Innovation in supercritical CO2 extraction equipment
Frith Farm agreed to host our supercritical CO2 extraction pilot at their facility nearby Basingstoke UK. We look forward to work with Jim, Pete and their team at Frith Farm on extracting various exciting feedstocks that they grow.
We will be hosting a number of demo days throughout 2020 as well as accepting bookings for trials. If you would like to be updated on availability drop us a line or subscribe below.
Since summer 2019 we have been in communication with one of the oldest manufacturers of distillation equipment in the world, the company found in 1833. Nova Extraction is now a technology partner of Tournaire and provides expertise and fulfilment of supercritical CO2 extraction demands.
We are happy to join the Bioket community in 2020. We plan to share our experience in clean-tech extraction technology of using supercritical CO2 as an extraction media. Thank you Tournaire for a kind invitation to their section on EcoExtractions). We also will talk about potential benefits of on-site extraction.
We also will take part in start-up village presentations where we will have a table with brochures. Come and say hi.
Thanks to the team of Kazakhstan National University for trust and ordering a laboratory pilot extraction system for their team in Almaty. Next 6 months we will be building a modular high performance pilot supercritical fluid extraction device that they will be using in research.
Since January 2018 we are part of the EIT Climate KIC start-up accelerator; a programme designed to help emerging companies and technologies with the focus on sustainability. We happily joined other 9 start-up for an investors’ day held in South Kensington, London. We met some great names like Mustard Seed, Octopus Ventures, Earth Angel Investors and many others to share our story and explore opportunities to work together.
Thank you Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) and UK Business Angels Association (UKBAA) for the opportunity and pitch our project. It has been a great experience presenting our business case of off-grid supercritical CO2 extraction for flavours and fragrance. Thank you for challenge, your interest and support. We will be running fund-raising campaign until the end of 2018, please reach out if interested in early stage clean-tech.
High Value Chemicals from Plants (HVCfP) is a network of academic institutes and businesses with focus on exactly what it says in the title. It is a part of larger Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) that focuses on creating best environment for the bio-tech in UK.
We had a chance to present at the HVCfP event with focus on upcycling plant waste, we spoke about extracting value from waste coffee grounds, from husks of cacao and raspberry seeds. But the list of potential feedstocks is much longer.
We are now part of the network as an off-grid supercritical CO2 extraction equipment manufacturer.
Thank you Circular Economy Club (CEC) for taking us into the family. CEC is the international network of over 2,600 circular economy professionals and organisations from over 60 countries. We at Nova Extraction truly believe in the concept of circular economy, a concept of creating future without waste. Our technology can help adding value to waste products like Coffee Grounds by extracting valuable ingredients.
We got great news that we will be presenting at Royal Society of Chemistry event for UK Business Angels Association. Recently we became a part of RSC Enterprise Plus network who will host an event to promote UK chemistry start-ups in April this year. This is a great opportunity for both start-ups and early stage investors to build relationships and accelerate the development of UK cutting edge business.
We were lucky to attend Food Industry Innovation event hosted by Innovate UK in Manchester last week. Among other exciting food products like baobab drinks, amazing kambucha drink and spicy sugar free drinks, we met guys who started first saffron farm in UK, The Cheshire Saffron Company. We will see if we can use our technology helping them extracting saffron flavour from trimmings.
