Lesson 1.5.2

Hydrocarbon Extraction: Full Procedure

Estimated time: 90 minutes

Learning Objectives

  • Execute a complete closed-loop hydrocarbon extraction including system prep, leak check, column packing, extraction, inline dewaxing, CRC, recovery, and collection
  • Know critical process parameters: column packing density, soak time, recovery temperatures, residual solvent targets
  • Understand the solvent recovery process: passive and active, and how to verify full recovery
  • Purge residual solvents: vacuum oven protocols, time-temperature-vacuum parameters, and testing verification
  • Identify and troubleshoot: column channeling, slow recovery, CRC breakthrough, residual solvent failures
