FAQ

Media

What is filtration media?

Open tab

Filtration media are different clay, alumina, silica, carbon, etc., used to remove undesirables from your product, such as cannabis extracts.

What is in the media/what is the media made of?

Open tab
  1. Our main product lines (CRX/CRY/Performs/B80/CR2) are organically sourced and FDA GRAS-approved bentonite-based (or attapulgite) clays. 
  2. Carbons are just that (CRAC, G-CRAC, PR-O, PR-W)— activated carbon.
  3. Alumina and silica

Can MB media help remediate more than just color?

Open tab

We provide various media designed for different jobs. Please check our Product Finder for color, pesticides, heavy metals, moisture, etc. Or contact us for a recommendation.

Can I mix MB media with other media?

Open tab

You can mix any media, but always beware of mixing different-sized media; various pressures might not be optimal for specific media and can impact flow rates.

Where do I find the Certificate of Analysis for my product?

Open tab

Visit our Certificate of Analysis page and click the COA link.

Can I reuse the media?

Open tab

It’s hard to judge because everyone’s system, SOP, starting material, end goal, etc.. is different. It can be reused, but that will depend on what you are happy with. With each consecutive run, the media’s efficacy will decrease.

How do I store my media?

Open tab

Make sure the package is sealed; moisture is the biggest enemy!

Processing

How do I use MB filtration media?

Open tab

For best results, it is recommended that you use a dedicated media column, but you can load the media directly into your material column first and biomass on top; however, it won’t be as effective. 

What is the recommended operating PSI?

Open tab

Our 30/60 granular size (CRX/Y) have a recommended psi of about 20-40psi and our medium flow 60/90 is about 45-60psi. 

What are the recommended usage ratios?

Open tab

CRX/Y and CR41 usage ratios are about 150-250g per # of biomass, and our Carbon and Silica ratios are roughly 5-10% of the estimated extract in a solution. See also our recommended SOP.

How do I regulate flow?

Open tab

Regulate flow with a needle valve on the output of your CRC; the sweet spot is having a slightly higher inlet psi, roughly 30-50psi, and restricting your output needle valve enough that your CRC column is full or mostly full, allowing the solvated oil to have contact time with the media. If during processing you start to see too much color, you can restrict more flow giving higher residence time and better color removal. 

I’m not pleased with the results; what should I do?

Open tab

Please reach out and see if we can help make the media work for your process.

Is there any yield loss?

Open tab

When used with a solvent ratio of roughly 7-1 to 10-1, you should see negligible yield loss; if you believe you have some yield loss, increase your solvent ratio and or flush the media with fresh solvent after every run to collect any potential yield loss.

What is the recommended micron size?

Open tab

Our minimum recommended micron size is 1um; however, with some fine powders like Carbon and Silica, there can still be a potential for contamination, especially when processing with higher psi; consider utilizing a submicron filter like our Ulti-Filter when using powders for added assurance.
