I'm not sure if he is 12 years old or 49, but he sure knows what he's talking about
Definitely a baby egg head look going on, and the over exposed excessive white doesn't help ground the huge head look.

Why is this the first visible comment google?
@@HavanaWoody right?
Well done. Professional and well spoken. Explanations were made easy to understand without going over board in simplicity.
well spoken? After many of his sentences, he uses the word, "RIGHT" and it became a struggle to finish his informative video. Right?
It's nice to hear someone who clearly knows what he's talking about. Thanks.
The music though.. pls no music.
@@catscan8561 saying right sounds like; we discussed this before, right. right? or maybe you forgot. 😁
@@3lo196 actually he has no clue what he is talking about. First you do not need to dissolve the cell structures, instead you break them open using sonication or silicate. Second, when doing large scale, you do not do batches, you do continuous flow systems. A variable geometry auger will compress CO2 to super critical pressures. Third, 5,000 psi is nothing. My engineering apprenticeship was at the company that created waterjets, think 120,000 to 200,000 psi, 25-40 times the pressure he is talking about. Lastly he needs to figure out his solubility issues. Is he looking for polar extraction, non-polar, both, what are the fractions in the solvents at the temp/pressure curve. It really sounds like he is buying equipment in China and rebadging it and marketing it via Google translate.

Good information but also pretty clear this company doesn't supply CO2 equipment, hence the fairly clear bias against CO2 technologies. Its important to remember for ethanol and hydrocarbon extraction that its not only the equipment that has to be build to the explosion safety requirements for the solvent but the entire environment and even the building the equipment is placed in. Although cost of equipment may be lower for ethanol and hydrocarbon extraction systems you may find yourself paying for this in your building design. However, he is correct that even if you use CO2 you will find yourself using large amounts of ethanol during the winterization process so the explosion requirements will likely still apply if you choose CO2 extraction.
Not:, i don't sell equipment I use it, and all technologies have their benefits and drawbacks. I am in R&D for a medicinal cannabis company specializing in the extraction and purification process. Take caution when receiving advice from manufacturers especially if they dont sell the full suite of extraction technologies (CO@, ethanol, hydrocarbon).
Daniel Reason Thanks for your input. Very informative. Which method do you believe is the best for extraction considering yield and cost in mind? (Co2 vs ethanol vs hydrocarbon?). I would love to get your opinion on this. Thanks.
Awesome overview!! This is why Precision is the industry leader in extraction equipment and technology!
Id much rather hear him then the background music :)
Amen!

Please. Put this vídeo again without bg music
Agree
Wow, I just sat and watched the whole 14 mins and found it interesting and learnt some things. This guy is great.
Thank you! Finally a company that cares about this as much as I do. The fact that this company is asking these tough questions that I grill ppl on as a customer is amazing.
I really like how professional this was. A lot of important info that you don't always hear about. Ty.
Right
I think you can learn more about CBD from Weedborn.
Watching this while tripping on acid. Thank you so much for posting this dude. Couldnt imagine how much engineering goes into producing wax. Fascinating
It's rare for a person to have the scientific knowledge and ability that Mr. Tennant has and to also possess the ability to simplify the explanation so that the non-scientist can understand and learn. I was looking for exactly what was presented - what the difference is between CO2 and solvent extraction -- and is CO2 safer. Safer meaning many companies market their CBD saying that CO2 is the safest and all processes with solvents are unsafe because of residuals that are then contained in the final product. Thank you for such an informative presentation and for addressing some of the myths that have been generated in the field.
Now I'm on to learning about Propylene Glycol vs Vegetable Glycol
Callie Ryder Callie Ryder? What is this field they are in? I am interested in pursuing something similar if not this exact profession.
never cut with PG or vegetable oil to make a cart work please! Also co2 always needs alcohol for the winterization process. Co2 and ethanol are both solvents. When done correct solvents like butane are purged and Not detectable
I manage and extract at a lab that does butane/propane , Co2, ethanol and distillate. They all test solvent free when done being processed 🤷♂️. Co2 is great for terps though. For crude it’s just easier to run decarbed material and get better yields and do simple winterize than turn to distillate and re add the Co2 cannabis derived terps. Ethanol takes way more post processing to make into a project. That being said if you can lock water solubles in frozen state at -80+ you can extract ethanol and pull minimal fats and waxes. I’ve made diamonds and sugar wit ethanol that rivals some butane extracts and even had amazing flavor and terps. But I’m a butane guy. Hydrocarbons do better job of grabbing the goods without pulling water solubles like chlorophyll
Right
@@game_train3020 chemistry/ bio chemistry.
is that one off those 4 color pens in your pocket? I always wanted one but was never smart enough....
whats the green one for?
This man gets an A just based on that pen.
fun fact: if u press down all 4 sides ur shlong grows 4 inches for an hour and 9 minutes, but every inch is a different colour of the pen, if you manage to get sloppy toppy in that time you will be granted a key to the city🗝 (only works for guys)
@@dimitrilalli356 this is perhaps the most high comment ive ever run into
BigCatLovesYou agreed
Really clear, thank you. And I love this guy and his four-colour clicky pen.

