Low temperature extraction

Multi solvent subcritical low temperature extraction unit

Our company is a provincial subcritical technology center and a National Postdoctoral research workstation. We can customize the production line of subcritical biotechnology low temperature extraction equipment with a capacity of 5-100 tons for customers, which can realize multi solvent subcritical low temperature extraction.

The main subcritical fluids are liquefied butane and propane. The boiling points of the components in the solvent are mostly below 0 ℃. The boiling points of propane and butane are - 42.07 ℃ and - 0.5 ℃, respectively. They are gas at normal temperature and pressure, and liquid after pressure. The basic principle of the process is as follows: under normal temperature and certain pressure (0.3mpa-0.8mpa), the oil material embryo (such as walnut kernel, evening primrose seed, etc.) is extracted by subcritical fluid countercurrent, then the solvent in the mixed oil and meal is gasified under reduced pressure, and the gasified solvent gas is compressed, condensed and liquefied by compressor before recycling. It has the advantages of low cost (equivalent to No.6 solvent extraction cost, 60% lower than supercritical extraction cost) and large scale (100 kg-200 tons per day). It is widely used in the extraction of heat sensitive materials. The effective components of materials are not damaged by temperature. 

Advantages of the patented technology

(1) Extraction at room temperature, desolvation at low temperature (less than 40 ℃), no damage of heat sensitive substances in oil and meal, high yield of pigment in extract, bright color, it is an ideal process for extraction of vegetable oil, vegetable protein and natural pigment;

(2) The solvent consumption is low, and the solvent consumption per ton of raw material is less than 8kg;

(3) No steam is needed, only 90 ℃ hot water is enough. Compared with No. 6 solvent, 70% of thermal energy can be saved;

(4) Small investment and low production cost (compared with CO2 extraction equipment);

(5) Low equipment pressure and high safety (working pressure 0.3-0.7 MPa);

(6) The production scale is large, and the processing capacity of a complete set of extraction equipment can reach 0.1t-200t/d
