Working Principle
It uses supercritical carbon dioxide's unique features. It works like this:
After beyond its critical point (31.1°C, 73.8 bar), CO₂ becomes supercritical, displaying gas-like diffusivity and liquid-like density.
Adjusting temperature and pressure controls CO₂ density (0.2-1.0 g/mL) and solvent strength. Targeting molecular weight substances is possible with this specificity.
Bioactive chemicals may be effectively extracted from microporous plant matrices using supercritical CO₂'s negligible surface tension and high diffusivity.
Separation: CO₂ flows into separator vessels, reducing solvent power due to pressure decrease. Target compounds precipitate while CO₂ returns to gaseous state.
To reduce waste and operational expenses, gaseous CO₂ is condensed, cooled, and recycled back to the extraction vessel using a closed-loop system.

Process Flow
- Prepare the materials: The raw materials are ground until the particles are the right size (200–500 microns), and then they are put into the extraction tank.
- CO₂ Compression: High-pressure pumps with Coriolis flow meters are used to precisely control the flow of liquid CO₂ as it is pushed to supercritical pressure.
- Conditioning of Temperature and Pressure: The device automatically raises and lowers the pressure and temperature of CO2 to meet your needs using a PLC.
- During the extraction phase, supercritical CO2 flows through the material bed and breaks down target molecules. Independent modifier pumps for polar analytes can be used to add extra co-solvents if needed.
- Separation: The CO₂-filled extract goes into separation vessels, where controlled depressurization causes pure chemicals to settle out and end up in collection containers.
- CO₂ Recovery: CO₂ that is gaseous goes through condensers and chillers and turns back into a liquid that can be used again. The closed-loop system recovers more than 95% of the time.
- Product Collection: Your pure extract is gathered in containers made for food. It is free of any solvent remains and ready to be processed further.

FAQ
Q: How does particle size affect extraction efficiency?
A: Optimal particle size is 200-500 microns. Finer milling increases surface area and mass transfer rates, but excessively fine powder causes channeling or blockage. We help you determine the ideal size through bulk density testing.
Q: Can your system extract polar compounds like polyphenols?
A: Pure CO₂ is non-polar. For polar compounds, we integrate an independent co-solvent pump that injects ethanol or water to modify polarity and broaden extraction range.
Q: What maintenance does the high-pressure pump require?
A: Piston seals and check valves need inspection every 500-1,000 operational hours depending on particle load and pressure intensity. We provide detailed maintenance schedules and spare parts support.
Q: How do you prevent CO₂ leakage hazards?
A: Our systems include rupture discs piped to exterior, ambient CO₂ monitors, and automatic shut-off valves that trigger if concentration exceeds 5,000 ppm. All safety features meet ATEX standards.
Q: Can the system operate in subcritical mode?
A: Yes. Operating below 31°C in subcritical liquid range allows extraction of highly volatile terpenes without degradation, though solvation power for heavier lipids decreases.
Q: What's the typical extraction time?
A: Extraction duration varies by material and target compounds, typically 2-6 hours. Our engineering team helps optimize parameters for your specific application.
Q: Do you provide training?
A: Absolutely. We offer comprehensive operator training covering safety protocols, process optimization, and routine maintenance. Remote technical support is available throughout equipment lifetime.
