Abstract
An apparatus and method for removing a compound from a solution are disclosed. The apparatus includes a vessel, a solution heater, and an aeration device, wherein the solution heater and the aeration device are connected to the vessel. The solution is contained in the vessel and heated by the solution heater. The aeration device provides aeration to the heated solution for agitating the heated solution, and the component is thereby removed from the solution.
Claims28
An apparatus for converting and thus removing a component from a full spectrum cannabis oil, the apparatus comprising:
- a vessel for containing the full spectrum cannabis oil;
- a solution heater connected to or in contact with the vessel for heating the full spectrum cannabis oil;
- and
- an aeration device connected to the vessel for providing aeration to the heated full spectrum cannabis oil;
- wherein the heated full spectrum cannabis oil is agitated by the aeration and the component is thereby converted and thus removed therefrom;
- wherein the aeration device comprises:
- (1) at least one aeration pipe disposed in the vessel;
- (2) a gas source in fluid connection with the at least one aeration pipe for providing a gas;
- (3) a gas heater disposed between the gas source and the at least one aeration pipe for heating the gas before introducing the gas into the at least one aeration pipe;
- and (4) a temperature sensor disposed between the gas heater and the at least one aeration pipe for controlling a temperature of the heated gas;
- and
- wherein the component is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
A method for converting and thus removing a component from a full spectrum cannabis oil, the method comprising:
- disposing the full spectrum cannabis oil in a vessel;
- heating the full spectrum cannabis oil with a solution heater;
- and
- aerating the heated full spectrum cannabis oil by an aeration device to agitate the heated full spectrum cannabis oil, and thereby the component is converted and thus removed therefrom;
- wherein the component is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
A cannabis oil processing system comprising:
- a full spectrum cannabis oil;
- a vessel for containing the full spectrum cannabis oil;
- a solution heater connected to or in contact with the vessel for heating the full spectrum cannabis oil;
- and
- an aeration device connected to the vessel for providing aeration to the full spectrum cannabis oil;
- wherein the heated full spectrum cannabis oil is agitated by the aeration and a component is thereby converted and thus removed therefrom;
- and
- wherein the component is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
A method for converting and thus removing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) from a full spectrum cannabis oil, the method comprising:
- heating the full spectrum cannabis oil to a temperature ranging from 40° C. to 90° C.;
- and
- aerating the heated full spectrum cannabis oil with a gas preheated to a temperature ranging from 145° C. to 200° C. to agitate the heated full spectrum cannabis oil, thereby converting and thus removing THC therefrom.
