CO2 Extraction (SFE)
CO2 Extraction (SFE) is a leading green and sustainable method using carbon dioxide that produces intact natural ingredients with no trace of undesired residual solvents. SFE with carbon dioxide has found broad applications in Pharmaceutical, Food, Natural Products and Polymer/Plastic industries. Extended use of SFE is found in formulation, sterilization and environmental cleaning. Commercial industrial plants have been developed to produce decaffeinated coffee and tea, fatty acids, spices, vegetable oils and Hemp extracts.
PIC Solution extraction technology takes advantage of the tunable properties of CO2 to enable selective fractionation and for example separate terpenes from cannabinoids in a single extraction run.
