CBD Oil from HEMP in One Continuous Process

In support of the growing global demand for Hemp-based products, Sep-Pro Systems Inc. has partnered with industry thought leaders to engineer and design a solution that turns HEMP into CBD oil at a fraction of the cost of other separation methodologies.

The skid-based Sep-Pro H500 converts HEMP into CBD oil using a Pyrolysis conversion process at a rate of 500 pounds of raw plant matter per day.  The raw HEMP is added in bulk and then undergoes a pyrolysis reaction where it’s heated to an extremely high temperature to enable separation of the biological components. Next, it passes through a cooling step that separates the char and THC from the HEMP. Then gasses and other materials are removed from the biological material through a proprietary separation process, leaving pure Cannabinoid CBD oil as the end result.

The Sep-Pro Biomass solution is a complete, continuous process that can convert HEMP into CBD oil around the clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at a rate of up to 20,000 pounds of HEMP per day. As long as the raw materials are added to one end and the system is powered “on”, the CBD oil comes out the other end. It’s that simple.

Like all other gasification methods, pyrolysis reduces carbon emissions.  Pyrolysis, however, is a greener, thermal decomposition process that occurs in absence of any medium such as oxygen or steam.  This means there’s no waste to deal with like ethanol and other hydrocarbons and no other materials required during the process. And compared to other methods for CBD extraction including CO2 and Ethanol, pyrolysis provides a foundation for lower cost and lower contamination risk production of CBD oil.

The skid-based Sep-Pro C50L skips the pyrolysis conversion steps for CBD oil production directly from a raw crude oil feed, such as Ethanol extraction preparations. By bypassing the pyrolysis reactions, all that’s left is distillation, separation, and extraction of the CBD oil. This flexible design can be scaled to handle just about any volume of input feed required.
