A closed-loop system utilizes butane as a solvent to separate desirable compounds from plant material. This equipment typically involves a column packed with the botanical source, through which liquefied butane is passed. The solvent dissolves target compounds, resulting in a solution that is then separated and refined to isolate the extract. This process is commonly employed for extracting botanical oils and concentrates.
This technology offers advantages in efficiency and selectivity, enabling the production of high-quality extracts with specific compositions. Its development represents a significant advancement in extraction methodology, offering a more precise and controlled alternative to traditional methods. The ability to finely tune the extraction parameters allows for consistent results and maximizes the yield of desired compounds while minimizing unwanted byproducts.
