Reliable CO2 Gas Monitoring in The Production of Medical Cannabis

MSR gas sensors detect dangerous ambient air in critical production processes.

Cannabis is generally prohibited in international trade. In recent years, however, numerous countries such as Canada, Germany, Mexico, Brazil and America have adapted their legislation regarding production, research and use, especially for medical purposes. With the legalization in Germany, more and more targeted cannabis cultivation is being carried out and industrial cannabis oil production is picking up speed.

For gentle and sustainable extraction of CBD oil, the supercritical CO2 extraction process has proven to be particularly efficient. Roughly translated, CO2 extraction means the act of pulling certain substances out from a raw material by means of carbon dioxide. CO2 is used as a solvent in this process. Not only cannabis extracts but also, for example, caffeine and aromatic substances are obtained in this way.

The term "supercritical" does not refer to the production, but to the chemical state of the carbon dioxide, which is pressurized to over 73 bar and heated to approx. 30°C.

In industrial cannabis production, gas monitoring in the extraction room and at the supply lines is essential, as CO2 displaces the oxygen in the ambient air and thus endangers human life. Furthermore, gas (e.g. methanol, propane, butane or carbon monoxide) is also used in greenhouse cultivation to promote growth and heat and must be permanently detected.
