A supercritical closed loop CO2 extractor is used to extract different molecules from botanicals using liquid or supercritical CO2. The use of CO2 means that typical solvents that might not only be dangerous to work with but also could affect the chemical composition of the oils you are extracting are no longer a concern. CO2 is a relatively inert, nonflammable gas and when pressure and temperature is applied to it, it will undergo a phase change to its liquid or supercritical form, resulting in an exceptionally efficient solvent for botanical extraction.

The plant material is broken down at a molecular level by passing liquid or supercritical CO2 through a vessel with the plant materials. As the CO2 moves through the plant material, it strips the botanical of the desired extract. As the CO2 is returned to its gaseous state it undergoes the Venturi Effect, leaving you with shelf ready pure plant oils (terpenes, full spectrum, etc.)

The following sections will outline some of the overall trends determined by each of
four parameters.

Temperature
Although temperature can be controlled at many stages in the process, the
primary concern is the temperature of the extraction vessel. From the initial
chosen temperature,
Increasing the extraction temperature:
• decreases terpenoid concentration in the extract,
• risks possible denaturing of the product, and
• increases wax/resin extraction (thereby increasing extract quantity).
Decreasing the extraction temperature:
• increases the oil proportion of the extract, and
• reduces the wax proportion of the extract.

Pressure
The following are concerns regarding extraction pressure:
• From the initial chosen extraction pressure, increasing pressure
increases wax/resin concentration in extract
• Pressure over 5000 psi at 45 deg C causes chlorophyll extraction,
• Increasing pressure increases chlorophyll in extract
• Increasing temperature increases chlorophyll in extract
• Higher pressures are harder to maintain if CO2 supply is not
continuous (cylinders instead of bulk)

Flow rate
The following are concerns regarding flow rate:
• Maintaining flow rate at higher pressures is more difficult due to a
loss of CO2 supply (especially when using tanks and the cylinders are
emptying).
• Increasing flow rate can cause dry ice accumulation, resulting in a
higher chance of icing up lines unless additional heat is applied.
• Decreasing flow allows for the material to be in contact with the
solvent for longer, increasing potential yield.
• Decreasing flow slows processing.

Solvent-to-feed ratio
This is a processing time/solvent cost versus extract quantity amount issue.
The correct ratio is the one that is most cost effective.
