Paralab Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) System
Supercritical Fluid Extraction based on supercritical CO2 is the reference technique for medical cannabis applications. Compared with ethanol extraction, for the same throughput capacity it requires higher capital investment. However, running costs are smaller. In regular operation conditions, the extract contains waxes and lipids that must be removed later by winterization and filtration. However, other components present on ethanol extracts may be avoided if required. There are commercial units available to process from less than one kg/day of dry plant to several ton/day.
