
I would not underestimate the expansion of butane into a gas. Reducing concentration with fans in a enclosed space below ignition point of "1.86 to 8.41 percent butane to atmospheric air content" is probably much harder than you are giving credit for. The expansion ration is around 233:1. If my math is right that means one can of 300mL butane will release 300cm^2*233*1M^2/10000 cm^2=6.99 m^2 One can is roughly 7 square meters or around 75 ft^2. In a 10x10 room it would be filled with 75% butane. Or without any math just imagine the space of one can of liquid butane and imagine 233 of those cans and the space it would take when it is in a gaseous state.If you're going to do it in a garage or shop or something like that make sure every door is open and set up a couple fans if you have to to bring fresh air in to displace the butane vapor with oxygen so there is no chance (or a much lower chance) of this kind of thing happening.
Hey Daub no doubt man I agree with you do not do butane extractions in any enclosed spaces!!I would not underestimate the expansion of butane into a gas. Reducing concentration with fans in a enclosed space below ignition point of "1.86 to 8.41 percent butane to atmospheric air content" is probably much harder than you are giving credit for. The expansion ration is around 233:1. If my math is right that means one can of 300mL butane will release 300cm^2*233*1M^2/10000 cm^2=6.99 m^2 One can is roughly 7 square meters or around 75 ft^2.

Simply put, do not ever under any circumstance do butane extractions in any enclosed space.
