What do I need for Ethanol Extraction?
1
Chilling
Chilling
Freeze your biomass and pre-chill ethanol to as low as -40°C to reduce post extraction steps.
2
Extraction
Extraction
Closed-Loop, ethanol extraction using mechanical centrifugation.
3
Particulate Filtration
Particulate Filtration
Removal of suspended particulates / adsorbents from the tincture.
4
Solvent Evaporation
Solvent Evaporation
Removal of ethanol from the plant crude-oil.
5
Decarb
Decarb
The release of CO2 and water vapor from crude oil. Activate target compounds by removing the carboxyl group.
6
Distillation
Distillation
Uses UHV (Ultra-High Vacuum) and controlled residence time to achieve molecular separation of target compounds from the crude oil.
