What makes you think thats how its done? The water cant get hot enough to vaporize THC. You can collect terps this way thou. (but there are better ways than this)
If I had to guess, I would say they superheat steam to a certain temp. Open a valve and run it through the material for a set amount of time to vaporize all the THC.
Not sure how they would re condense that something that hot without freezer coils. Maybe feed it into a chilled water bath and skim the top after?
I dunno
They use a rotovap and lab grade ethenol. They dissolve bho / sift / keef and winterize in a cryogenic freezer and use a buchner funnel to remove the plant waxes and lipids (winterization) then they rotovap the solvent back out..... At room temp under full vac ethenol will boil away and recondense in the other flask. Leaving an absolute in the main flask.... That absolute is 0ppm and is raw clear. Due to the high heat required to distill thc and cbd it would be rather hard to even in a krugerhol short path apparatus. Clear is just absolute made by thin film vacuum evaporation. Its not actually distilled . They don't collect the terps or at least don't give them back to you when it's made by the wercshop. Now if you wanted ... You could blast bho and evaporate the butane in a flask and when most of the butane is gone and its bubbling big start the rotovap at room temp and let it run until it stops bubbling.... Butane won't recondense in the rotovap but the terpenes from the fresh bho will collect in the collection flask (holy water). Swap out that flask with a new one and add ethenol to your bho and winterize it and rotovap the ethenol . Distilled terpenes are a by product of the process
