Supercritical Fluids can revolutionize your processes!
A supercritical fluid is any substance at a temperature and pressure above its thermodynamic critical point (31o C and 73 BAR for CO2). It is not a gas… not a liquid… but has the advantages of both. It is another state of matter with the unique ability:
- to diffuse through solids like a gas, yet
- dissolve materials like a liquid.
...........improving efficiency!
Additionally, by changing the SCF density with minor changes in temperature or pressure, you can selectively dissolve different compounds from a matrix… do separations without changing solvents! CO2 is most commonly used as a supercritical fluid. It is safe, inexpensive, environmentally friendly, and leaves no residue. These properties make it an ideal substitute for organic solvents. USE CO2 INSTEAD OF ORGANIC SOLVENTS.
A Supercritical Fluid
- is fast and selective
- allows for reduced extraction and purification steps
- provides decreased processing time
- has reduced organic solvents
- gives higher yield with lower cost
Applied Separations' SCF Advantage is that we can improve your current process method or take your new idea from the laboratory and bring it to the plant. We take you from Conception to Production with laboratory instrumentation, with pilot plants or with full production systems.
Contact us and we'll help you use Supercritical Fluids to improve your process.
Applied Separations offers a full line of SFE systems to meet the needs in your laboratory.
Spe-ed SFE Prime
Applied Separations has created the first teaching tool for Supercritical Fluids. Safe and affordable, this instrument is perfect for the classroom.
Supercritical Fluids (SCF) Education
As thought-leaders in the world of Supercritical Fluids, Applied Separations strikes to share its knowledge and experience to further the use of Supercricial Fluids.
Laboratory Instruments
Applied Separations has the instruments you need in your laboratory to handle the most complex to the most straight-forward SCF projects.
Pilot Plants: Small Production
The basic supercritical pilot plant is a "no frills" caster-mounted system for the budgetminded. You, as the user, determine the size of the system...
Industrial Scale Production
Applied Separations will work with you to pin-point your needs and determine the feasibility of your project.
Metal Injection Molding
Supercritical Fluids will revolutionize the debinding process.
Accessories
Not only do we offer SCF instruments, but a full line of accessories the customize your SCF instruments are also available.
Applications
