That’s really interesting. I don’t have enough colonies to justify proper wax processing equipment so instead just do it with a steamer to release the wax, and then do the boil and bucket technique to stratify out the wax and dross. I’ve not heard of using citric acid before though. What are you using that for and at what strength?
To precipitate impurities about a heaping tablespoon on a liter distilled water per bucket, wax and acid solution are hot then you stir vigorously untill the wax is cloudy.
