Advanced extraction booths, also known as C1D1 extraction booths, are specialized enclosures designed for safely conducting hazardous substance extraction processes, such as botanical extractions involving volatile solvents like butane or ethanol. These booths are constructed to meet specific safety standards and regulations, typically following the guidelines set forth by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in the United States.
Here are some key features that may be included in advanced extraction booths:
-
Explosion-Proof Electronics: C1D1 booth comes with explosion proof lights, sensors, alarms, an exit sign, e-stop and more. These electronics are rated Class 1 Division one and are certified by an engineer to be in a room with butane or propane. Butane extraction equipment must be used with a room that uses explosion-proof electronics.
-
Ventilation and Airflow Systems: These booths have robust ventilation systems to ensure the safe removal of flammable vapors and maintain a clean working environment. Airflow systems may include exhaust fans, air filtration units, and ducting to channel potentially hazardous fumes outside the booth. The ventilation system is connected to our alarm system and C1D1 booths are designed to purge out volatiles when 10-25% of the LEL is reached.
-
Gas Detection and Alarm Systems: Advanced extraction booths often have built-in gas detection systems that continuously monitor the air for the presence of flammable or toxic gases. These systems can trigger alarms or activate safety measures if dangerous levels are detected.
-
Electrical Controls: A digital control panel controls our advanced extraction booth. Each panel is UL certified and connects all the electronics, alarms, and ventilation. Allowing for easy programing and purging of butane in the C1D1 booth.
-
Fire Suppression Systems: In case of a fire or explosion, C1D1 advanced extraction booths when used with butane will have a fire suppression systems installed, such as automatic fire sprinklers or clean agent suppression systems. This should be designed and installed on site.
-
Safety Interlocks: To ensure operator safety, these booths often include safety interlocks that prevent the advanced extraction booth from operating if certain conditions are not met, such as proper ventilation or gas levels within acceptable ranges.
-
Compliance with Regulations: C1D1 extraction booths are designed to meet relevant safety standards and regulations, such as NFPA 1, NFPA 30, and NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code). Compliance with these regulations ensures that the booth provides a safe environment for conducting hazardous substance extraction processes.
It's important to note that the specific design and features of advanced extraction booths can vary among different manufacturers. Therefore, for accurate and up-to-date information on C1D1 Labs and their specific products, I recommend visiting their official website or contacting them directly for detailed information about their advanced extraction booth offerings.
