Closed Loop System

Summit Research’s Closed Loop System (CLS) is the pinnacle of engineering in the extraction industry. Designed and manufactured in the USA, the CLS is known for its unparalleled quality, precision, and performance. Peer reviewable and built to meet the highest industry standards, this system offers both reliability and efficiency, making it the preferred choice for laboratories and facilities focused on hydrocarbon extraction.

Passive System with Cryogenic Cooler

The standard Closed Loop System comes with a passive design that integrates a built-in cryogenic cooler, eliminating the need for external chillers. This innovative feature allows the system to operate smoothly by heating on the recovery side and generating vapor for recovery through coil condensation of hydrocarbons. The inclusion of cryogenic cooling enhances the system’s versatility, enabling it to operate efficiently in various extraction environments.

Complete System Components

The Closed Loop System includes everything necessary to get your extraction process up and running. All components are of the highest quality, ensuring durability and consistent performance. The standard purchase package includes:

• Populated Rack with Material Column
• Filtration Sock for material filtration
• CRC/Remediation column for color and impurity removal
• Collection Column to gather the extracted material
• Drier to maintain product purity
• Complete Swagelok Tubing and Attachments for secure connections
• Valves and Supports for operational stability
• Safety Valves/PRV’s to ensure system protection
• ASME Solvent Storage Tank for safe storage of hydrocarbons
• Plate Exchanger for cooling, usable with LN2 or a Chiller
• Recovery Coils to assist with vapor condensation
• Jacketed Vessels for temperature control during the extraction process

Compact and Efficient Design

One of the standout features of the Closed Loop System is its 360-degree design, which fits more functionality into a smaller footprint. This is particularly beneficial for labs and extraction facilities that need to maximize their workspace. With the Plated Heat Exchanger now integrated into the base of the unit, the system’s footprint has become even smaller, further optimizing space usage.

• Small Footprint: Maximizes laboratory space while offering comprehensive functionality.
• Integrated Plated Heat Exchanger: Allows for more efficient operations without increasing the system size.

Versatility for Crude and High-Grade Extractions

Summit Research’s Closed Loop System is versatile enough to handle a wide range of extraction processes. From crude cannon work to high-grade tuned extractions, this system can seamlessly transition between different tasks, making it a go-to solution for a variety of applications.
