Thus the concentrated extracts obtained from SCFE truly preserve and represent the desired goodness present in natural raw materials. This aspect also vastly increases the application potential of natural molecules in processed foods, medicines (Nutraceuticals), convenience products etc.

Over the last few decades, Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SCFE) Technology has emerged as a superior alternative to the conventional techniques (solvent extraction or steam distillation etc). However, there is still a very large potential for the use of SCFE to achieve better value addition and to generate preference for quality natural products, as compared to the traditionally processed natural products that may undergo degradation during conventional processing steps, due to incorporation of heat, oxidation, hydrolysis etc.

Further, We have carried out a detailed feasibility study for SCFE based on existing price of spice oil and oleoresins (prices that of extracts from hexane extraction and steam distillation). SCFE shows a good profitability even without considering premium that may be obtained due to its better quality products. This justifies the investment and on long term perspective makes SCFE a preferred route.

Flow Diagram for SCFE Plant

In the supercritical fluid extraction (SCFE) process, extraction is carried out by a solvent above its critical pressure and temperature. A brief description of the SCFE process is given below.

The commercial scale SCFE plant has three extractors, two separators, one CO2 hold-up tank and heat exchangers (see enclosed flow diagram). The extraction process works in a closed loop with constant circulation of CO2 in the system. It is a semi-batch operation with typical batch time of 2 to 4 hours. CO2 is liquefied and fed to the hold-up tank through a heat exchanger (Condenser). Liquid CO2 is then fed to the high-pressure metering pump, through a heat exchanger (sub-cooler) to ensure supply of CO2 in liquid form. The high-pressure liquid from the pump discharge is then heated in a heat exchanger (pre-heater) to achieve supercritical temperature. The entrainer pump can be used for dosing a small quantity of other solvents such as water, ethanol etc. in to the CO2 stream, if desired. This supercritical fluid then flows through the extractors. The raw material powder, to be extracted is held in these extractors with help of perforated baskets for easy handling. Extractors are equipped with specially designed quick acting closures for easy and fast opening of extractors. At any given time only two extractors operate in extraction mode, while the third extractor is out of cycle for change of feed. When any of the two operating extractors need feed change, it is taken out of process and replaced by the third extractor having fresh feed. This sequencing continues to minimise the downtime required for feed change. The supercritical CO2 with dissolved extract then flows to separators.

In the separators, lower temperature and pressure conditions are maintained for recovery of the extract from the CO2 stream. Thus with proper selection of conditions, fractionation of extract can be achieved by using two separators operating in series. Separator-1 is maintained at supercritical conditions, where typically high molecular weight components of the extract precipitate. Whereas in separator-2 sub-critical conditions are maintained for complete recovery of any extract from CO2 stream. The CO2 vapour leaving separator-2 is condensed and fed back to CO2 hold-up tank.

When the solid feed in the extractor needs replacement or when plant is to be shut down, respective vessels are depressurised to atmospheric pressure. In doing so maximum possible CO2 is fed back to CO2 hold-up tank through CO2 depressurising line.

Cannabis Extraction

Background technology

Cannabidiol is extracted from industrial Cannabis, which is the main active ingredient in cannabine, It has a neuroprotective effect, no addictive and the effect of rheumatoid arthritis and anti- anxiety, caused wide attention in areas such as medicine and become a research hotspot in recent years. At present, the Cannabis oil extraction industry greater extraction with solvent extraction, and some of the existing extraction method to spend a lot of valuable organic solvent, high energy consumption, high extract cost, and there is residual solvent in the extracted cannabidiol, smelly, low purity.

Supercritical CO2 extraction can not only improve the extraction purity and extraction rate of industrial Cannabis oil, but also reduce environmental pollution and extraction cost.

By using supercritical CO2 fluid extraction technology to extract the Cannabis oil from industrial Cannabis,during the extraction, the cooled cannabis powd
