CO₂ Extraction
CO₂ Extraction Consulting
Facility planning, process improvement, troubleshooting, and scale-up from engineers who design and build extraction systems.
Who You Work With
Our CO₂ work is led by engineer Jeremy Diehl, who has designed supercritical CO₂ systems since 2004. He works with the team that has built and run our distillation plants since 1981.
Where We Can Help
Lab and facility planning
Equipment, layout, footprint and staffing for a new CO₂ extraction lab.
Process improvement
Better yield, consistency and throughput from the CO₂ process you already run.
Replacing ethanol winterization
Moving dewaxing into the extraction run, with CO₂ as the only solvent.
Scale-up
Taking a bench method to pilot scale without losing what made it work.
Commercial plant planning
Throughput, layout and equipment for a production CO₂ plant, before you commit to a design.
Typical Situations
- Your extract varies from one run to the next.
- Pressure, temperature or flow will not hold at set conditions.
- You winterize with ethanol and want to remove that step.
- A method that works on the bench does not hold at pilot scale.
- You are sizing a first lab or a production plant and want a second opinion before you buy.
What to Send Us
- The botanical, and the compounds or profile you are after
- Your current equipment and run conditions, if you have them
- The volumes or throughput you work at, or plan to
- How you dewax today
- What you want to change, and by when
