Lesson 1.6.1

Winterization and Dewaxing: Removing What You Don't Want

Estimated time: 45 minutes

Learning Objectives

  • Know what winterization is: dissolving crude in cold ethanol to precipitate waxes and lipids, then filtering
  • Understand time-temperature-solvent ratios for effective winterization
  • Know the filtration workflow: gravity, vacuum, filter media selection
  • Understand when winterization is unnecessary (hydrocarbon extracts may already be dewaxed inline)
