Supercritical fluid extraction separates one component from another by using supercritical fluids at high pressure obtains natural extracts enriched with bioactive compounds
About
Supercritical fluid extraction performs more quickly and selectively compared to traditional methods. Continuous system feeding accelerates mass transfer, reduces solvent (carbon dioxide) uses and offers economic advantages.
The advantages of this extraction system:
High material quality
Various product and capacity options tailored to clients needs
Custom design and R&D activities to meet specific requirements
Design compliant with occupational health & safety standards
Low maintenance costs
Customer-focused service and solutions
Capacity to operate at low temperatures
Continuous process optimisation with PLC and SCADA
Key Benefits
Supercritical fluid extraction performs more quickly and selectively compared to traditional methods. Continuous system feeding accelerates mass transfer, reduces solvent (carbon dioxide) uses and offers economic advantages. Moreover it leaves no solvent residue at the end of the process, eliminating the need for additional purification. The process can be produced in different capacities to suit individual needs.
