Large Scale Extractions

Manufacturing Operations
 
Large scale extraction is the process of separating desired compounds from animal, plant, or microbial sources. This process is usually accomplished through grinding or dissolving the biomass material and then isolating the desired compound through filtration or chromatography.

In the pharmaceutical industry, large scale extraction is use to deliver intermediates for cGMP purification. Natural products that are routinely extracted by SAFC include enzymes, proteins, nucleotides, nucleosides, and lipids. The equipment used in this process is a Stainless Steel Vincent Screw Press with 1,500 gallon extraction tanks and 6,400 gallon holding tanks.
