Our production scale botanical extraction systems have four key features that provide superior process performance versus other processing systems:

• Automated systems to support cascade flow operation and thus more fully utilize the solvent capacity of the CO2 thereby reducing the CO2 mass flow rate and proportionately decreasing the system’s energy requirements;
• High pressure and high temperature operation at up to 690 bar and 110 C to provide higher solubility conditions for botanical extraction;
• Precision fractionation provided by a combination of precision process controls to regulate the temperature and pressure in the separation vessels coupled with proprietary mechanical elements to manipulate the process stream; and 
• A proprietary cosolvent process that enables obtains extracts with minimal cosolvent consumption.  This system is particularly advantageous in reducing the CO2 solvent to feed ratio.
