Question 1

What solvent does the 80.TF Thin Film Distillation use?

Accepted Answer

Distillation does not add a process solvent — it refines crude extract by separating compounds under vacuum at their boiling points. Crude entering the still is normally winterized and decarboxylated upstream.

Question 2

What room classification do I need for the 80.TF Thin Film Distillation?

Accepted Answer

Room classification depends on the solvents present in the room, not on this system alone. Distillation itself introduces no process solvent, so classification follows from the rest of your process and is determined by your facility code review with the local authority having jurisdiction.

Question 3

Can I run the 80.TF Thin Film Distillation 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 80.TF Thin Film Distillation?
