How to Recover Medical Cannabis/Hemp Oil Waste

The cultivation and distribution of medical cannabis is a booming industry, but the solvents used in the extraction process tend to be expensive; Amongst the other overheads, legislation, regulations and standards it can be a costly operation to maintain and run, being able to recycle and reuse these expensive chemical solvents allows manufacturers to reduce costs.

We have a solution, we provide Cannabis & Hemp processors for THC & CBD oils with our solvent recycling & recovery equipment which can reduce your solvent expenditure by up to 95%, in addition to reducing your hazardous waste dramatically. The majority of the solvents used in the extraction process (from propane to ethanol, to butane to isopropyl alcohol) can be reused and recycled using Maratek’s solvent recycling & recovery equipment.

With Maratek solvent recyclers, polluted waste solvent streams can be recycled both efficiently and economically, using batch solvent distillation methods, operating one cycle at a time.

Our Solvent Saver units have been designed for ease of use and require minimal to no manual labor, with our larger gallon models having unique features.

We use the proven process of distillation to separate and recycle the solvents, which is started by the feeding of waste into the distillation vessel which is then fitted with a thermal oil heating jacket. Depending on size, a number of electric heaters bring each component in the waste solvent to boiling point, creating solvent vapors that are funnelled into an air cooled condenser, cooling the vapors to liquid; The liquid is then placed into clean solvent drums allowing it to be reused.

Aside from the major cost reduction there is a variety of different benefits to the recycling of solvents for a legal cannabis/hemp producer:

• Reduction of hazardous waste
• Minimal labor required
• Time saving and increased efficiency
• Complies with standards and regulations
• Quick return on investment
