Why So Much Interest in Supercritical Fluids?

Supercritical fluid is an efficient, green product!

In its supercritical state, CO₂ has both gas-like and liquid-like qualities, and it is this dual characteristic of supercritical fluids that provides the ideal conditions for extracting compounds with a high degree of recovery in a short period of time.

• Reducing global warming (Green Gases)
• Reduces hazardous waters (Organic Solvents)
• Protects consumer health (No hazardous residues left behind / organic foods)
• Workers’ health (Safer conditions / reduced exposure to chemical solvents)
  - Lowers cost and decreased turnaround time, more efficient process
