Abstract
System and methods are disclosed to process a biomass with a cryogenic fractionator to decimate the biomass into small portions; a holding tank to receive liquid and the small portions of biomass; a cavitator to generate shock waves and pressure variations, wherein the shock waves and pressure variations are to the biomass and the liquid to separate oil from the biomass; a sensor to determine when oil concentration exceeds a threshold; and a valve to transfer the oil and liquid to an oil tank when the threshold is met.
