Heavy Metals Removal Using Absolute Filtration Systems

Introduction

Cannabis can and will absorb heavy metals present in the medium in which it is grown through a process called phytoremediation. This process allows the plant to absorb and store these heavy metal compounds all throughout their tissues even within the trichomes themselves. This can pose a serious threat and issue not only to the consumer but to the livelihood of the cultivation or extraction company who finds themselves with contaminated material. Thankfully Absolute Filtration Systems has made it their mission since 2019 to keep cannabis consumers safe from ingesting these compounds! Whether your failed lot is in biomass form or already extracted into an oil we can get your cannabinoids clean with our advanced filtration technology!


How It Works

Utilizing AFS’s patented cartridge filter we can create a prepacked and ready to use filter that will cater to your exact filtration needs! While we do offer over 10 different preformulated blends to cover a wide variety of cannabis filtration needs, we are always happy to create a custom blend to best achieve your specific needs. By housing the filtration media in our cartridge filter we can accurately measure and deliver the same filter time and time again. This allows your production to remain consistent with repeatable success of removing targeted heavy metal compounds. Our cartridge filters can be integrated into any pre-existing closed loop extraction system, this applies to both hydrocarbons and ethanol extraction machines.
