Embark Health Inc. has secured a 40,000 square foot facility minutes from downtown Vancouver.
In addition to being a production hub for Embark’s seven extraction modalities, the proposed design for this facility will include quality assurance and formulations labs.
Exceptional Quality + Purity
Our approach is to work with growers and suppliers of exceptional quality. Our extraction process involves the removal of undesirable compounds, while preserving the active terpenes and cannabinoids of the original plant. Embark’s state of the art facility will be able to provide superior purity and exceptional quality with the following extraction methods in its quiver of capabilities: Ultrasonic Cryo Ethanol, CO2, Whistler Technologies Ice Water, Steam Vac Distillation, Hydrocarbon and Rosin Press.
Embark’s plan is to produce CO2 Isolate along with CO2 Shatter, HTE and Crumble.
The Quiver of Capabilities
01
ULTRASONIC CRYO ETHANOL
Produces full spectrum oil which can then be run through molecular distillation and processed into distillate for THC or CBD distillate or be further processed into isolated, pure cannabinoids (CBD). In the Embark lab we have the capacity of 7500 lbs per day, input biomass 95% plus extraction efficiency, 500L per hour or solvent recovery, less than 2% ethanol left in biomass implementing the largest turn key system available.
02
CO2 EXTRACTION METHODS
Produces oils that can be processed in an abundance of textures: HTE, Shatter, Isolate, Wax, Sap, Pen Oil, Dust, Crumble. Advanced extraction allows Fractional isolation of cannabinoids, separating cannabinoids from terpene oils, and fractional Isolation of isotopes of cannabinoids. Embark Methods: Super Critical CO2 (SFE), Subcritical CO2 (SBE), Expanded Carbon Hybrid (CXE), Super Fluid Chromatography (SFC).
03
ICE WATER EXTRACTION
Trichome Isolation Centre: this will be an ice water hash and dry sift processing facility: with the intention of being one of the largest ice water extraction systems in Canada.
04
STEAM VAC DISTILLATION
Unique access to terpene profiles, offers increased purity: clean, unadulterated terpene extraction, gentler form of extraction.
05
HYDROCARBON EXTRACTION
Our hydrocarbon extraction methods involve the use of propane and/or butane as the solvent to extract the concentrate immediately following harvest of flowers.
This cold extraction method leaves little or no hydrocarbon residue when properly utilized. At the end of the extraction process, the resulting clean extract contains very high levels of cannabinoids and terpenes. The highly concentrated extract is then used to create products such as HTE high terpene extract, diamonds, shatter and live resin oils.
06
ROSIN PRESS
Extraction of terpene rich cannabinoids via heat and pressure to make a premium solventless oil for multi-purpose use, efficient, fully automated systems.
07
DRY SIFT
Tricrome isolation: mechanically separated glandular trichome heads, aka dry sift or hash provide full spectrum flavour, with minimal processing. Low temp ultrasound sieving grades glands into favourite gland sizes (73, 90,120um) while Electostatic separation cleans contaminate from dry sift.
