Micron to Deliver First Cannabis Waste Digester to Aurora Cannabis
Micron to Deliver First Cannabis Waste
Digester to Aurora Cannabis
At Aurora Mountain, a 55,200 square foot, purpose-built cannabis
production and cultivation facility with an output of approximately
4,800 kg of premium cannabis each year, the unit will undergo final
on-site beta testing and optimization specific to production
cycles. To date, organic waste from the facility has been processed
using traditional methods under Health Canada regulations.
The Micron Cannabis Waste Digester, with multiple patents pending,
was engineered based on proprietary foundation technology proven
through an extensive food waste processing project with a large
supermarket chain. The Mountain facility unit is the first of
several commissioned by Aurora, subject to the technology meeting
certain milestones, under a collaboration agreement announced in
December 2017. Subsequent units will be available to Canadian,
American and international cannabis cultivators.
“The Cannabis Waste Digester is a model of green technology
innovation and its shipment to Aurora for final testing is a key
milestone that positions us well to access this rapidly growing
market,” said Micron President Alfred Wong. “Our digester offers
cannabis cultivators the ability to treat cannabis waste on-site
without the need for hauling to landfills or incineration.
Importantly, it treats cannabis residues and keeps them out of the
waste stream, while producing clean water and facilitating
efficient waste inspection for growers and regulators.”
The Company’s proprietary Cannabis Waste Digester, resulted from a
collaboration with Aurora to develop a clean technology solution to
process organic waste generated from the growth and cultivation of
cannabis, while mitigating concerns about the potential
environmental impact.
“Industry-leading innovation is central to the Aurora Standard,”
said Dieter MacPherson, Aurora’s Vice President of Production. “We
asked Micron to work with us to reinvent cannabis waste processing
to make it more cost-effective, less onerous, and particularly
environmentally sound. We look forward to receipt of the first
Cannabis Waste Digester at Aurora Mountain and working with the
Micron team to fine tune it to meet our specifications.”
Water extracted from cannabis waste by the Micron digester is
treated to meet local water discharge standards or can be recycled
back into the cultivation process. Cannabinoid residues -
including Δ9-THCA, Δ9-THC, CBDA, CBD, and CBN - present in
the waste streams are denatured.
“Developing a platform to denature cannabis residues was an
exciting scientific and technological challenge,” said Micron Waste
Chief Technology Officer Dr. Bob Bhushan, developer of Micron’s
commercial organic food waste digester system. “I am extremely
proud of our scientific team of biologists and engineers who took
this project from concept to completion in under six months. We
exceeded the requirements of Health Canada’s Access to Cannabis
for Medical Purposes Regulations and improved on our previous
high standards for waste water purification, which were already
over and above those stipulated in municipal discharge
regulations.”
