Scaling CO₂ extraction is not a matter of increasing vessel size. The engineering changes at every level.
At lab scale, systems allow short batch cycles, minimal pressure drop and straightforward temperature uniformity. At production scale, systems introduce significantly different flow dynamics, vessel geometry that directly influences extraction kinetics, and CO₂ recycling efficiency that becomes a major cost variable.
Operators who approach scale-up without accounting for these differences often find themselves correcting problems after commissioning, rather than running consistent production from the start.
Buffalo Extraction Systems engineers each scale level with these distinctions built in:
Level 1 10L/15L: Pilot, R&D and product development
Level 2 50L/75L: Mid-scale and commercial entry
Level 3 200L/300L: Full production and continuous operation
The engineering is specific to each level. The extract quality is consistent across all three.
