Solvent extraction unit

The Greek gods on Mount Olympus possessed a natural resource with great properties, a drink that rendered them immortal: nectar (νέκταρ). For mortals, CELSIUS has developed NECTACEL extraction processes and equipment. Nature contains a wealth of molecules with very interesting properties for humans, for healing or simply for their well-being. Nature is an infinite resource for cosmetics, flavours, scents, nutraceuticals, etc. Many organic molecules can be used for their active principles, their flavour, their odour, their nutritional properties, or for other specific properties that, when combined with others, are of great importance. Whether sought for health, beauty or nutritional goals, CELSIUS uses plant chemistry principles to build extract, reagent, essential oil, concrete, absolute or functional ingredient production equipment. CELSIUS builds NECTACEL facilities for solvent-based extraction of plant or animal molecules. Extraction, followed by separation of solvent from extract, are performed at atmospheric pressure, under vacuum or under pressure, either with or without stirring. Each unit is designed for a specific matrix and extraction solvent: Steam, Water, Alcohol, Hexane, Toluene, etc Green solvents, Liquid gases. NECTACEL extraction units are designed with CELSIUS’s chemical engineering, process engineering and thermodynamics expertise, and with a constant eye for facility safety, optimised resource management, energy savings and environmental protection.
