This process involves pressurizing CO2 beyond its critical point (31.1°C and 73.8 bar), where it exhibits properties of both a liquid and a gas[1]. In this supercritical state, CO2 acts as a highly effective solvent, capable of penetrating materials and selectively extracting desired compounds. Process Overview The supercritical CO2 extraction process typically involves the following steps: Pressurization: CO2 is compressed to reach its supercritical state. Extraction: The supercritical CO2 flows through a vessel containing the raw material, dissolving target compounds. Separation: The CO2-extract mixture enters a separator where pressure is reduced, causing the CO2 to return to a gaseous state and precipitating the extracted compounds. Collection: The extracted compounds are collected, while the gaseous CO2 is recycled back into the system[1][2]. Advantages Over Other Methods Supercritical CO2 extraction offers several advantages compared to traditional extraction methods: Environmental friendliness: CO2 is non-toxic, non-flammable, and readily available, making it a safer and more eco-friendly solvent[3][6]. Residue-free extracts: The process leaves no solvent residues in the final product, resulting in purer extracts[6]. Selectivity: By adjusting temperature and pressure, the solvent power of CO2 can be fine-tuned to target specific compounds[6]. Preservation of sensitive compounds: The relatively low operating temperatures help preserve thermally sensitive substances[6]. Energy efficiency: The process operates at lower temperatures compared to other extraction methods, reducing energy consumption[6]. Application Areas Supercritical CO2 extraction finds applications across various industries: Pharmaceuticals: Extraction of active pharmaceutical ingredients from natural sources[2]. Food processing: Decaffeination of coffee and tea, extraction of flavors and fragrances[2][5]. Cosmetics and personal care: Extraction of natural ingredients and essential oils[2]. Environmental remediation: Removal of contaminants from soil and water[2]. Nutraceuticals: Extraction of bioactive compounds from plants and herbs[2]. Materials science: Production of advanced materials and nanoparticles[2]. Importance Supercritical CO2 extraction is important for several reasons: Sustainability: It offers a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional solvent-based extraction methods[3]. Product quality: The process yields high-purity extracts without solvent residues, which is crucial for pharmaceutical and food applications[6]. Versatility: Its ability to selectively extract compounds makes it suitable for a wide range of industries and applications[2]. Regulatory compliance: The use of CO2 as a solvent aligns with strict regulations in food and pharmaceutical industries[3]. Cost Considerations Despite the higher initial investment, supercritical CO2 extraction can be more cost-effective in the long term due to the following reasons: Lower costs for solvents: CO2 is significantly cheaper than organic solvents and can be recycled within the extraction system[4][8]. Reduced waste management: The process produces minimal waste, reducing disposal costs[3]. Energy efficiency: Lower operating temperatures can lead to energy savings compared to traditional extraction methods[6]. In conclusion, while supercritical CO2 extraction requires a substantial initial investment, its numerous advantages in terms of product quality, environmental impact, and long-term operational efficiency make it an increasingly popular choice across various industries.

