Applied Extracts Inc. was founded in 2017 by an MIT Ph.D. engineer and a dedicated team of engineers and extraction scientists in Silicon Valley. We began by designing and manufacturing small-scale supercritical CO₂ extractors in the Bay Area. Through continuous innovation and new product development, we have grown rapidly and built a portfolio of high-pressure materials processing equipment that is unique in the industry.
Over the past nine years, we have steadily expanded our offerings to include supercritical CO₂ extractors, pressurized liquid extraction systems (PLE/Organosolv), hydrocarbon solvent extractors (butane, propane and other volatiles), and supercritical water reactors. Our systems include Class 1 Div 1, fully automated, rated and certified in accordance with UL, CSA, ASME and all applicable state and provincial standards. We currently have systems installed on four continents!
Our equipment serves a wide range of applications, including:
• Botanical oil production (lab- and pilot-scale)
• Lithium-ion battery recycling
• Biorefinery and bioprocessing pilot plants
• Bio-oil and sustainable aviation fuel research and development
If you have a novel process or equipment requirement, contact our engineering team to discuss your application in detail.
We offer custom-engineered process solutions with short delivery times, Made in USA quality, and local support.
