Figure 1 – Cryo-Ethanol Extraction System
Evolved will provide equipment, installation, commissioning, and training services for their EV-MASS Cryo-Ethanol system. Evolved is Required to meet performance milestones for their extraction equipment. The EV-MASS Cryo-Ethanol extraction system is capable of processing 650 KG of cannabis or hemp biomass per day, producing winterized (de-waxed) cannabis or hemp oil.
“The EV-MASS Cryo-Ethanol system brings Adastra an industrial-scale cannabis/hemp oil production capability. This capability is expected to triple Adastra’s CO2 supercritical extraction production line’s capacity. Further, the system has reduced manpower requirements compared to other extraction processes and will allow Adastra to free up its CO2 extraction line for other typesof concentrate products, such as High Terpene Full Spectrum Extracts.” Dr. Kyle Boniface, Adastra Director of Production.
The EV-MASS integrated solution provides an optimized process flow that is expected to reduce the cost of production. The modular design permits Adastra to easily scale up capacity with simplified installation in the event of increased market demand.
“We are excited to be working with the team at Adastra. Being able to provide our industrial -scale cryo-ethanol EV-MASS extraction solution to Adastra, located only minutes from our Pitt Meadows, British Columbia facility is a great opportunity. We are confident our “Evolved Performance Promise” will ensure Adastra’s production capacity is substantially increased with high-quality cannabis and hemp extractions. We designed the system with Adastra’s growth plans in mind and we’ve already begun planning upcoming upgrades to the system for when they need additional throughput out of their new production line.” Adam Temple, CEO, Evolved Extraction Solutions.

This past week Aphria also released financial results for the third quarter of its 2021 fiscal year, in which the firm highlights the overall direction of the company with the Tilray deal.

Seth Rogen’s New Cannabis Brand are Now Available at Apothecarium Dispensaries in San Francisco , Berkeley and Capitola
The Apothecarium is offering cannabis from Houseplant, the cannabis lifestyle brand founded by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg at its five California dispensaries. The Apothecarium has three San Francisco locations (Castro, SOMA and Marina ) and one each in Berkeley and Capitola (outside of Santa Cruz ).
“With the vast number of dispensaries in California , we put a lot of effort into identifying the right ones that align with Houseplant’s values,” said Seth Rogen , Co-Founder of Houseplant. “The Apothecarium shares the same commitment to creating a strong consumer experience that we pride ourselves on and we are thrilled to bring our three initial strains to their stores in the Bay Area.”
Houseplant is launching with three flower strains, all of which will be available at The Apothecarium, including: Diablo Wind (sativa), Pancake Ice (sativa) and Pink Moon (indica). Like their founder’s groundbreaking film “Pineapple Express”, Houseplant strains are named after weather phenomena. Each strain will be sold in a custom tin.
“We are so proud to be one of the very first dispensaries in California to offer Houseplant to our customers,” said Ryan Hudson , CEO and co-founder of The Apothecarium. “Seth, Evan and everyone at Houseplant love and respect cannabis as much as we do. We simply cannot wait to share their beautiful and delicious flowers with our guests.”
“We’ve been working with the Houseplant team for more than a year and are grateful to have a partner that shares so many of our values, including an emphasis on cannabis education, quality, reform of cannabis laws and beautifully designed, recyclable packaging.”
“Seth has been hands-on during the process, spending time with our store managers to make sure they know the products and how much care has gone into vetting and selecting the best strains. We think our guests are going to love Houseplant.”
About The Apothecarium
The Apothecarium is recognized as one of the nation’s premier cannabis dispensaries, with an emphasis on education via in-depth one-on-one consultations from highly trained cannabis consultants. The company was founded by three first cousins and two family friends in 2011. Our dispensaries are known for providing educational events that are open to the public at no cost — and for welcoming seniors, first-time dispensary visitors, and people with serious medical conditions. The Apothecarium’s flagship San Francisco dispensary was named the best-designed dispensary in the country by Architectural Digest . Patients and customers may order at our dispensaries or online for pickup or delivery at apothecarium.com [apothecarium.com] .
The Apothecarium is committed to giving back to the communities we serve. We have donated more than $400,000 in cash to community groups and nonprofits — plus more than $300,000 worth of in-kind donations.
All Apothecarium dispensaries continue to implement safety measures to protect guests and team members. Protocols include strict social distancing inside and outside the dispensaries, a mask requirement for everyone inside the dispensaries, no contact check-in procedures and ongoing sanitizing throughout the day.
