Dear Nexians,

After the final tumble of the lye/water/MHRB/naphtha container, how long should one wait before seperating the naphtha from the sludge? Can I just wait until the layers are completely seperated (2 hrs) and go ahead? or should I wait longer.

Teks dont really go into detail about this step, or are just confusing.

I'd appreciate any help!

thanks

p.s. STB tek used

Yes as soon as layers are separated you could pull, but I recommend doing a few cycles of mixing/letting separate before pulling the solvent, as this will guarantee the solvent will be more saturated with alkaloids. Good luck!

Ha I did 10 today with 1 hour intervals. Last nights yields were insane.

Thanks for the clarification
