NEW CASTLE, Del., June 18, 2020 -PRESS RELEASE- AgroRefiner, LLC announced today that it has commenced commercial operation of the first phase of a commercial scale, ethanol-based cannabidiol (CBD) extraction facility.
AgroRefiner will produce a range of organic CBD products using organically grown hemp procured from farms employing sustainable farming practices. The product line-up will include THC-free distillate, isolate, CBN and CBD A.
The facility, located in Delaware, employs a hemp extraction and distillation sequence developed for AgroRefiner by consulting chemical engineer Mark Scialdone, Ph. D. AgroRefiner says its automated extraction facility utilizes the first circulating ethanol, closed loop design for CBD production.
