Nitrogen
Beverage Grade 99.5% Pure
Made in Italy
This modest but mighty nitrogen tank is a great to pair with any 2lb or smaller extraction system. For those customers that need nitrogen to push their solvent through color remediation columns (CRC) or for those super cold dewax extractions that need the extra push to get the remaining solvent out of the cold columns. This tank will produce a continuous ~66.5 Seconds of Nitrogen @ 80PSI.
Directions: (*Hose not Included with regulator)
Connect a stainless steel braided 1/4" JIC hose (or vacuum hose BVV-HVAC) to your extractor, placed at the valve where you need your extra pressure push. Using the needle valve you can open the regulator and the nitrogen will flow. Pressurize 15-30PSI.
*Note Nitrogen Tank Pressure is 1580 PSI
*At end of use, completely empty the tank for recycling.
Tank Volume of Nitrogen - 130g / 103 Liters / 3.67 Cubic Feet

How Much Nitrogen Pressure Do I Need For Adsorbent Filtration/ Color Remediation?
The nitrogen pressure required for adsorbent filtration and color remediation can vary depending on the specific equipment, setup, and the type of media you are using. It's essential to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for your particular closed-loop extraction system and adsorbent filtration equipment.
In general, nitrogen gas can be used to apply pressure to assist in pushing the solvent through the adsorbent media, enhancing the filtration and color remediation process. The pressure you need may vary based on factors such as the viscosity of the solvent, the flow rate, the type of adsorbent media, and the desired results.
It's recommended to start with a moderate nitrogen pressure and gradually increase it while monitoring the flow rate and effectiveness of the process. Generally, pressures in the range of 20 to 50 psi (pounds per square inch) are commonly used for adsorbent filtration and color remediation. However, this pressure range can be adjusted based on your specific equipment and requirements.
Keep in mind that using too high of a pressure can potentially cause channeling, uneven flow, and limited retention through the adsorbent media, affecting the quality of the filtration process. It's essential to strike a balance between achieving effective filtration and avoiding excessive pressure that could lead to inefficient results or potential safety risks. It's best to perform small-scale tests before scaling up to ensure optimal results and start off slowly when using nitrogen pressure for adsorbent filtration and color remediation.
