An extraction system comprising:
- a tank containing CO2 gas which comprises an inlet for filling the tank with CO2 gas and an outlet for allowing the gas to be transferred within the extraction system;
- an extractor-separator pressure vessel comprising a top portion, a bottom portion, an inlet and an outlet wherein the extractor-separator pressure vessel receives CO2 gas from the CO2 tank through one or more conduits which connect the CO2 tank with the inlet of the extractor-separator pressure vessel, wherein the extractor-separator pressure vessel includes an extraction chamber positioned towards the bottom portion of the extractor-separator pressure vessel for housing organic material to be extracted, a condenser zone located at the top portion of the extractor-separator pressure vessel, a collection zone located at the bottom portion of the extractor-separator pressure vessel and a main body located between the condenser zone and the collection zone, wherein the collection zone, main body and condenser zone are continuous with each other and integrally formed within the extractor-separator pressure vessel, wherein CO2 vapor enters the top portion of the extractor-separator pressure vessel through a bore through port and bore through tube and is pressurized to form a supercritical fluid, wherein the supercritical CO2 is passed through the organic material housed within the extraction chamber to extract various compounds and is subsequently delivered to the collection zone, wherein the collection zone is maintained at a temperature and a pressure which allows the supercritical CO2 fluid to vaporize and separate itself from oils contained in the supercritical CO2 fluid, wherein the vaporized CO2 rises within a main body portion of the extractor-separator pressure vessel separating itself from compounds entrained within the supercritical CO2, wherein the vaporized CO2 enters the condenser zone of the extractor-separator pressure vessel and contacts a condenser maintained at the top portion of the extractor-separator pressure vessel, wherein any organic compounds remaining within the CO2 vapor condenses out on the condenser and drips to the extraction chamber to further extract compounds from the organic material and subsequently enters the collection zone at the bottom portion of the extractor-separator pressure vessel for collection, wherein the condenser comprises two condenser ports and a center tube, wherein the two condenser ports allow fluid to enter and exit the condenser to maintain an operating temperature for extraction and to adjust the operating temperature for terminating extraction, wherein the center tube which allows CO2 vapor to exit the extractor-separator pressure vessel upon termination of the extraction, wherein the continuous and integrated arrangement of the collection zone, main body and condenser zone within the extractor-separator pressure vessel allow for continuous extraction without having to stop the extraction process.