Thanks to this foresight, we can reveal from raw material, which molecules, under which temperature and pressure parameters we have extracted, by having extracts analyzed. In this way, you will understand which molecules you can get from your raw material, whether the Carbon Dioxide is sufficient to get the target molecules, and whether an extra co-solvent is needed. Our device with which you can do these studies is the Superex F-500 with an extractor-reactor volume of 500 ml. The F-500 stands out with its compact and countertop design, easy sample loading and removal, easy cleaning and affordable price. With the F-500, you can extract the plant or raw material you want with the parameters you set on the touch screen. Thanks to its easy cleaning, you can continue your work with a simple cleaning procedure when switching from one plant to another plant. The cleaning procedure is usually done in the form of cleaning the pipelines with ethanol or hot water by feeding and pressurizing CO2 (carbon dioxide) into the system. In the F-500 system, you can extract from liquid or solid product. Plant studies are generally carried out by loading them into the extractor column in dry, ground form. So when you have the Superex F-500 system; With a small investment, you can study as many products as you want and reveal the product and parameters you plan to produce.  In terms of capacity, the F-500 system receives an average of 40% of the volume of leafy, dry, ground product and 80-85% of the seed-like product. For example, 500 ml extractor column; It is filled with 200 grams of dry ground lavender leaves or 400 grams of hemp seeds. These ratios are similar in other Supercritical systems.   Phase 2 – Advanced Laboratory Studies – Code: SC Series You can think of these devices as scaled-down versions of pilot and industrial systems. They provide higher flow rates than the F-500 system. Ensuring these flow rates; It is provided with high pressure resistant, temperature controlled separator columns and liquefaction system. In this way, you simulate a production system. For example, if you take a lavender extract in 90-120 minutes in the F-500 system, you will take it in an average of 45 minutes with an SC series device.  SC series systems are designed in 1, 2 and 5 liter volumes. It can use the same carbon dioxide gas over and over, we call it the CO2 Recycling feature. In addition, the CO2 Recovery Feature, where we can store the carbon dioxide gas used, can be added to these systems. However, the CO2 Recovery feature makes sense in systems of 5 liters and above. Thus, it can recover and reuse 85% of the carbon dioxide gas used. This rate rises above 95% in industrial systems.  With systems of this volume, prototype product trials and boutique productions can be made.  Fractionation Feature : Supercritical carbon dioxide is a selective solvent. It dissolves low molecular weight components at low temperature and pressures and high molecular weight components at high pressures and temperatures. When we gradually reduce the pressure in the separator columns where we collect the extract, we can separate the extract according to their molecular weights. Thus, when we reduce the pressure gradually in a system with 3 separators, we can get the heaviest components in the first separator, the medium weight components in the second separator, and the components with the lowest molecular weight in the third separator. While the fractionation feature is generally preferred in 10 liter and above pilot systems, it can be added in 2 and 5 liter systems if desired.    Phase 3 – Pilot Studies – Code: P Series Pilot systems; They are systems on a scale where you can reach production volumes, see the market share of your products and focus on production and branding. With the productions you will make in the pilot system, you will be able to clarify the production volume in the raw materials you will process. If the variety of raw materials you intend to process is high, you can buy special machines for similar products. For example, you can create a 10+10 Liter pilot system for a few similar products, a 30+30 Liter system for other similar products, and a 100+100 Liter system for a few other products. In this way, you can continue production without going through an intensive cleaning procedure on the machines where you process similar products. This method is generally suitable for our customers who produce Food Supplements and Natural Cosmetic Raw Materials. You can reach serious production volumes with a pilot system. For example, with a system with a volume of 30+30 liters, you can process an average of 150-250 kilograms of dry, ground herbs per day. Especially in the pharmaceutical industry, these capacities are considered as production scales. One of the most important advantages of pilot systems is that; Let's say you targeted a molecule from a raw material in your studies on pilot systems and settled the extraction process. The boundary conditions you set here will determine your design and maximum needs in the Industrial System. These boundary conditions are, for example, 250 Bar 60 °C in the production of caffeine from tea. In this case, the maximum pressure of the Industrial system you need will be 250 bar, so you do not need a system with a maximum pressure of 350-400 Bar. The low maximum pressure significantly reduces the cost of Industrial Systems. Because the reaction takes place in pressure vessels, the pressure boundary condition changes the wall thickness of the reactor, which directly affects the cost.   Stage 4 – Industrial Production- Code: You don't need a code, it's ready for production Although the fields in which Industrial Supercritical Extraction Systems can be used are very wide, they have not become widespread yet. However, with the increasing number of green technologies and sustainability-themed studies, this technology is becoming more and more prominent.  The efficient operation of industrial systems is possible with the logical conduct of R&D and pilot studies. Successful investments and studies are generally the ones that are done correctly. Since the establishment and commissioning of industrial systems requires serious investments, the investments made must be accurate and on point. It is necessary to do this with an experienced team.  We also design and project industrial systems in line with your needs and establish facilities of any scale you want.  We design and manufacture all our systems with Domestic Infrastructure and our expert team. We are always ready to provide technical information, support and machinery for all your work on Supercritical Fluid Systems.   #### Scientific Publications URL: https://www.superex.com.tr/en/supercritical-extraction/scientific-publications/ Superex Supercritical‬  ‪PARD ENGINEERING / TURKEY‬ - ‪‪134 tarafından alıntılandı‬‬ - ‪Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Extraction‬ - ‪Supercritical Fluids‬ Comparative study of phytochemical extraction using hydrogen-rich water and supercritical fluid extraction methods D Alwazeer, MA Elnasanelkasim, S Çi̇çek, T Engin, A Çiğdem, … Process Biochemistry 128, 218-226   Supercritical fluid extraction of cannabinoids (THC and CBD) from four different strains of cannabis grown in different regions U Karğılı, E Aytaç The Journal of Supercritical Fluids 179, 105410   Effects of deacetylation degree of chitosan on the structure of aerogels S Namli, O Guven, FN Simsek, A Gradišek, G Sumnu, ME Yener, M Oztop International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 126123   Fate of PAHs under subcritical and supercritical conditions in landfill leachate: removal or formation?

