Looks like you not only sell turnkey systems, but consult as well?

Yes sir! I have a background in engineering so I can help out with almost anything. After we're open feel free to stop by and chat anytime. Thanks for the support neighbor.

We'll have terpene extraction kits too. You just extract your terpenes first from your native plant material and then do your extraction and purification. It's a little more work but the result is a high terpene high purity extract with a lot more control of your consistency.

Lyophilizing or steam distilling?

Like this where they got a purity of purity of >99%.

I was gonna say I remember reading these before I ever touched tane and pane. It seems like the most efficient when going for that 99.999% would be a distillation followed by a column chromatography run. As for time, I don't know how quickly anyone is processing on that note.

But GW says upper 90's with just distillation. My question for you, kind sir, is - Are you confident 99%+ could be efficiently and consistently achieved with two distillation passes from, say, 30-60% thc-content crude oil?

How viable is it to fraction THC, CBD, terpenes from a given flower/concentrate, then mix them all together?

I am confident that you could achieve 99+% cannabinoids if you continue to redistill it. How many times I couldn't say for sure because there's too many variable involved, but on average most people will hit 90+% purity on their first run.

Generally the terpenes degrade with temps above 50°C so its best to extract them from the plant material first before extracting the cannabinoids.
It is possible (with a more extensive setup) to fraction individual cannabinoids but it is not viable at all. That's where chromatography comes in because its pretty easy and cost efficient. So if you want high purity cannabinoids then the short path will do it, but if you want to separate individual cannabinoids then go with chromatography. Using them both together would be ideal.

Ive been making awesome distillates, i only put grease on my cow and receiving flasks. No grease or anything on the boiling flask and spd head. Ive been using a robinair 3cfm vac pump and usually pull down to ~1000 microns once reaction starts happening. The pump will pull down to 500 before reaction starts taking place. No vac regulator, just a digital cps vac gauge. Just let the pump pull full speed the whole time. Ihave an RV8 about to be rebuilt. We'll see how much better that will be. Personally i dont thin the edwards 30 is nessecary. Also this is all done using the hot and fast method. My main fraction is usually in the 225 range, and usually takes me about 45 minutes to yield 400ml of distillate.

^^ hot and fast method? ��
