    摘要: Methods for creating concentrated plant material solution are disclosed. Some examples include combining at least a concentrated plant material, at least one terpenoid compound, and a solvent to define a mixture; heating the mixture, wherein a temperature of the mixture is heated above a boiling point of the solvent and wherein the temperature of the heated mixture does not exceed a lower one of a boiling point of the concentrated plant material and a boiling point of the at least one terpenoid compound; and maintaining the temperature of the mixture above the boiling point of the solvent and below the lower one of the boiling point of the concentrated plant material and the boiling point of the at least one terpenoid compound until the amount of solvent remaining in the mixture reaches a predetermined concentration level.

    摘要: The disclosed embodiments include systems and methods for the solvent extraction of a substance from a material. The disclosed systems include multiple tanks and an extraction column in communication with the tanks. Solvent transport is accomplished via pressure differentials that are established between or among tanks to cause the solvent to be transported between or among said tanks.

    摘要: A system is provided that includes a solvent source; a canister adapted to contain plant material and positioned downstream of the solvent source; an extract container positioned for receiving and collecting at least a portion of an extract solution from at least the canister, the extract container further positioned to separate at least a portion of the solvent from at least the portion of the extract solution, thereby providing a recycled solvent; a solvent collection line for directing the recycled solvent; and a coolant line positioned for directing coolant that is thermally coupled to at least a portion of the solvent collection line for cooling the recycled solvent that is flowing through the solvent collection line.

    摘要: The disclosed embodiments include systems and methods for the solvent extraction of a substance from a material. The disclosed systems include multiple tanks and an extraction chamber in communication with the tanks. Solvent transport is accomplished by heating and/or cooling selected tanks to cause the solvent to be transported between tanks.

    摘要: A filter apparatus includes an elongated housing with a filter input port to the housing and a filter output port to the housing. A mixture flow path is defined within the housing and extends from the filter input port to the filter output port such that the filter input port is in fluid communication with the output port through the mixture flow path. Two or more filter medium receiving volumes are defined within the housing along the mixture flow path, each filter medium receiving volume configured to receive a filter medium and contain the filter medium in the respective filter medium receiving volume. The filter medium receiving volumes are arranged within the housing such that a total length of the filter medium receiving volumes along a housing longitudinal axis is longer than the length of the housing along the housing longitudinal axis defined by the housing.

    摘要: Systems for extracting solute from a source material are shown and described. Each of the systems includes: a solvent source container configured to store a cooled solvent, a canister configured to contain the source material and receive solvent to produce an extract solution, and one or more extract containers in communication configured to receive and distill the extract solution, the solvent source container being configured to receive a post-extraction portion of the solvent. In some examples, the one or more extract containers are first and second extract containers that are each selectively coupleable to the canister and are selectively removable for storage of the extract mixture or the solute. In some other examples, the system further includes a cooling mechanism coupled to the solvent source container for cooling the recycled solvent within the solvent collection container.