The supercritical fluid extraction system is often referred to as the Supercritical Co2 extraction system. Every substance has a Supercritical phase. However, it is the most suitable Co2 gas in terms of usability. Because Co2; It is not flammable, explosive or toxic, it is food compatible, it has lower critical temperature and pressure values than equivalent solvents.   Is any substance other than CO2 needed for extraction? Only Co2 is sufficient to obtain bioactive components such as oil, flavor and active substance that can usually be taken from the product.Since Co2 is nonpolar, it can extract similar components more easily. However Ethanol can be added to the system as a co-solvent-modifier when removing some polar components. In this way when extraction done, the main solvent is still CO2. Only by changing the polarity of the medium with alcohol, polar components can be obtained.we made such an extraction while obtaining curcumin from Turmeric. This type of work can be done as follows; A residue-free extract is obtained by extracting most of the plant's content by firstly extraction with Co2. Then, by adding alcohol to the system, the desired molecule can be focused.   Does the extraction result in powder or liquid extract? Does the machine dry function? The density of the extracts varies according to the working pressure. When working at low pressures (100-150 bar), substances with lower molecular weights and products in the form of clear oil rich in volatile components are obtained. When the pressure value is high (200-300 bar), components rich in active ingredients and high molecular weight are obtained in semi-liquid form. This may vary depending on the product you will extract. E.g; When we extract caffeine from tea, we get caffeine particles in the form of solid particles, and when we extract a rice bran, we get a creamy extract in foam form.   Is a substance added to form a liquid extract? (water or oil, extract manufacturers produce extracts in water or oil, does it apply to this machine as well) There is no substance that we need to add for the liquid extract. As I mentioned, whether the extract is liquid or solid may vary depending on the product. There may be oils produced by the maceration method you mentioned as liquid extract. There, by keeping the plant in an oil like olive oil, the factors in the plant are transferred to the olive oil. There is an extract form called powder extract, which is generally done as follows; I know that the plant is extracted with alcohol, the alcohol is evaporated, and then this extract is mixed with the powder form of the extracted plant and encapsulated. This method can have high temperatures and residual risk of alcohol. The purpose of this method may be to reveal the extract and increase its absorption.   Can we say the final product is 100% pure extract? We can say that our final product is 100% pure, because when we take the extract, we reduce the Co2 pressure to atmospheric pressure, and when the pressure drops, Co2 turns into gas form and evaporates. Even if Co2 may leave a residue, it does not pose a problem because we already consume Co2 in carbonated drinks.   Will flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, essential oils, fatty acids, in short, active ingredients be damaged in the final product extracted by this method? I can say that one of the biggest advantages of this method is that the bioactive components are not damaged, because we do the extraction at temperatures between 32-60 °C, during the extraction and the extract in the separator.When we collect, there is no oxidation risk because there is no Oxygen in the environment.   If the used plant, whose extract is extracted, is processed again, is it possible to form an extract again? When you work in a production-oriented system, you will have taken at least 90-95% of the components in the product within an average of 2 hours, because the flow rate is high in these systems. However, due to the low flow rate in the laboratory type 500 ml system, the time may be longer. We recommend the 500 ml system for R&D studies. Also, as I mentioned in the previous  answer about re-extraction, if you use a modifier, you can obtain alcohol-soluble components.   