CBD Processing and extraction

CO2 extraction allows you to create pure, clean, quality oil that is safe to produce with little to no post processing.  Processes that use toxic solvents may require many hours to purge the solvent trapped in the oil making it less efficient in getting your products to market.  Multiple industries have proven that the highest efficiencies in commercial processing utilize CO2. 

CO2 extraction does more than guarantee fresh CBD oil, it creates supercritical extraction which is an environmentally friendly, safe, clean method as opposed to using other solvents.  Carbon dioxide is a gas however, depending on the temperature it can change to a liquid or a solid.  The process of changing carbon dioxide from a gas to a liquid is called the supercritical process. 

When CO2 becomes a supercritical liquid, it can pass through porous solids and dissolve materials. When supercritical CO2 is extracted from hemp, the maximum amount of CBD is drawn without any unwanted byproducts such as chlorophyll.  The supercritical extraction process is also one of the safest methods.  Carbon dioxide acts as a solvent and is safer than flammable solvents such as butane and hexane.  AG Essence's team of scientists have a depth of knowledge and experience in the supercritical extraction process.  How can we help you create marketable CBD products? 

AG Essence's wiped film distillation process provides the gentlest separations of materials high in boiling point, molecular weight, heat sensitivity, and viscosity.  The highest quality product is enabled by high vacuum capability and short heat exposure time.  One of the biggest advantages of this method is the reduced exposure  to heat.  As a quicker method of distillation, the wiped film process uses a reduced  boiling point of a substances created by reducing the operating pressure.  Such a reduction in the boiling point allows for thermal separation of products without thermal degradation.  Contact us today to learn more about our clean, safe, quick and environmentally friendly way of bringing CBD products from concept to reality!
