No Seperation

This is interesting SWIM thought. SWIM used:

ACRB TEK 100g "PICS" (Newbie Friendly)

ACRB TEK 100g "PICS" (Newbie Friendly) - A/B - Welcome to the DMT-Nexus

And has been having amazing results. SWIM decided to up it to 200g with just a little more water in the acid stage.

After basic soup tho there was very minimal separation with the solvent. It hardly separated after sitting for 30min. The volume was still raising tho like it was trapped underneath.

Is this a density issue?

At 150g the process was still pretty flawless and yielded very well but 200g seems to be overkill.

Ugg, "SWIM"- puh-lease!

Sounds as though the solvent is getting trapped in the bark particulates because you've increased the amount of solid without adding sufficient water to make up for this.

This is the classic scaling up trap in action!

You can probably push the density up a bit but then you start getting emulsions, trapped solvent (as downwardsformzero pointed) and loss of yield. Better use more water than less.

What if one was doing a drytek, i.e. no water in the basic material, and an NPS added to that? Would that create an even bigger mess (NPS with solid particulates suspended in it and not separating) or would it solve the problem completely and allow for perfect separation?

This supposedly (?) works with IPA, would it still work with an NPS?

Drytek is like a cake, so the solvent can't be mixed with basic liquid because there is no such liquid.
From my experience, the cake agglomerate in small chunks but not infinite small particles.
But i allways filter the solvent from it to be sure