I think I love you. Thank you for being so concise & education-focused! Very helpful.
Such a great explanation of the extraction process! Thanks!
Very Clear, easy to follow, well-spoken and nicely explained. I enjoyed every minute. Many thanks!
You guys either had a really great video editor or that dude is really knowledgeable in the subject!
Extremely well explained. Thank you
New drinking game... Down a shot every time he says 'right' 🤣
Seriously though,
a: don't try this drinking game; and
b: thanks for the explainer Nick. I like your videos as they have the right balance of geek vs practical, for my tastes anyway.
Great video, a very good sumarize of CO2 and ethanol extraction considering the industry challenges, costs, efficiency and scalable volumes. Thank you .
very clear and professional explanation...thumb up
Great info! Very smart guy, explanations were easy to understand.
Take a hit every time he says "RIGHT"
Right
@@wallyblackler46 took me 2 days to watch the whole vid, but i really enjoyed the journey.
I know right
Hook me up I don't have that much smoke lol
I can't remember what I was watching
Very informative! Thank you for making this video
Hallmark of a good teacher. Excellent !
14 minutes I was happy to spend learning = great job !
Thanks alot for taking the time to educate us....much appreciated
Wow! Nice presentation thanks for the info
good vid dude keep up the good work with more ones on cool things
I was VERY IMPRESSED!
dude in one 14 min vid you explained things that took me a years worth of vid watching thanks and where were you a year ogo
You're very well educated! Hats off! Very well done to teach it. Hope it all results in more than expected!
Thank you Nick- Great job explaining - Can you isolate certain cannabinoids during supercritical extraction or any extraction method like CBGA?
Awesome! Great, simple, explanation!!
That is a massive lab you sir are doing good for yourself...and you do a great job explaining it ...you know what's up
Well spoken, evidently correct. Nice job!
Cool stuff. Thanks.
I use 151 rum to make a cannabis tincture is small personal-size batches. I bake the flowers first before combining with the ethanol in a small pickle jar. The baking, if done correctly, decarboxylates the flowers and gets rid of the chlorophyll. I leave the cannabis in the jar with the ethanol and spoon out whatever dose I desire. When the potency drops, I drain the ethanol and run the leftover plant matter through a potato ricer to extract whatever goodness remains. I used to use 151 Everclear, but I can no longer get that in California.
I have been able to make an ounce of flowers last 16 weeks with this method. Great pain remedy.
Thank's again Nick once again the knowledge is on point 👍👍👍👍👍
Very interesting 🔥 Learned a lot in this video ✊🏼🔥🔥
Nick Tennant is a very impressive young man.
The information was delivered coherently and the complicated processes simplified to a degree that it was easily understandable.
I rarely comment on videos but this presentation was great.
I understand that there are now extractors using Nitrogen as the solvent, any opinions?
We use nitrogen and get about -150 running through, product comes out like clear glass.
Great insight into the industry , Currently extracting via Ethanol and it is great to broaden my knowledge of extraction through this video. Thanks!
Super informative. Thanks for sharing your knowledge..
Great presentation and very informative.
This is the best video I’ve found, I’m in Mexico but is always better to search information in inglish, you explained everything I needed.
I have a doubt, in the video the oil looks thick, if I want to use it in a more liquid form, what solvent can I use or what can I add to the final extraction?
As a ChemE, very well done! Explanations using common language and logic to explain every step.
Ty 4 this lesson brother awesomeness
Very helpful information thank you! truly know your chemistry, very impressive !
I live in southern Oregon would love to work with you guys great video i work at a lab and can educate customers on your equipment hemp is booming here in southern Oregon
Great Nick. a lot of misconception of ethanol as solvent has been nicely addressed.

