Supercritical CO2 Extraction Walkthrough

Here's an explanation of our system, benefits, and a detailed walkthrough of the supercritical fluid (CO2) extraction technology.

What is Supercritical CO2 Extraction?

Supercritical CO2 extraction utilizes carbon dioxide (CO2) in a supercritical state—where it exhibits properties of both a gas and a liquid—to extract compounds from raw materials. This method is particularly valued for its efficiency, safety, and environmental benefits. Unlike traditional solvent extraction methods, supercritical CO2 is non-toxic, leaves no residue, and operates at lower temperatures, preserving the integrity of sensitive compounds.

How Supercritical CO2 Extraction Works

To achieve a supercritical state, CO2 is subjected to high pressure and moderate temperatures. In this state, it possesses unique solvation properties, allowing it to effectively dissolve and extract essential compounds from various materials. Once the extraction is complete, the pressure is reduced, causing the CO2 to revert to a gaseous state. This process leaves behind the extracted compounds without any residual solvents, resulting in a pure, high-quality product.

Benefits of Using Supercritical CO2 Extraction Machines

High Purity and Quality : The use of supercritical CO2 allows for the extraction of pure compounds without contaminants. This is crucial for industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, where product purity is paramount.

Maximized Yield : Our advanced machines are engineered to optimize extraction efficiency. By carefully controlling pressure and temperature, you can achieve higher yields compared to traditional methods.

Versatility : Supercritical CO2 extraction can be applied to a wide range of materials, including botanicals, oils, and even natural flavors. This versatility makes it an excellent choice for various sectors.

Eco-Friendly : CO2 is a natural compound that is abundant in the atmosphere, making it a sustainable choice for extraction. Additionally, the closed-loop system of our machines minimizes waste and energy consumption.
