Gas compressor for solvent recovery in hydrocarbon extraction
Need efficient, explosion-proof gas recovery for butane or propane extraction? This solution offers rapid solvent recovery with minimal maintenance, ensuring safe and seamless integration into your existing production line.
The GC 5000 Gas Compressor, offered by Precision, is engineered to excel in solvent recovery for hydrocarbon extraction operations. This oil-less piston compressor utilizes PTFE seals to ensure leak-proof performance, recovering butane and propane with ease and safety. Applied in industries from cannabis extraction to fine chemicals, it excels in producing butane hash oil (BHO), cannabinoid distillates, and terpene-rich extracts. With a recovery speed between 1 to 5 lbs per minute, it integrates seamlessly with hydrocarbon extractors thanks to its NEMA7 switch, simplifying installation without requiring a C1D1 compliant environment. It operates at discharge temperatures up to 350°F and complies with Class 1, Division 1, Group D, and Class II, Groups F & G standards, ensuring safety and reliability. The compressor’s design prioritizes minimal maintenance and durability, supported by a 1-year warranty and the capacity for operation across various temperature controls and settings.
