Liquid Pressurized Gases are commonly used across many industries, including Cannabis and Hemp Extraction. These solvents offer many manufacturing advantages, but also raise important safety concerns for employers, employees, regulatory officials and local fire departments. These concerns can be mitigated by responsible use, storage, and transport of these solvents by well trained personnel. This presentation will discuss training methods, national fire codes, local fire authority resources and general safety recommendations from equipment manufacturers and solvent suppliers.
This session objective is to provide an introductory look at the both the benefits and risks associated with using liquid pressurized gases for cannabis and hemp extraction.
