The Arometrix Hydrocarbon EXTRACTION FINDER is a real-time molecular monitoring system that enables extraction technicians to maximize extraction efficiency on every run.

Traditionally, the extraction process has been more of an art, where technicians rely on intuition, extract color, past experience, and other subjective techniques to change extraction parameters. This is an inefficient way to develop, optimize, or validate an extraction process.

Extraction laboratory technicians and managers can utilize this real-time molecular data to inform key process decisions, such as determining when the initial extraction is over. With the EXTRACTION FINDER, extraction technicians can scientifically track solvent saturation of active molecules, as well as undesirable compounds, to continuously improve extraction efficiency.

Key Applications:

Hydrocarbon Extraction

• Primary sensor installation location:  Right after the material column
• Primary purpose:  Tracking solvent saturation to determine when the extraction process (wash) is finished
• Secondary sensor installation location:  Right after the filtration / CRC column
• Secondary purpose:  Tracking the separation of undesirable compounds from the solution to ensure clean output material and maintain QA/QC

Ethanol Extraction

• Primary sensor installation location: Right after the centrifuge / wash basin
• Primary purpose: Tracking solvent saturation to determine wash completion

Solventless Extraction

• Primary sensor installation location: Right after the agitation
• Primary purpose: Reduction of Chlorophyll and Lipids in output

DON’T JUST DO YOUR PROCESS. KNOW YOUR PROCESS.
