CO2 Pressure – Ramp Profiles Over the last 5 years Core Separations have been building a control system to help its users to explore the power of supercritical CO2 processes. One key feature of any control system when exploring CO2 extraction or reaction...
When designing a high pressure pump the check valve design is usually overlooked and commercially available ones are used. However, the check valve design can dictate the motor size. The greater the back flow, the more the motor needs to compensate for the loss...
When performing an extraction, the most convenient accessory is the use of an internal basket. The basket allows you to both load and unload your extraction vessel relatively quickly giving you two major benefits. Quick loading and unloading allows increased...
Over the last few years, the Cannabis industry has gone from strength to strength. But it is worth acknowledging that the early pioneers of this industry faced several challenges. Supercritical CO2 has been around for over 40 years, most notably with companies...
We have discussed how flow meters can aid in troubleshooting the incoming CO2 flow. They are however, much more powerful than this. One of the most important metrics in any extraction is the solvent to extract ratio. This is the grams or kilograms of...
