Pilot Units for Supercritical Fluid Extractions of Solids Brochure

2Pilot Units for Supercritical Fluid Extraction of SolidsModular SFE pilot unit built for 500 bar max. operating pressure designed for pharmaceutical research (Germany). The system includes the options fractionated separation, modifier system and Coriolis mass flowmeter.Sophisticated final separator with controlled liquid CO2level for the prevention of aerosol forming.Standard Design OptionsMax. operating pressure 300 bar 500, 700 barMax. operating temperature 80°C 120, 150, 200°CCO2 flow 18 l/h 10, 30, 50, 100 l/hExtractor capacity 1 litre 2, 4, 6, 10, 20 litresSelective separation of valuable thermolabile components from solid and liquid raw materials using a supercritical gas as solvent. Advantagesn Low-temperature separation produces natural extractsn Chemically inert and non-toxic solvents leave no residue in the extractn Solubility variation achieved by changing extraction pressure and temperaturen High selectivity and diffusion rateFeaturesn Closed CO2 cyclen Contaminant-free recirculation of supercritical solventn High-performance separation stepn Hand-operated quick-opening closuresn Continuous process with liquid raw materialsOptionsn Fractionated separation with fluid cyclonen Fractionated extractionn Modifier systemn Multivessel designn Preparation for retrofit with additional extractors, separators, etc.n Data acquisition systemn Process control and batch documentation with programmable logic controller (PLC)Hand-operated quick-opening closure Sampling valve for extractHeating jacketSapphire windows for visual observation of phase boundaryInternal temperature measurementLevel controller for liquid CO2