Does the machine perform purity control or active ingredient amount analysis? Our machine does not analyze. Analyzes of active substances are made sensitively in chromatography devices. You can have an analysis done at universities and some institutes.   What are the advantages over microwave and ultrasound assisted extraction?  These systems can be used to increase efficiency in solvent extraction systems. It makes sense to obtain more essential oil and hydrosol. In supercritical extraction, you can obtain aroma, volatile component, fixed oil and active substances by changing the pressure and temperature.   How many kg of plants can be worked with at a time, how many kg of extract is produced and how long does the process take at once? The product loading volume changes according to the density of the product. As a dry, ground herb, it can take about one-third to two-thirds of its volume. For example, in the 500 ml volume extractor column, 200 grams of lavender plant can be taken, 150 grams of thyme and 400 grams of cannabis seeds can be taken. Since the specific gravity of the seeds is high, the amount of loading increases. The amount of extract also varies from product to product. In some types of lavender and thyme, a yield of around 5% can be obtained. You can obtain almost all of the extract contained in the plant.   Is the plant treated before extraction? (does it need to be dried or can the fresh herb be used?) Dry and ground material usage is the most convenient method. The fact that the plant is not dried causes the water in the plant to become a barrier to carbon dioxide. However, it can also be downloaded and tested fresh.   Is there a plant species that cannot be extracted with this method? I don't remember a plant that we tried and couldn't get an extract from, usually an extract is obtained. It will be able to extract all plants that can be tried in other extraction methods. However, for some materials, the extract could not be obtained by other methods, but we tried it in Supercritical and obtained the extract.   For which type of plants can be said to be the most effective method? We can say that it is the most suitable for the extraction of medicinal and aromatic plants. Because the use of few and valuable active ingredients in these plants is very logical in terms of the added value of the products produced by the system. In the USA and Canada, it is used very actively to obtain medicinal substances from cannabis leaves. . ## Products ### SC-500 Brand: SUPEREX URL: https://www.superex.com.tr/en/products/compact/sc-500/ Supercritical Extraction System Supercritical Extraction System 500 ml extractor column, Working pressure up to 345 Bar, Working temperature up to 70 °C, Extraction in Continuous (Dynamic) CO2 flow mode, Temperature control with PID algorithm, Digital fully automatic pressure control, Optional Co-solvent (10 ml/min) pump, Easy sample loading, Use of synthetic fabric baskets for solid samples,  Changeable flow direction for liquid samples, Possibility to take extract directly into Falcon tubes, Liquid trapping feature in the secondary Falcon separator, observable flow rate, Independent electronic and mechanical pressure safety system, All surfaces in contact with food are stainless steel, Smooth-honed reactor column against microbial attachments, Technical Specifications: Extraction vessel(s) — Number of vessels: 1; Working volume of one vessel: 0.5 L; Maximum operating temperature: +70 °C, optionally up to 200 °C; Maximum operating pressure: 345 bar (optionally up to 700 bar); Test pressure: 580 bar; Material: Stainless steel (AISI 316L) Separators for fractionation — Number of separators: 2 (optionally 3); Working volume of one separator: 150 mL; Maximum operating temperature: +70 °C; Maximum operating pressure: SP-1 = 200 bar (adjustable), SP-2 = 100 bar; Test pressure: 350 bar (or 160 bar for a working pressure of 100 bar); Material: Stainless steel (AISI 316L) High pressure pump — Maximum CO2 mass flow rate: 50 g/min at MAWP; Pump type: Dual-stage piston gas booster with steel (CK-45) housing and pneumatic drive (for up to 345 bar), or a hydraulic pump with fluid reservoir (for pressures higher than 345 bar).