Well Done Perfect explanation !!
As far as the common misconception regarding residual butane in the final product... Wouldn't it be possible that impurities from that butane would still be in the final product? What if there are impurities in the butane which are not capable of evaporating at the same temperatures used in the purging process?
Great video. Thanks
Very informative. which is the best method for producing crystal resistant?
Absolutely awesome video. Thank you so much for clearing the air around what's safe to use for extraction. Im just a personal home grown operation for medical purposes. But make a lot of concentrate for my daily use.& have always highly believed in high quality food grade N Tane ( butane ) with purging as you have mentioned I always come out with an extremely high quality product that tastes amazing. Great video.. please keep educating. Its like u said everyone wants to sell a new product with lots of misleading info.
butane is nice but i prefer Dimethylether. you definitely should taste it.
Gonna be trying this summer, great info here! Thanks bud!
One question. . Would kerosene work as a solvent? Perhaps it's not clean enough, just cheap and easy to get
love it
really interesting stuff! what did you study in just out of curiosity?
Very informative.thanks
Right on Right on!!! Great video sir!!
Fantastic video. This was food for my brain.
The best video I have seen on this subject
What is the temperature needed for supercritical extraction?
Great talk. Thanks
I have a question, in the machine they put the whole cannabis plant or they only add certain parts of the plant such as the leaves.
Curious, if the pressure was ramped up to 6000 what the return would be?
Thanks man good video great product.
Any traning program is going on ? I would like to get training for extraction please provide detail
Right
Bro your videos are so helpful
Although CO2 is a safer medium (being non-flammable), I find that using excellent ventilation and glass containers for collection that butane is better for the extraction. A simple rig made of thick glass or PVC to hold the cannabis, coffee, sassafras root or vanilla beans for extraction is cost effective and easy to maintain and produces a pure product with good flavor.
What are you doing with sassafras root?
They probably make MDA lol
Great info!
Great informational video! How do you chill the ethanol to -40 C? Cold rooms?
Easiest is staged chilling, -40C to -86C freezers
We use a deep freezer
Nice. Good job... Thank you...
Hello, thank you for the interesting video, i want to know about your method for decarbing an extract, thanks again
Right
Excellent, science-founded information. Thank you very much 👍👏👏👏
great video!
well spoken! great info
How can I get -100 degrees F? Peltier? Most hvac compressor oil won't work that cold.
Excellent presentation.
Great explanation
Does the pentane prevent or solve the CBD crystallization issues? If yes, how so?
Great Information...Thank You!!
Very informative... Thx
HUGE THANK YOU
Would transesterification solve the the ethanol problem in your opinion ? As in removing trace solvent from the end product ?
Most extractors take the path of least resistance. Because almost all oil is decarboxylated post primary extraction, the low residual ethanol is chalked up as a loss and evaporated during decarb. This would make transesterification potentially viable but unpractical for this application.

Does the long cycle start to break down the chlorophyll?
Thank you so very much!
I’m planning on launching a cbd oil company. I’m a budding student ready to start a business. But, can someone tell me which mode of extraction will be best suitable for it!?
I was just diagnosed with head and neck cancer for the second time. I am rejecting medical methods this time around. I am going to attempt to shrink my tumor naturally and at least maintain a quality of life that will not be possible if I were to go through the surgical plan they laid out for me. I need help finding researchers and organizations that might aid me in my battle against cancer. I have an incredible will. I just need a little direction and support. Any suggestions or contacts you could recommend would be a great comfort. I am at the beginning of this journey, I was diagnosed on the 19th of July. I am open to all suggestions. Thank you, you do amazing work.
Wow Jessie has stepped up his game Big Time ;)
Interesting concept , chilled Alcohol as a solvent.
I used to build Ultra Low Temp liquid chillers for PC overclocking. loved it so much I took 2 years of HVAC during collage.
Ironically my prefered coolants were Methanol for below -60f, and Ethanol between -60 to -0 as its not toxic like the Methy.
Still have a bunch of new unopened Copeland 1/3 HP R410a compressors w condenser's, TXV's, All Brass Taco- circulating pumps, flow sensors etc.
Maybe I should build/sell some for this instead HRMMMM...seriously.
Nicks the man!
Right? Lol, very interesting video! Thank you for the information!
Right, right?
Right count: over 5000

drove me crazy
You're not bothered, right?
over 5000 psi* :P
