Question 1

What solvent does the 20.DR Decarboxylation Reactor use?

Accepted Answer

Decarboxylation does not use a process solvent — it converts acidic cannabinoids such as THCA and CBDA into their neutral, active forms with controlled time and temperature.

Question 2

What room classification do I need for the 20.DR Decarboxylation Reactor?

Accepted Answer

Room classification depends on the solvents present in the room, not on this system alone. Where residual solvent is still being driven off, that factors into your facility code review with the local authority having jurisdiction.

Question 3

Can I run the 20.DR Decarboxylation Reactor in an EU GMP facility?

Accepted Answer

GMP — including EU GMP — is a facility and process standard: it applies to the building, the procedures, the documentation and the people together, and no extraction system carries a GMP certification on its own. Whether a system helps or hinders an EU GMP programme comes down to its material selection, hygienic design and the qualification documentation available for it. Contact Decimal Engineering to discuss configuration options for your facility.

Question 4

What documentation comes with the 20.DR Decarboxylation Reactor?

Accepted Answer

A current specification sheet for the 20.DR Decarboxylation Reactor is available from Decimal Engineering on request, and customers receive access to a standard operating procedure (SOP) library for their equipment. Documentation packages to support IQ/OQ/PQ and facility turnover are available; scope varies by model and configuration.
