Supercritical CO2 extraction plant

Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction technology

超臨界CO2抽出プラント

超臨界CO2抽出プラント
Two-step separation unit
By using the solvent power of the (CO2) supercritical carbon dioxide, with the extraction of active ingredients, the removal and separation of the remaining impure component happens.

Without using organic solvents, this is attracting attention in the environment- friendly 21st century. Operation at room temperature is possible, so handling heat sensitive materials is easy. There is no irritation. It is harmless. And it is suitable for the extraction of food. Carbon has no polarity and it’s properties are similar to organic solvents such as hexane and pentane.

Specification and feature of extraction plant
