Owner-operator capacity

I own and operate large-scale closed-loop hydrocarbon extraction equipment: two 6x48 columns and one 8x48 column, with 200 lbs biomass/day capacity, running both active and passive solvent recovery, and can be cooled with either dry ice or chillers. It is off-grid capable, with a 10kW renewable power attachment (wind, solar, hydro). I also run client systems, and work with 5L/10L short-path distillation.

Owned closed-loop hydrocarbon system

• Columns: two 6x48 and one 8x48 material columns
• Capacity: 200 lbs of biomass per day
• Solvent recovery: both active and passive recovery
• Cooling: dry ice or chillers
• Power: off-grid attachment with a 10kW renewable supply (wind, solar, hydro)

Support equipment diagnostics & repair

Beyond the extractor itself, I diagnose and repair most mechanical issues on support equipment: chillers, recovery pumps and compressors, heaters and water pumps. See consulting →

Teardown, rebuilds & upgrades

I can fully tear down a closed-loop hydrocarbon system, find and fix leaks, and reassemble it. I also re-engineer and upgrade systems with different condenser units and chillers to improve the process and the finished product. See consulting →

Client systems

I also run client systems, including closed-loop hydrocarbon setups and 5L/10L short-path distillation.

Why it matters

• Off-grid power means the equipment can run on renewable energy without depending on a grid connection.
• Flexible cooling (dry ice or chillers) lets the system work across sites and conditions.
• Choosing active or passive recovery gives control over run speed and how gently the oil is treated.
