SolvTrue™ S-Series Solvent Recyclers: A Smarter Way to Recover and Reuse Industrial Solvents

Image
  Solvents are essential to countless industrial processes. From cleaning precision components and removing coatings to printing, painting, degreasing and additive manufacturing, they help facilities complete everyday production tasks efficiently. The challenge begins after those solvents have been used. Contaminated solvent is often collected as waste and replaced with newly purchased material. For operations that use significant amounts of solvent, this repeated purchase-use-dispose cycle can contribute to rising material costs, waste volumes and disposal requirements. But used solvent does not always have to reach the end of its useful life after a single process. The SolvTrue™ S-Series Solvent Recyclers from CBG Biotech use simple distillation to separate recoverable solvents from contaminants, allowing suitable solvent to be reused in industrial processes. Depending on the application and waste stream, S-Series systems can recover up to 95% of industrial solvents. F...

How Cannabis Ethanol Extraction Improves Oil Processing and Ethanol Recovery

Image
Cannabis and hemp processing requires more than simply separating desirable compounds from plant material. Commercial processors also need to consider consistency, throughput, solvent management, purification and the amount of manual handling required throughout production. For operations using ethanol, bringing these stages together can make the overall extraction process more efficient and manageable. Cannabis ethanol extraction is widely used to process cannabis and hemp biomass because ethanol can effectively carry cannabinoids and other desirable compounds from plant material. When extraction is combined with controlled purification, distillation and ethanol recovery, processors can create a more streamlined workflow while recovering solvent for reuse.   Modern ethanol extraction systems can integrate several stages that traditionally require separate pieces of equipment. This approach can help processors reduce unnecessary material transfers, improve process control an...
