Abstract:
A system and method of extracting fluids from biomass material through the use of closed system capable of both low pressure and pressurized extraction that utilizes a combined vacuum and fluid collection tank, thus enabling different levels of pressure and vacuum to achieve a wide range of temperatures and allowing for variations in the chemical properties of the resultant extracted fluid. Although vacuum is preferred for safety, pressure is available when necessary, such as due to higher levels of filtration in which the use of vacuum is insufficient.

Claim (Index 1):
A processing system for biomass material, the system comprising:\n a material vessel capable of receiving the biomass material; an evaporator vessel coupled to the material vessel; a condenser coupled to the evaporator vessel; a storage tank for solvent coupled to the material vessel; a source of reduced air pressure coupled to the condenser and selectively coupleable to the storage tank, the reduced air pressure source capable of creating a reduced air pressure in the condenser that is applied to the material vessel through the evaporator vessel to draw solvent from the solvent tank through the biomass material to thereby draw a fluid mixture of solvent and oil from the biomass material into the evaporator vessel; a source of positive air pressure coupled to the storage tank that is capable of creating an increased air pressure in the storage tank to push solvent from the solvent tank through the biomass material to thereby draw a fluid mixture of solvent and oil from the biomass material into the evaporator vessel; and a heating device coupled to the material vessel and the evaporator vessel and capable of applying heat to the material vessel and to the evaporator vessel.
