Erina Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 I have been looking into the technique of extracting plant oils with CO2 gas in a controlled atmospheric environment. Usually, plants are steam distilled to extract what is known as essential oils form the plant, but this is not always possible, however with CO2 extraction it can, and with more control. The problem is that there are not a lot of commercial options available, as yet, on the market for this technique, and those which are command a higher price for the same plant. Are there any UK based CO2 extration facilities that could handle volume ?

Erina Posted September 17, 2021 Author Posted September 17, 2021 Time. I just don't have it. On a science forum there will likely be those with the knowledge to give me well known names to check up on. Don't troll, just be helpful.
