Solvent-Based Cannabis Extraction:

Hydrocarbon Extraction: Hydrocarbons like butane and propane are commonly used for cannabis extraction. These solvents efficiently extract essential oils from the plant material. Butane and propane are considered safe for this purpose due to their high efficacy, and low toxicity risk.

Alcohol Extraction: Alcohol-based solvents, such as isopropyl alcohol and ethyl alcohol (ethanol), are also used. However, they are less specific in action and may dissolve pigments and waxes along with the target extract.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Enrichment for Plant Growth:

Increasing and maintaining carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in cannabis grow rooms and greenhouses accelerates yields by 10-25%.

CO2 enrichment enhances photosynthesis, resulting in more frequent harvests and increased profits.

Supercritical CO2 Extraction:

This method uses pressurized carbon dioxide (CO2) to dissolve plant material and separate compounds like cannabinoids.

The material is then released into a separate vessel, where heat and pressure encourage the cannabis compounds to separate from the CO2.
