Supercritical COâ‚‚ is rapidly gaining popularity as a key solvent in commercial and industrial applications, especially in the field of chemical extraction. Its low toxicity and minimal environmental impact make it an ideal choice for extracting valuable compounds from plant materials. Fractional extraction leverages the unique solvency properties of COâ‚‚ at varying pressures and temperatures to selectively isolate essential oils, waxes, and other botanical distillates from a wide range of plant species.
The graph below illustrates the phase behavior of COâ‚‚ under different temperature and pressure conditions, showing how it transitions between gaseous, liquid, and supercritical states. This property makes it highly effective for controlled extractions where precision is critical.
When it comes to the equipment used in supercritical COâ‚‚ extraction systems, filter housings play a crucial role in maintaining system integrity and ensuring efficient operation. Our food-grade 316L stainless steel filter housings are specifically designed for use in botanical oil extraction processes. They serve as both traditional filters and high-pressure vessels, offering versatility and durability in a variety of applications.
Our extensive range of filter housing designs allows for customized system configurations, catering to different operational requirements. Some of the most commonly used models include:
- **SS424 and SS434 Series**: Suitable for pressures up to 35 bar (500 psi)
- **SS425 and SS435 Series**: Designed for higher pressure applications, up to 100 bar (1500 psi)
- **SS426 and SS436 Series**: Ideal for high-pressure environments, with a maximum rating of 200 bar (3000 psi)
These units come with various sealing options, including solid PTFE (Teflon) for low-temperature applications and FDA-approved Viton seals for more demanding conditions. The choice of seal material ensures compatibility with the specific process requirements and enhances the longevity of the system.
With our experience working alongside leading OEMs in the supercritical COâ‚‚ industry, we can provide expert guidance on selecting the right filter housings and elements tailored to your specific extraction needs.
