Supercritical CO2 Extraction Process: Step by Step

The process of supercritical CO2 extraction uses carbon dioxide (CO2) in its supercritical state, which is a unique state where CO2 behaves as both a liquid and a gas. This allows it to effectively extract compounds from plant material with great precision. Here's how the process works:

Preparation of Plant Material : To begin the CO2 extraction process, the plant material must be prepared. This typically involves grinding or milling the plant to ensure that the CO2 can extract as many compounds as possible. The finer the grind, the more surface area CO2 has to interact with the plant material. Whether you're extracting cannabis for CBD or producing hop extract, preparation is key to ensuring high yield and quality.

Introduction of Supercritical CO2 : After the plant material is prepared, CO2 is introduced into the extraction vessel. The CO2 is brought to a supercritical state using a supercritical CO2 extraction machine. At this stage, the CO2 behaves like a solvent, dissolving cannabinoids, terpenes, and other valuable compounds from the plant material. The supercritical CO2 extraction process is highly efficient, allowing for the extraction of a full spectrum of compounds, including both water-soluble and fat-soluble materials, without leaving behind residual solvents.

Separation and Filtration : Once the CO2 has passed through the plant material and dissolved the desired compounds, the next step is separating the extracted materials from the CO2. This process ensures that only the purest extracts are left behind. Buffalo Extraction Systems offers advanced filtration systems in our CO2 extraction machines to ensure that the final product is free from impurities and solvents.

CO2 Removal : After the extraction process, it's essential to remove the CO2 from the extract. This is typically done by evaporating the CO2 through a vacuum process. Our supercritical CO2 extractor is designed to efficiently separate CO2 from the concentrate, ensuring a clean and pure end product.

Refinement and Purification : In some cases, additional refinement may be needed to achieve the desired purity. This may involve winterization or further filtration to remove unwanted compounds, such as lipids or waxes. Buffalo Extraction Systems offers supercritical fluid extraction equipment that can be customized to handle various types of plant material and extraction needs.
