My name is Jean chief development officer here Captain systems and I’m the inventor of the eco systems.

eco systems, our laboratory scale extraction of eroticism that allow you to go from plant material to extremely pure extract relatively quick.

We use a solvent that is ethanol. The beauty of the ecosystems is that allows us to manipulate the temperature and maintain a certain temperature during the extraction process, which in turn, lets the ethanol behave less polar so we are not drawing unnecessary constituents out of the plant material. We’re only isolating and selectively picking up THC, minor cannabinoids, terrapins and basically everything that you want and leaving behind anything that you don’t.

We watch the plant material over and over and over by recirculating the solution so

Ethanol goes into the extraction vessel from then it will be pulled into a collection vessel inside the machine preserving its temperature and then we recycle it over several times it’s very gentle process and that gives us the best result.

It’s anywhere between negative 75 degrees Celsius and negative 50 degrees Celsius. So very cool. I wouldn’t touch anything inside. Once the machine is on. It will burn Yeah.

We have three main solvents currently on the market hydrocarbons which butane propane, co2, and then ethanol. We knew that butane is not going to be something that we want to play with the co2. It’s not very selective. So it picks up everything in that plant, primarily fats and waxes. It’s like 30% fats and then maybe 50% cannabinoids. Now if we want to take that up to purity of 80% you have to remove those waxes we would still then have to wash that extract in ethanol.

And therefore we can no longer claim that this is a co2 extract. I mean, in good faith, we put a lot of companies out there do that they put co2 extract on the box, none of the consumers know that that’s already been refined with ethanol. So to us, it was a no brainer, why ethanol.

The end product that comes out of the ether was actually a solution. So it’s a combination of the ethanol and the oils that have been washed off the plant material. Past the ethos, there’s what’s called the reduction face to where we reduce the solution to a concentrated form. So that oil, you can go ahead and smoke now would be your shatter that could be or wax. That’s not your go to product. Then it goes to distillation. You collect just the THC and from there on, you could make endless variety of products.

The amount of material the throughput that the system offers with the amount of power that it consumes, it was just it was mind blowing to a lot of the customers. It feels great, you know, for any inventor to

get good feedback is very humbling.
