Safe Modular Laboratory Solutions

  Several processes may be done in a standard GMP-compliant space, but the use of solvents can complicate the process due to the special requirements associated with the use and storage of flammable or explosive compounds. Failure to follow these guidelines has resulted in numerous fires, explosions, injuries, property damage, and even deaths. Analytical labs, offshore installations, oil & gas facilities, as well as military operations, use these modular extraction labs for other purposes while following strict guidelines for design and use.  

The Norseman team has mitigated these problems with our comprehensive modular lab design. There is no reason to risk life and limb when you could use one of our C1D1, C1D2, or CO2 labs to protect your property and, most importantly, preserve life and health. We have designed our modular extraction rooms to exceed all codes related to the use of solvents (we found they were not sufficient in some cases). This means you can safely and confidently focus on production.

Some industries use these methods to extract precious minerals from industrial waste, test volatile compounds, or extract oils from plant materials. Most commonly, essential oils & herbal extracts in the food and drug industries. Multiple extraction methods are used to produce extracts, including Cold Press, Water Distillation, Enfleurage (Lipid Infusion), Steam, CO², and Solvent (or Hydrocarbon) Extraction. The extraction method depends on the compound to be extracted, the material it’s extracted from, and the efficiency level desired. No matter what methods you are using, Norseman has you covered!
