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.
