- HTC
announced entering into a letter agreement for a CAD$15 million bought
deal private placement of units led by Canaccord Genuity Corp. on July 3,
2019 (subject to closing);
- HTC’s
business model includes owning physical assets at extraction and
purification facilities to serve the clean energy and hemp biomass
industries;
- Hemp
biomass tolling contracts with producers and hemp biomass providers are
either signed or being negotiated in Canada and the U.S.;
- HTC
will provide “local to grower” drying-to-biomass storage capability and
transportation of dried biomass to HTC extraction facilities;
- HTC is
constructing a 19,000-square-foot GMP Euro compliant extraction tolling
facility near Regina, Saskatchewan; and
- HTC
has developed and optimized proprietary extraction and purification
systems for biomass, gas and liquid extraction.
HTC Extraction Systems (TSX.V: HTC) has developed and
optimized proprietary technologies designed for biomass extraction,
distillation and purification of ethanol and ethanol-based solvents used for
the hemp biomass and cannabidiol (“CBD”) industry, as well as gas and liquid
extraction. HTC’s extraction & purification systems are engineered to
large-scale to reduce capital and operating costs while delivering superior
performance measured by reduced energy usage, lowered emissions and improved
quality of the product produced.
Advanced Extraction Technologies
For more than 14 years, HTC has developed and optimized
proprietary technology and purification systems used for biomass, gas and
liquid extraction. These technologies include:
- LCDesign® –
Low-cost design for modular gas, liquid and biomass extraction systems
optimizes plant design, thus reducing capital and operating costs.
- PDOEngine™ –
Software-based design algorithms accurately model and simulate gas, liquid
and biomass extraction processing.
- Delta
Solvents™ – Custom-designed, ethanol-based solvent mixtures and
additives that optimize production and reduce costs. Technology
development is being conducted at HTC’s sponsored research facilities at
the University of Calgary.
Delta Purification® Technology
HTC’s patented Delta Purification® technology will purify,
recycle and reuse the extraction ethanol used in the CBD extraction process
while managing and reducing any CBD waste losses through the re-extraction of
all wastes collected from the purified ethanol. Current and new technologies
include:
- Delta
CBD Reclaiming System: Reclaiming and purifying ethanol for use
in CBD extraction from biomass. Reduces required heat to prevent damage of
the chemical attributes of the CBD molecule, allowing extracted CBD to
meet food-grade targets for human consumption.
- Delta
Solvent Reclaiming System: Reclaiming and purifying ethanol-based
solvents, such as single, mixed and formulated amines, for use in natural
gas processing and post-combustion CO2 capturing processes.
- Delta
Glycol Reclaiming System: Reclaiming and purifying glycols, such
as mono-ethylene glycol and tri-ethylene glycol for use in natural gas
dehydration processes.
Hemp Biomass and Tolling Contracts
HTC has entered into a hemp biomass tolling agreement for
the 2019 crop year involving a supply of hemp biomass from a hemp grower in
Saskatchewan, Canada. The hemp grower utilizes five varieties of Health
Canada-approved cultivars as the genetic foundation. HTC will process and
extract CBD FSO distillate from the hemp biomass. As a tolling fee payment, HTC
will receive a percentage of the extracted CBD FSO distillate for its
processing, extraction, purification and distillation services.
Additional hemp biomass tolling contracts with producers and
hemp biomass providers are being negotiated in the U.S. for the 2020 hemp crop
growing year. HTC will provide “local-to-grower” drying-to-biomass storage
capability and transportation of dried biomass to an HTC, location to be
determined, future US based, extraction facility. HTC is also in negotiation
with a 60,000-acre, recognized Canadian farm leader, who is a significant hemp
biomass producer, for a similar hemp biomass tolling contract.
re3™ Technology
Large users of ethanol and solvents for plant oil extraction
demand reduced capital and operating costs. HTC’s re3™ (reclaim, recycle,
reuse) technology can save up to 30% of the required fluid costs. The
increasing cost of new extraction ethanol, combined with the cost of used
ethanol disposal, creates a unique opportunity whereby the re3™ technology will
create cost savings, while meeting environmental responsibilities.
The growth of ethanol and CO2 used in CBD production has
created a new demand for reliable commercial scale ethanol reclaimer systems.
The Delta Purification® ethanol system meets this new demand.
Sales and Offtake Agreements
HTC intends to leverage its relationship with its related
entity, Purely Canada Foods™, to provide sales and distribution for its
Ingredient CBD market under the brand of Purely Canada Hemp™, Purely Canada
CBD™, Purely Canada Cannabinoids™. Purely Canada Hemp™ will develop risk
managed multi-year ingredient supply contracts with its existing and new Global
Food, Beverage and Animal Food Industry Customers.
Project Construction
HTC has focused the Canadian implementation of its BOOM
(build, own, operate and maintain) extraction tolling strategy on a location
near Regina, Saskatchewan. HTC is currently constructing a 19,000-square-foot
GMP Euro compliant extraction tolling facility on six acres of land that will
include biomass processing, extraction, implementation of DeltaSolv™
technologies and Delta Purification® systems, distillate and refining
equipment, laboratory quality control and testing operations, and on-site
office and admin facilities.
