Do you want to own your own manufacturing facility?

If you plan on starting a legal extraction company, you should be prepared for the complicated application process that you are likely to experience from state and local officials. Regulations haunt business owners, but we are here to help! Before you get started, here are our tips on how to build your legal extraction operation:

Plan and prepare first

If you want to avoid falling flat on your face, you should take every step to ensure that you have researched everything there is to know about opening up an extraction operation. First and foremost, you should start by finding out the requirements of your state. If you are using volatile solvents or ethanol, you should look into purchasing a C1D1 Extraction Booth. NFPA 1 Chapter 38, IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY, YOU SHOULD BUY AND READ NFPA 1, outlines the fire codes for these kinds of labs and require a dedicated extraction room.

Some of the other components that you will need to plan and prepare for include:

• Securing a location that will pass all the zoning laws so that it can be both approved by the state and your city.
• Getting trained and being fully comprehending in seed to sale compliance is extremely vital for anyone that intends to work in the oil business
• Finding a space that can be modified to suit the extraction process. You should think long-term when it comes to finding a location as the extraction process is always evolving.
• Consulting with an extraction and distillation consultant can help you make the most viable decisions for the success of your business
• Buying equipment and an extraction booth that is not only compliant, but effective. Getting the throughput you desire is important.

Pick the best extraction method

The extraction method that you select may not even be up to you as the state may already have rules in place. For instance, some states prohibit hydrocarbons while others restrict the use of the CO2. Generally, you will have to choose between solvent and non-solvent methods so you should know your options before you make the wrong decision.
