Field notes
The page lays out a biomass-in, extraction-chamber, separation-cascade, CO₂-recovery sequence and compares it with conventional supercritical CO₂ and hexane processing. It says conventional supercritical systems may require 40 minutes to 16 hours per cycle and limit pre-processing or scale; Nextract claims a cycle under 20 minutes. The company also describes the installation as sized to the stream and able to run within existing plant operations.
