Abstract

A system for extracting oil from plant material includes a gas moving device propelling a gas stream, the gas stream being a stream of air or gas with or without entrained vapor, solids or droplets of liquid therein. The gas stream is directed through an extraction chamber, which is operable to volatize at least a portion of an oil from a plant material such that the volatilized oil is disposed in the gas stream as an extracted oil. A collection chamber is in communication with the extraction chamber such that the gas stream flows through the collection chamber. The collection chamber has collection solvent operable to collect at least a portion of the extracted oil from the gas stream. A liquid collector is in fluid communication with the collection chamber for collecting at least a portion of the collection solvent and extracted oil.
