Hydrocarbon & Botanical Extraction Consulting Worldwide

Matthew Ellis has spent 17 years at the frontier of extraction technology. He co-founded Colorado's first licensed Manufacturer of Infused Products, built industry-leading hydrocarbon extraction systems, and helped set the safety standards the industry still follows today. BOEXCO exists to put that experience to work for you.

We bring that same hands-on expertise to clients around the world. Whether you are building your first extraction facility or scaling an existing operation, we bring the kind of real-world knowledge that only comes from having built this industry from the ground up.

The Difference Is Experience

01

We Built This Industry

We were there at the beginning, setting the safety standards and engineering benchmarks that the hydrocarbon extraction industry still follows today.

02

Real World Knowledge

We have personally designed, built, and operated extraction systems from 5 lbs to 500 lbs. We know what works because we built it.

03

Global Reach

We have worked in 15 countries across South America, Canada, the EU, Dubai, and South Africa. We understand international extraction regulations and logistics.

Full Spectrum Extraction Consulting Services

From concept to full operation, we cover every phase of your hydrocarbon or botanical extraction project.

01

Extraction Facility Design

Hydrocarbon extraction facility design is the discipline of planning a compliant, safe, and operationally efficient extraction environment before equipment selection begins. We apply the BOEXCO Facility Planning Framework to design C1D1 compliant hydrocarbon extraction facilities built for long-term operational efficiency. Learn why most facility designs fail before equipment ever arrives.

02

Equipment Specification & Project Management

We specify the right hydrocarbon, ethanol, DME or CO2 extraction equipment for your operation, scale, and budget. No guesswork, no overselling. We manage your extraction project from blank page to full operation, coordinating engineers, contractors, regulators, and equipment suppliers worldwide.

03

Regulatory Compliance

We understand local codes and international standards including C1D1 classifications, CRN certification in Canada, and the EU pressure directive. Read our post on the difference between compliant and safe.

04

Global Extraction Projects

We have managed large-scale extraction projects across 15 countries. We understand the regulatory, logistical, and technical challenges of building in international markets.

05

Legacy Parts Sourcing

With one of the deepest networks in the extraction equipment industry, we source hard-to-find components for systems that manufacturers no longer support.

06

GMP Consulting — URS, IQ/OQ/PQ, EU GMP & CGMP

For pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and regulated food markets. We handle URS development, DQ/IQ/OQ/PQ qualification, EU GMP and CGMP compliance, plus Legacy Equipment GMP Certification for existing systems. Learn more about our GMP services. Read our blog post on what GMP actually means.

Extraction Expertise Across Multiple Sectors

We work with operators and investors across a range of oil-bearing crops and botanical extraction applications including algae, hemp, essential oils, and other botanical oil crops worldwide.

Algae Botanical Oils Hemp Essential Oils Oil-Bearing Crops

Hard to Find Extraction Parts. We Find Them.

If your extraction operation is running older equipment and struggling to find replacement parts, that is exactly what we do. We source hard-to-find components for legacy extraction systems that manufacturers no longer support, including:

Matthew Ellis - Founder and Principal Consultant at BOEXCO Botanical Extract Consulting

Matthew Ellis

Founder & Principal Consultant

I've spent my career building businesses at the frontier of extraction technology. In 2008, my fascination with cannabis extraction led me to co-found Organa Labs, Colorado's first licensed Manufacturer of Infused Products. There, I pioneered CO2 extraction techniques, trained operators, and worked directly with Eden Labs to develop innovations that became the foundation of their High Flow System.

I then co-founded ExtractionTek Solutions, which grew into Colorado's premier manufacturer of professional-grade hydrocarbon extraction systems. After a legal dispute ended that chapter, I founded BOEXCO to bring my expertise directly to operators and investors worldwide.

I've built machines that process 5 pounds and machines that process 500 pounds. I know this industry because I built it from the ground up.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an extraction consulting firm do?
An extraction consulting firm guides operators and investors through every phase of building or improving an extraction operation. At BOEXCO that means facility design, equipment selection, regulatory compliance, project management, and parts sourcing. We handle the technical complexity so you can focus on building your business.
What types of extraction systems does BOEXCO work with?
We design and build extraction systems using a full range of solvents including Ethanol, Acetone, Hexane, Butane, Propane, CO2, and DME (Dimethyl Ether). Each solvent has unique properties, safety requirements, and end-product characteristics. We help operators select the right solvent and system for their specific application, scale, and regulatory environment. We have built systems processing everything from 5 pounds to 500 pounds of material and have designed facilities capable of processing 2,000 pounds per day.
What industries does BOEXCO serve?
We serve hemp, algae, essential oils, and other oil-bearing crop industries. Our expertise in hydrocarbon and CO2 extraction translates across all botanical applications where high-quality oil extraction is required.
Does BOEXCO work internationally?
Yes. We have managed large-scale extraction projects in 15 countries including markets across South America, Canada, the European Union, Dubai, and South Africa. We understand international regulatory requirements and the logistical challenges of building extraction facilities in different markets.
Can you help me find parts for my legacy extraction equipment?
Absolutely. This is one of our core services. We have one of the deepest networks in the extraction equipment industry and regularly source hard-to-find components for systems including ETS, Delta, Precision, Apeks, IES, Hal, and others. If your manufacturer no longer supports your system, contact us.
What does GMP compliance mean for a botanical extraction operation?
GMP stands for Good Manufacturing Practices. It is a comprehensive operating standard that governs facilities, processes, personnel, documentation, and equipment as a system. It is not a certification that gets stamped on a piece of equipment at the factory. For extraction operators serving pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, or regulated food markets, GMP compliance means starting with a User Requirements Specification before buying equipment, going through a formal qualification process including IQ, OQ, and PQ, validating your cleaning procedures, and maintaining everything under change control. BOEXCO also offers Legacy Equipment GMP Certification, a structured process that evaluates and validates your existing extraction equipment against GMP standards and produces the full documentation package regulators and pharmaceutical customers will ask for, without requiring you to replace capable equipment.
What should I look for when hiring an extraction consultant?
Look for someone who has actually built and operated extraction systems, not just studied them. Verify their knowledge of safety standards like C1D1 classifications and local fire codes. Ask who performed their peer reviews and whether they have worked in your specific market. Experience in a regulated industry is non-negotiable.
How do I get started with BOEXCO?
