Traditional solvent recovery methods involve high energy consumption to heat the miscella and subsequently cool the vapors for solvent condensation. This results in significant electrical costs over time, especially for large falling film evaporators that can incur tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in energy expenses alone. Organic Solvent Nanofiltration (OSN) offers a low-energy alternative for ethanol recovery that is rapid, safe, and efficient, all while preventing excessive heat exposure to the product.
OSN operates similar to reverse osmosis, utilizing specially designed filtration membranes with precise pore sizes. In solvent recovery applications, these pores allow only ethanol to pass through, while in dewaxing/depigmentation applications, they accommodate the passage of solvent, terpenes, and cannabinoids. Through the application of pressure, osmotic forces are overcome, enabling swift concentration of the miscella.
An additional advantage of this process is that it generates minimal heat. Consequently, solvent recovery can be achieved without decarboxylation of the target cannabinoids, facilitating large-scale production of high-quality shatters and crumbles from cold-ethanol extractors.
