CBD oil is distilled using a process called short path distillation.
This method involves heating the winterized and decarboxylated CBD oil in a round bottom flask.
The oil is then vaporized and collected on a chilled condenser.
The process is designed to separate and purify the CBD oil from other compounds and solvents.
4 Key Steps to Achieving Purity in CBD Oil Distillation
1. Preparation of CBD Oil
Before distillation, the CBD oil undergoes winterization and decarboxylation.
Winterization removes fats and waxes.
Decarboxylation activates the CBD by heating it to a specific temperature.
2. Distillation Setup
The prepared CBD oil is placed in a round bottom flask.
This flask is equipped with a heating mantle that heats the oil to vaporize the volatile components.
3. Vaporization and Collection
Once heated, the volatile components of the CBD oil vaporize.
They travel a short path to a chilled condenser.
The condenser cools the vapors, causing them to condense back into a liquid form.
The purified CBD oil is then collected.
4. Purification
This distillation process is crucial for removing any remaining solvents, impurities, and other compounds that may be present in the oil.
It ensures that the final product is highly pure and suitable for various CBD products.
Control Parameters
The distillation process requires precise control over temperature, pressure, and the rate at which the CBD oil is fed into the system.
These parameters are adjusted to ensure the highest quality and purity of the CBD distillate.
Technological Advancements
Modern distillation equipment often includes features such as GMP compliance, reduced maintenance, automation, and integrated continuous solvent recovery.
These features enhance the efficiency and purity of the distillation process.
