• <br /> I 5Li KirklandDynamics <br /> SUMMARY: <br /> An Engineering analysis has been performed on a Professional Grade Closed Loop Extraction system <br /> used in the extraction of essential oils from a botanical substance by use of a Butane solvent. The <br /> Extraction system analyzed within this report is classified as the Terpp MK IVc, 5 lb Closed Loop Extractor <br /> System (Adaptable to 2 lb configuration). This system is composed of an assembly of Food Grade Piping <br /> and pressure vessels. The Closed Loop Extraction system has been analyzed per the American Society of <br /> Mechanical Engineers(ASME) standards B36.19M-2004, B36.10M-2004, ASME BPVC Section VIII Division <br /> 1-2013, and guidance from the NFPA-58 LP Gas Code. This report and certificate of conformance shall <br /> demonstrate that the use of the Terpp MK IVc Closed Loop Extractor model shown in figure 4.1 in <br /> conjunction with those facility fire protection and safety features identified as meeting all requirements <br /> for this type of system in design and manufacturing. This report identifies minimum installation <br /> requirements of the Processing Lab for safe operation per the International Building Code (IBC) 2012, <br /> International Fire Code 2012 (IFC), International Mechanical Code 2012 (IMC), NFPA 34-2015, NFPA 54- <br /> 2015, NFPA 497-2012, and NFPA 70-2014. A code path analysis has been conducted (See page 41). <br /> 314-55-104 WAC <br /> Marijuana processor license extraction requirements. <br /> (1) Processors are limited to certain methods, equipment, solvents,gases and mediums when <br /> creating marijuana extracts. <br /> (2) Processors may use the hydrocarbons N-butane, Iso-butane, propane, or heptane or other <br /> solvents or gases exhibiting low to minimal potential human health-related toxicity approved by the <br /> board. These solvents must be of at least ninety-nine percent purity and a processor must use them in a <br /> professional grade closed loop extraction system designed to recover the solvents, work in an <br /> environment with proper ventilation, controlling all sources of ignition where a flammable atmosphere <br /> is or may be present. <br /> (3) Processors may use a professional grade closed loop CO2 gas extraction system where every <br /> vessel is rated to a minimum of nine hundred pounds per square inch.The CO2 must be of at least <br /> ninety-nine percent purity. <br /> (4) Professional grade closed loop systems used by processors must be commercially manufactured <br /> and built to codes of recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices,such as: <br /> (a)The American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME); <br /> (b) American National Standards Institute (ANSI); <br /> (c) Underwriters Laboratories (UL); or <br /> (d)The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). <br /> 9/1/2015 Project: 150703 Terpp MK IV CLE Report Page 2 of 44 <br /> KD Doc. 150703ER <br />
