Supercritical Co2 extraction system
Optimize your extraction processes with environmentally friendly and efficient supercritical CO2 technology, ensuring high-purity extracts without the use of organic solvents. Ideal for those needing flexible, scalable solutions across various operations, from pilot to industrial scale.
Extracts and Purifies Compounds from Plant Materials
The Supercritical CO2 Fluid Extraction System from De Dietrich Process Systems, featuring Thar Process technology, offers a sustainable solution for extracting and purifying natural compounds without organic solvents. Utilizing supercritical CO2, this system effectively operates as both a gas and liquid, ensuring thorough extraction and purification processes. It is specifically designed for applications in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, and flavors and fragrances industries, producing high-purity end-products such as CBD oil, omega-3 fish oil supplements, and essential oils.
With an extraction capacity ranging from laboratory scale to industrial scale of up to 10 metric tons per day, this system is tailored for scalability and precision. The equipment achieves excellent energy efficiency by employing a recyclable CO2 solvent, making it an eco-friendly alternative to traditional methods. It also ensures operational safety with non-flammable, pure CO2, conforming to industry standards.
The integration of PLC-controlled automation facilitates seamless line integration and operation, while the equipment’s stainless steel construction offers superior corrosion resistance, complying with GMP and FDA pharmaceutical standards. Maintenance is streamlined with an inbuilt CIP (Clean-In-Place) system, optimizing downtime and ensuring contamination-free processing. Customization options are available to meet specific processing needs, backed by engineering support for optimization in De Dietrich’s tech lab facility.
