LJ Star
LJ Star manufactures the No. 1 selling fused sight glass window, installed in more plants around the world than any other brand.
The cannabis oil extraction process poses significant challenges, involving extreme temperatures, high pressures, and the use of flammable solvents like ethanol or butane. Yet operators must maintain clear visibility into the extraction equipment to observe factors such as color or clarity that indicate the extraction is proceeding as intended—without putting workers at risk.
LJ Star offers sight glass systems and components engineered for these demanding conditions, providing reliable process observation solutions for the cannabis industry.
Our unique combination of metal and glass formulas makes Metaglas sight glasses 4.5x stronger than comparable products. The results are superior safety, a wider operating range, and a long, worry-free service life.
Products include:
- Sanitary and industrial process connections
- Visual flow indicators
- Sight glass lights
- Process vessel cameras
- Hygienic bubble traps
- Gauge glass
- Sight glass accessories
Macurco
Macurco is the leading supplier of fixed gas detection for the Cannabis Grow industry. The key applications for gas detection CO2 and Combustible Gas. Current cultivation methods of cannabis and industrial hemp utilize Carbon Dioxide (CO2) enrichment to increase plant growth and development. CO2 is classified as an asphyxiant gas, which can potentially reduce or displace normal Oxygen concentrations in the air.
CO2 can be stored as liquefied compressed gas in vacuum-jacketed cryogenic liquid cylinders or steel or aluminum cylinders.
It can also be produced onsite by Carbon Dioxide generators. If CO2 is generated using fossil fuel combustion, Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) can be produced. Both CO and NO2 are toxic gases that can cause significant health effects or even death for exposed individuals.
The two categories regarding gas detection include explosion/fire fueled by combustible gases and asphyxiation due to Oxygen (O2) displacement from Carbon Dioxide (CO2) leaks. The choices involving the source of CO2 can impact what is needed to properly design a Life Safety System. If the release of a hazardous or combustible gas can cause immediate harm to a person or property, a means to mitigate the gas should be provided. Combustible liquids and compressed gases used in extraction or processing in these facilities should be vented in accordance with International Fire and Mechanical Codes. Utilizing a gas detection system can activate an exhaust system and shut down the extraction process to prevent a dangerous event.
CBD Concentrate is produced by extracting cannabinoids from the cannabis plant. The solvent-based concentrate is the most common, and the process involves passing gas through a solvent extraction device filled with cannabis plant matter.
Commonly used combustible gas solvents include Butane (C4H10), Propane (C3H8), Hexane (C6H14), and Ethanol (C2H6O).
Hypercritical (Carbon Dioxide) CO2 is another rising popular solvent, which adds the risk of asphyxiation to the extraction process.
Macurco Gas Detection equipment will detect gas, provide visual and audible alarms, and can control appliances to mitigate the gas before reaching hazardous levels. Commonly controlled equipment includes ventilation systems and mechanical interlocks that shut down the flow of gas to the unit when gas is detected. Additional audible and visual alarms can also be controlled to alert occupants of unsafe levels.
The 2018 edition of the NFPA Fire Code will likely have a chapter on fire safety for the cannabis industry. Regulation and enforcement of handling hazardous gases may vary by state, so be sure to consult your Fire Marshall or AHJ for local requirements.
