A fluid connection (5, 38) is provided in between the first screw conveyor outlet (4) and the second screw conveyor inlet (6). The fluid connection is adapted to enable flow of plant material from the first screw conveyor outlet to the second screw conveyor inlet. The first screw conveyor has a first fluid outlet at its downstream side. The second screw conveyor has a second fluid outlet at its downstream side.

A liquid extractor may include an extraction chamber containing a bed deck configured to support a solid material as the solid material is conveyed through the extraction chamber. To introduce solvent into the solid material being processed, the extractor may include a solvent injection orifice extending through the bed deck and a solvent injector. The solvent injector can receive solvent from a source and cause the solvent to rotate within the solvent injector before discharging the solvent through an outlet in fluid communication with the solvent injection orifice. The rotational flow motion imparted by the injector can create a vortex that functions to scout out any particles that may be present in the injector.

An extraction system and method of extraction are described herein. The extraction system generally includes an extraction vessel including a vessel body, an extraction solvent inlet, a material inlet, and an outlet, a collection vessel operably connected to the outlet, a dispersion devise disposed proximate the extraction solvent inlet and including a first surface and a second surface, a plurality of openings formed in the dispersion device and extending from the first surface to the second surface, whereby the plurality of openings are adapted for the flow of an extraction solvent therethrough.

A method for extracting an analyte from a solid sample is described. The sample is sealed in a porous membrane bag, which is sonicated in an organic solvent. An extract of the analyte forms in the bag and diffuses into the organic solvent. The organic solvent containing the extract may then be concentrated and analyzed for an analyte with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The method does not the use of a solid sorbent material, and does not require a step of centrifuging or filtering.

An inline drain sanitizing system, includes: a manifold assembly including an inlet port, an outlet port, and a treatment port, wherein: the inlet port is configured to be couplable to a condensate supply line and receive unsanitized condensate, and the outlet port is configured to be couplable to a condensate drain line and provide sanitized condensate; and a treatment subsystem configured to interface with the treatment port and process the unsanitized condensate to generate the sanitized condensate.

A solid-liquid separation device performs dehydration or deoiling from a treated object using a substance A that is a gas at normal temperature and pressure and is capable of dissolving water and oil when liquefied. The separation device includes a substance B that circulates while generating phase change in a closed system, a compressor that compresses the substance B, a first heat exchanger that condenses substance B and evaporates of the substance A, an expansion valve that decompresses the condensed substance B, a second heat exchanger that evaporates substance B and condenses substance A, and a treatment tank wherein substance A is mixed with the treated object, substance A is evaporated while separated from the liquid in the first heat exchanger, and condensed in the second heat exchanger. The center of gravity of the first heat exchanger is lower than the second heat exchanger in a vertical direction.

To provide a solid-liquid separation system in which a stable operation can be continuously conducted and the introduction cost and the running cost can be suppressed, in cases where moisture or oil are separated from a substance containing moisture or oil by using changes in phase of a working fluid having a nature of dissolving moisture or oil in a liquid phase. Provided is a solid-liquid separation system in which a working fluid that dissolves moisture or oil in a liquid phase is liquefied and brought into contact with a solid substance to thereby allow the working fluid to contain moisture or oil that has been contained in the solid substance, and then the working fluid is vaporized to precipitate the moisture or oil, characterized in that the solid-liquid separation system is provided with a fluid circuit in which a high-temperature-side heat exchanger that vaporizes the working fluid by a refrigerant, a low-temperature-side heat exchanger that liquefies the working fluid by the refrigerant are connected to circulate the working fluid, and a refrigerating cycle in which a compressor, a condenser that exchanges heat with a heat source other than the working fluid, the high-temperature-side heat exchanger, an expansion mechanism, and the low-temperature-side heat exchanger are sequentially connected to circulate the refrigerant, and that the solid-liquid separation system includes a recovery operation mode in which the working fluid in a filling tank is vaporized, besides the solid-liquid separation.
