The removal of excess water from organic materials, specifically distillers grains, employing the use of supercritical carbon dioxide. The method includes the use of an extraction chamber, in which organic material containing excess moisture is subjected to a supercritical carbon dioxide loop which in turn solubilizes some of the water. Supercritical carbon dioxide enters the extraction chamber to offset the saturated, supercritical carbon dioxide which is removed from the extraction chamber. Upon exiting the chamber, the water is separated from the saturated supercritical carbon dioxide, after which the water depleted carbon dioxide is then returned to the extraction chamber again in the supercritical state; thus creating a carbon dioxide process loop.
