The present invention provides a novel room-temperature extraction
system and method for
cannabis and hemp, utilizing custom membrane
filtration to efficiently isolate cannabinoids, terpenes, and other bioactive compounds while reducing
energy consumption. This multi-stage
system begins with a custom milling
machine that preprocesses
biomass by separating non-target components, such as
cellulose-rich stalks, to improve extraction efficiency. The core extraction process employs a series of custom membranes designed to selectively filter cannabinoids and terpenes, minimizing impurities without the need for traditional sub-zero cooling. Each membrane stage incorporates
solvent recovery to recycle
ethanol, reducing waste and
operational costs. In the final stage, a custom
concentrator removes residual
ethanol, decarboxylates THCa to THC, and crystallizes sugars to prevent downstream clogging. This room-temperature extraction
system significantly enhances yield, purity, and
sustainability, making it a scalable and cost-
effective solution for
cannabis and hemp
processing industries, as well as applicable for pharmaceutical and
nutraceutical uses.
