MJBizDaily Buyers Guide Cannabis Extraction

On the other hand, marijuana has more processing options, although he prefers BHO extraction because it favors the whole plant process desirable in the medical marijuana market. “Marijuana is a more high-quality feedstock. It’s almost a shame to run it through the ethanol process,” Flippo said.
WHAT HAPPENS POST-EXTRACTION? Once extraction is finished, consider what happens next. There’s a lot involved in the “cleanup chemistry,” Geisleman said. Extractors need filtration media to remove pesticides and heavy metals if that is a concern. For some hemp products, THC must be removed. Remember to consider the costs and space requirements for all of this equipment. “What kind of filtration media are you going to need? Are you going to winterize, and what does that look like? You’ll need large freezers and all of that,” Geisleman said. “Are you going to extract just oil? What’s your next step? Where’s that space going to go?” Geisleman also recommends completing the first round of your compliance testing in-house before you go to third-party verification, to better control the timeliness of the process. “If you’re going to rely on a third-party, that could be a week —or 12 weeks —for results,” she said.
