The Tech Inc. Supercritical CO2 Extraction System pulls oils and active compounds from plant material using carbon dioxide held above its critical pressure and temperature. CO2 leaves no solvent residue, and changing pressure and temperature tunes what is extracted. Systems run from laboratory units for method development to pilot skids that produce saleable batches.
