Congratulations on the purchase of a new Precision® Extraction Solutions

Model X40 Extraction System!

Please read and understand this operational manual thoroughly before

using the new extractor. Remember: safety first!

If you need further assistance, please contact Precision® Extraction

Solutions Technical Support directly at (855) 420-0020.

Important Preliminary Information

• Order desiccant. Precision Extraction recommends 3Å and 4Å

molecular sieves in 8 X 12 mesh. Molecular sieves can be ordered

from Delta Adsorbents (www.deltaadsorbents.com).

• Precision Extraction recommends ordering 50 Lb of 4 Å and 50 Lb of 3 Å sieves. Use a 50/50 mix of the two

for best performance.

• Operators MUST use dessicant when performing hydrocarbon extraction.

• Order a heat transfer fluid for the chiller and heater (if using a heater). Refer to the chiller and heater

manufacturers instructions when selecting heat transfer fluid.

IF A PRECISION® EXTRACTION SOLUTIONS TECHNICIAN IS TO INSTALL THE EQUIPMENT, THE

INSTALLATION IS NOT SCHEDULED UNTIL THE ABOVE ITEMS ARE ON SITE.
