A Fundamentally Different Approach.
A Fundamentally Different Approach.
Osmotech’s patented process replaces flammable solvents and high-pressure systems with biodegradable, surfactant-based chemistry operating at ambient conditions.
The result: safer facilities, lower costs, purer output.
From Plant to Pure
The Osmotech process integrates two phases—extraction and purification—into a complete, end-to-end solution. Unlike legacy methods that require separate equipment and facilities for extraction and refinement, Osmotech provides integrated processing from raw biomass to crystalline isolates or purified oils.
Each phase is optimized for different objectives: upstream extraction maximizes yield and selectivity; downstream purification delivers precise crystalline structures or refined oil profiles.
Surfactant-Based Extraction
The Problem
Traditional extraction relies on volatile solvents—ethanol, butane, hexane—that require explosion-proof facilities and leave residual contamination.
The Solution
Osmotech’s patented approach uses a biodegradable, surfactant-based process fluid that selectively lifts target compounds through molecular affinity—not brute-force dissolution.
How It Works
- 1
Biomass Introduction
Fresh, wet, or dried plant material enters the system. No grinding to fine particles required.
- 2
Process Fluid Application
Proprietary surfactant formulation penetrates plant structures.
- 3
Selective Compound Lifting
Surfactants encapsulate target molecules based on affinity, leaving undesired compounds behind.
- 4
Mechanical Separation
Hydrated biomass is mechanically processed to recover the extract-laden process fluid.
- 5
Fluid Recovery
Process fluid is separated from crude extract and recycled for subsequent batches.
Fresh Biomass
Process material directly from harvest. No drying required.
Ambient Pressure
No high-pressure vessels. Standard facility requirements.
Zero Solvents
No volatile organic compounds. Automatic ICH Q3C compliance.
Purification & Crystallization
Once target compounds are extracted, the downstream phase transforms crude extract into market-ready products: crystalline isolates at 98%+ purity or refined oils with precise compound profiles.
Crystalline Isolates
Single-compound pharmaceutical-grade crystals
Purified Oils
Targeted compound profiles with unwanted elements removed
Broad Spectrum
Natural compound ratios preserved for entourage applications
The Process
Purification proceeds through controlled crystallization—a technique borrowed from pharmaceutical manufacturing. By precisely managing temperature, saturation, and nucleation conditions, we guide target compounds to form highly ordered crystalline structures while impurities remain in solution.
This isn’t artisanal guesswork. It’s automated, reproducible, and scalable.
Introducing Crystal Clear
Proprietary crystallization control software that transforms manual, operator-dependent processes into automated, reproducible production.
Method-Driven Protocols
JSON-defined protocols enable systematic R&D.
Real-Time Monitoring
Temperature, saturation, and crystal formation tracked continuously.
Hardware Abstraction
Scale seamlessly from pilot to factory floor.
Why Software Matters
In traditional extraction, crystallization is an art—dependent on operator skill, ambient conditions, and batch-to-batch intuition. Crystal Clear transforms it into engineering.
• Configurable method files define every parameter
• Automated execution removes operator variability
• Data logging enables continuous process optimization
• Hardware abstraction means methods transfer seamlessly from R&D to production scale
