Trials and Driving Efficiencies in Gas Extraction

SPX has extensive test facilities and has carried out pilot tests on this new extraction technology on herbals and other materials. The results have shown high yields with rapid extraction and the system does not need the high-pressure machinery required with the use of CO₂. In addition to a high product quality, this solution offers the potential for significant cost savings in applications.

The company continues to innovate and research to deliver technology which offers real savings and efficiency improvements to its customers. The new liquid gas extraction process is also available as a pilot plant for trials at customers’ sites.

SPX has developed the new extraction technology and offers solutions in the fields of extraction, evaporation, vacuum and freeze drying. The specialists at SPX have an in-depth understanding of both the technology used and how to effectively apply it, expertise which is critical to optimising process efficiencies for extraction applications. Supported by the use of the test centres and pilot plants, SPX solutions are specifically engineered to meet exact customer requirements and ensure the highest yields and efficiencies.

Lower Pressure = Lower Equipment Costs

Now accepted for use within the food industry and gas extraction installations, DME offers significant advantages in both its extraction and product characteristics. Its lower pressure requirements equates to significant reductions in equipment costs and still delivers the performance and efficiency expected from SPX extraction vessels. This new process further demonstrates the continued, sustained drive for innovation at SPX.
