Christina Lake Cannabis nearly TRIPLES its cannabis EXTRACTION CAPACITY
211Christina Lake Cannabis nearly TRIPLES its cannabis EXTRACTION CAPACITY - March 31, 2021 - RICH TV LIVE - Christina Lake Cannabis Corp. (the “Company” or “CLC” or “Christina Lake Cannabis”) (CSE: CLC) (OTCQB: CLCFF) (FRANKFURT: CLB) is pleased to announce that it has completed an eight-week controlled testing period for a Cosolvent Injection System (“CIS”) add-on developed by Vitalis Extraction Technology, Inc. (“Vitalis”) for its CO2 extraction machinery. This installation of the Vitalis CIS is the first of its kind in the cannabis industry. The Vitalis CIS add-on is designed to enhance the extraction process for cannabis and hemp by using an ethanol-powered mechanism to significantly reduce runtime and operational costs as well as to improve winterization, both of which are important considerations in the Company’s extraction operations.
Joel Dumaresq, CEO of Christina Lake Cannabis, explained how the Company’s growth ambitions as an innovator in cannabis production will be expedited with CLC’s recent purchase of the new Vitalis CIS technology and its continued partnership with Vitalis. “At the end of 2020, we found ourselves in a situation in which we were limited to completing only three production runs on a given day, which translates to approximately 90 kg / 198.4 lb of biomass per day or 450 kg / 992 lb per week,” said Mr. Dumaresq. “It became very apparent that there simply wouldn’t be enough hours in the year to be able to effectively process the yield from our 2020 harvest season. Being approached by Vitalis as the first customer to bring the new cosolvent injection system into our operations was very timely as it enabled us to economically improve our efficiency in producing cannabis extracts. We can now consistently process upwards of 250 kg / 551 lb of biomass per day or 1,250 kg / 2,755 lb per week with ease, and that’s a significant improvement for the Company. It also supports the shift we are making from our wholesale-only model to new downstream initiatives that lends to expanding both our cultivation and production capabilities.”
“Engineered as a plug-and-play add-on rather than an alteration to CO2 extraction equipment, the Vitalis CIS design allows for continued operation with the option to operate CO2 as a mono-solvent if desired,” commented Vitalis co-founder and CEO, Joel Sherlock. “By injecting a controlled amount of ethanol into the CO2 extraction process, the cosolvent system leverages the benefits of CO2 extraction (capturing terpenes, targeting desired cannabinoids, lowering operating costs) and the power of ethanol. Technical solutions for our customers to keep pace in the cannabis industry of today means delivering on flexibility, reliability, and most importantly... quality. What we’ve proven with the Vitalis CIS is that optimized ethanol use at the discretion of our customers does not need to come at the compromise of product quality or cost. We’ve already seen incredible results at Christina Lake Cannabis with preliminary extractions – a little over 20 L of ethanol per extraction for each run and getting greater than 90% of cannabinoids out of it. An ethanol-only system of equivalent size would mean using more than 100 L of ethanol in one run, so you can see the business rationale.”
