Abstract:
Refrigerated solvent is fed through a cooling jacket around an essential element extraction vessel. After circulating through the cooling jacket, the solvent is re-chilled and at least some of the solvent is passed into the extraction vessel, in which essential elements dissolve into the solvent. Downstream of the extraction vessel, after adsorbent media treatment, the extracted oil and solvent mixture is filtered, in a chilled state, through one or more filtration units. A filtration unit may be a system of vertically oriented filters of decreasing pore size sealed and insulated from the atmosphere. Pressurized gas is used to force the oil and solvent through the filters. Each filter stage has a removable lid, which provides convenient access for replacing the filter cartridge without disturbing the thermally insulated sidewalls of the filter stage.

Claim (Index 9):
The system of  claim 1 , comprising an adsorbent media treatment vessel downstream of the extraction chamber and a filtration system downstream of the extraction vessel, the filtration system comprising a solvent vessel, a plurality of filter stages and the same plurality of transfer tubes wherein\n each filter stage has:\n a thermally insulated cylindrical side wall; \n a lid that is removable from said wall; \n a replaceable, elongated filter cartridge; \n an inlet port in the lid located to introduce the solvent into the filter cartridge; and \n a base with an outlet port that drains the solvent from outside the filter cartridge; \n the solvent vessel has:\n a thermally insulated side wall; \n an inlet port configured for introducing pressurized gas; and \n an outlet tube having a first end located at a bottom region of the solvent vessel and a second end located outside the solvent vessel; and \n the transfer tubes are each removably connected:\n at an outlet end thereof to one of the inlet ports in one of the lids of the filter stages; and \n at an inlet end thereof to either the second end of the outlet tube of the solvent vessel or the outlet port of another of said filter stages such that the solvent vessel and the filter stages are connected in series.
