Alcohol Extraction

Cryogenic 45L Centrifuge Extractor Kit EXPECT 3-WEEK LEADTIME Cryogenic 45L Centrifuge Extractor Kit Overview: The BVV Cryogenic 45L Centrifuge Extractor Kit is a modular closed loop alcohol extraction system with low temperature extraction in mind. It features low temperature rated (-60°C) components including PTFE envelope gaskets, pneumatic diaphragm pumps and cryogenic rated ball valves for longevity. The centrifuge controller and motor are EX rated and come with supporting documents making it easier to get approved for operation. Load centrifuge bags with 8-15lb (10lb avg.) biomass and line them up for an efficient extraction process. This system makes repeatability easier by letting the operator control extraction parameters including soak/agitation time, spin dry time, target alcohol temperature, and different pore material bags and filtration socks in our Pressure Filtration System (PFS). The system also allows operators to re-direct the first wash back to the holding vessel to re-chill if needed and go for a second extraction. This allows full use of alcohol’s extraction ability and minimize time spent recovering solvent in a rotary evaporator or falling film. Users will have to dial in their parameters and washes based on biomass potency. Low temperature extraction leads to less refinement after the extraction process. Inline PFS allows for fine particulate refinement down to 1µm. Higher potency will require further post processing for the removal of unwanted compounds.

BVV 6" Turnkey Falling Film Evaporator Cutsheet     Is your lab floor filled with a fleet of rotary evaporators? Looking to increase solvent recovery throughput? Our new and compact 20GPH Falling Film Evaporator (FFE) has the capability to maximize throughput and replace up to five 50L Rotary Evaporators. The BVV™ 20GPH Falling Film Evaporator is designed to evaporate ethanol that has been diluted in crude oil during a filtration or extraction process. By reducing the vapor pressure inside the system and metering the injection valve, the user can set the heat exchangers to the appropriate temperatures to efficiently evaporate solvent from their crude oil. We paired our FFE with reliable equipment that will keep operations running. End users are required to plumb the process inlet and outlet connections for both heat exchangers. They are supplied with 1.5” sanitary tri-clamp connections. BVV™ can assist with necessary parts needed for a permanent or temporary installation. Temporary installations may be necessary if your lab has limited fume hoods or space which is shared with other processing equipment. Below you will find key features, additional equipment included with the system and the power requirements for each, and real-life efficiencies that were tested. Key Features: · Compact rack design for use in fume hoods (39”x30”x75.5”) · Vernier scale metering valve for controlled injection · Accurate heater and chiller temperature control · Deep vacuum for effective solvent removal · Discharge pumps to eliminate constant reservoir draining and down time · Chemical resistant vacuum pump · Adaptable discharge outlets to customer preference · Insulation to limit thermal loses and reduce condensation (Not Pictured) · Sanitary tri-clamp and compression fittings · Pre-heat injection coil · Injection distribution plate · Tube in shell heat exchanger for efficient evaporation and condensation · Packable vapor path for reduction of contaminants and cleaner separation · Water reservoir for priming the heating system and expansion during operation · The certified model is 22 State certified by PRV Engineers  and includes an Infield Verification by PRV Engineers within the purchase price.

Solvent Recovery Kit - 2 Gallon The BVV Solvent Recovery Kit makes it easy for anyone to recover and reuse their extraction solvent. The kit uses a vacuum pump to lower the boiling point of the solvent, then will use a cooling source such as ice or dry ice to turn the vaporized solvent back into liquid form. This kit has a few different seals, be sure that all materials are compatible with your solvent. These materials include: Viton (FKM) Silicone EPDM / Butyl Please verify before using that all these materials are compatible with your solvent. For an easy resistance chart please visit the Cole Parmer link below: https://www.coleparmer.com/chemical-resistance What's included: No Pump   BVV-2G Condensing Coil Hosing Glass Vacuum Chamber Lids/hardware Receiving Vessel Chamber Air Inlet Filter Evaporating Vessel Induction Heating Plate With Pump   BVV-2G-V40   Condensing Coil Hosing Glass Vacuum Chamber Lids/hardware Receiving Vessel Chamber Air Inlet Filter Evaporating Vessel Induction Heating Plate Chemically Resistant Vacuum Pump No Evap/ Pump   BVV-2G-NEV Condensing Coil Hosing Glass Vacuum Chamber Lids/hardware Receiving Vessel Chamber Air Inlet Filter Evaporating Vessel LID with Universal Gasket       *NOTE: This option will fit any pot with an outer diameter of 6.5" - 10.5"    Not included in the kit, you will need: Ice Tray Ice Bucket Ice or dry ice A 5 gallon bucket and disposable aluminum catering tray will suffice, however a container with a drain plug or valve would be ideal to easily drain the water produced throughout the process. This kit requires a vacuum pump to operate, we would recommend a chemically resistant diaphragm vacuum pump. We include a 1/4" JIC and 1/4" barb connection to connect to your vacuum pump. The included hosing is 1/4" ID Tygon tubing to easily attach to a barbed vacuum pump.   Running the Unit Caution: Unit uses flammable solvents. Use caution while operating unit. ALWAYS OPERATE IN EXTREMELY WELL VENTILATED AREAS Place your solution into the Evaporating Vessel. This can be done by: removing the lid and pouring the solution into the vessel Using the vacuum pump to suck the liquid mixture through the Liquid Inlet Port. Using this method, you can use a Micro-Cap filter in-line to remove solid particulate. Close the Liquid Inlet Port valve and Air Inlet valve Add ice to the bucket and tray. A drain valve built in to the ice bucket and tray would help to drain water later in the test. Open the Vacuum Pump valve and turn on the Vacuum Pump Turn on the Heat Plate. An induction heating plate is recommended Replace ice as needed throughout the run When recovery is completed, close the Vacuum Pump valve and turn off the Vacuum Pump. Open the Air Inlet valve and release the vacuum pressure from the chamber. Use the included micron filter to prevent contaminants from entering the vessel. Turn off the Heat Plate and allow the solute in the Evaporating Vessel to come down to a safe temperature. Removing the solute is easiest when it is still warm. Remove the solvent from the Receiving Vessel. Once the kit is cooled down, use clean ethanol to wipe down the sealing surfaces for the next run.
