What are modular extraction booths?

Modular extraction booths are used mainly for plant extracts. In plants, for example, modular booths are used to extract the compounds from plant through propane, butane and an assortment of other hydrocarbons and other solvents.

Although the extraction process sounds simple enough, it is actually complicated and dangerous because the extraction systems can be flammable. The use of flammable solvents like butane further heightens the risk of extraction where things like vacuum ovens are involved. When the THC is extracted, it is then directed into a vacuum oven so that the remaining contaminants are removed which will result in the final concentrated sugar, wax or shatter form that many people know today. Some municipalities require these ovens to be in a classified location.
