Goodness you must be tired from all this! I got tired just reading about how much thought you have put into me
.
I will try to satisfy your multiple concerns as a reply here:
I owned my filters for a different purpose. While these are excellent for removing microbiological contaminants from solutions to produce a sterile discharged product; my company's interests were focused on concentrating the microbes on the upstream side of the membrane for studying in the laboratory. You could filter many hundreds of liters of water per day before being able to retrieve an adequate amount of certain organisms from that water for study. There were times in which I had 10 simultaneous field sites sampling in the same day. It is more than I will explain here.
The "biodiesel" was not filtered to use in powering an internal combustion engine. My associate had a legitimate idea of creating a biocide to use in the biodiesel industry in my part of the country. Organisms grow particularly well in some places; and they grow in biodiesel much more readily than they do in petroleum based fuels. In other words: his need for the filtered oil seemed legitimate to me because of the general idea and because he collected the used membranes for "study" as well.
The oil was filtered into 1 liter GL45 threaded pyrex media bottles that I sterilized: exactly like the one in my picture filled with trenbolone acetate. I filtered countless liters of this oil.
About the amount and expense of my equipment: you have crossed into territory of speculation that matters not in my ability to produce the product I am advertising. But just for you: I actually had 10 of those filters- 3 of which I sold to my friend when we parted ways on the oil filtration. The way I came by them is akin to a farmer buying tractors and implements. They were tools of my trade; and therefore deductible and depreciable. The same goes for my autoclaves.
As far as "contradicting" myself: Would it make difference enough if the excerpt from my intro included the two words in red as below?
"I began
(large scale) sterile filtration of hormones in oil a little over 4 years ago. I stumbled upon it by happenstance when a friend asked if he could pay me to filter large volumes of oil solutions for him. He said it was something to do with biodiesel research.”
If this was the problem that concerned you so; I apologize for the omission and for considering it negligible in importance.
As for my "brewing timeline": I did begin about 6 years ago; as previously stated with syringe filters and bottle top filters. If you will look at eh lower portion of my filter rack, you will see a manifold of white tubing. That is the vacuum system I use for small or test batches. To assume I did not filter my gear way back then is ludicrous; and the rigidity in which you place the context of my written language expression is quite excessive, but that's okay too.
The short story is I am exactly what I say I am; but I won't tell you who I am or how I got here. I realize that is unsettling; but the nature of this business mandates anonymity and, subsequently, a certain degree risk on the part of all involved.
Before you or anyone else asks again: no, I have not sourced before and I have not worked for another source before.
I studied and I studied hard; and that is the end of my story.
Again, I do appreciate your tenacity and dedication to this; but those portions of my story were completely accurate and without embellishment.
If I missed something, please let me know.
