Supercritical Membrane and Cold Distillation Technologies

Aqueous Gold

Non-Thermal, Low Cost Separation and Purification

Aqueous Gold is an early stage technology company. We apply our own patented continuous supercritical cold distillation technology to build processing equipment that uses CO2 to extract, purify and reclaim the valuable nutrients in foods, chemicals and waste streams. We deliver low cost and high purity separation of biofuels, nutraceuticals, flavors and fragrances, as examples. Our technology replaces all conventional distillation processes, thereby allowing you to purify, separate and concentrate aqueous liquids at non-thermal temperatures, so that no thermal damage can occur. For the first time ever, fresh juice, for example, literally retains all the fresh squeezed nutrition and flavor. Our process recycles CO2, has a carbon neutral footprint, and results in enormous energy savings and green effeciencies. Aqueous Gold is located in Santa Barbara, California.

Purify, Separate and Concentrate to Perfection

Aqueous Gold´s Supercritical CO2 technology purifies and separates liquids at non-thermal temperatures at higher quality and lower cost. All food distillation processes practiced today are one of various forms of thermal distillation essentially unchanged since the 8th century. They are all high temperature methods that tear apart the complex organic flavor and nutritional molecules in foods and other naturally occuring compounds. By contrast, Aqueous Gold´s transformational processing technology operates entirely below thermal damaging temperatures, where nutrition and top note molecular destruction is impossible… Find out more
