5L Fully Automated Compound Remediation System
A bench-scale system that refines a finished botanical extract, selectively removing unwanted constituents at room temperature while preserving the aromatics and actives.
Description
The 5L Compound Remediation System is a bench-scale platform for refining a finished botanical extract to a target specification. Rather than pulling compounds from raw plant material, it selectively removes unwanted constituents – off-notes, pigments, waxes and trace solvents – from an extract you already hold, at room temperature and low pressure, so the desired aromatics and actives are corrected without heat damage. Its small batch size suits R&D, method development and high-value small lots.
How remediation works, step by step
1. LoadCharge the finished extract into the 5 L process vessel.
2. DissolveInert R134a selectively takes up the target fractions at 15-45 °C.
3. SeparateTargeted unwanted constituents are partitioned out and drawn off.
4. RecoverThe corrected extract is collected and the solvent recovered for reuse.

Refining, not extracting
Remediation is a refining step, not a primary extraction. The 5L system treats an extract that has already been produced and uses controlled low-pressure R134a to selectively dissolve the fractions you want to keep while leaving targeted impurities behind. Because the whole process runs at room temperature, the corrected profile keeps its volatile aromatics and active strength.
At bench scale the 5 L vessel is sized for development work: dialing in a remediation method, correcting small high-value lots, or qualifying a process before moving it to pilot or production. The solvent’s low boiling point means recovery is fast and the refined extract is residue-free and ready for analysis.

Frequently asked questions
Extraction pulls compounds out of raw plant material. Remediation refines an extract you already have, selectively removing unwanted constituents while preserving the target profile.
No. The process runs at room temperature (15-45 °C) and low pressure, so volatile aromatics and actives are not thermally degraded.
A finished botanical extract or concentrate. The 5 L vessel handles roughly 0.7 kg per batch.
It is built for R&D, method development and small high-value lots. For pilot and production volumes, see the 25L and 150L systems.
Inert, non-flammable R134a, recovered quickly thanks to its low boiling point.
Yes. The solvent is non-flammable, non-explosive and non-toxic, and pressure transducers shut the system down automatically to prevent over-pressurization.
