Supercritical fluid technology stands for processes that are performed at temperature and pressure either near or above the dangerous fact of a substance. One of the most popular submissions in 1970 was supercritical fluid extraction, which is also known as gas removal. This is because of the use of CO2 at temperature and pressure above the critical point. For more than a few applications, this supercritical fluid equipment is worthwhile at the industrialized scale. Through this blog, you will learn about the building of SFE Equipment.<br>

Construction of Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) Equipment SFE Equipment Supercritical fluid technology stands for processes that are performed at temperature and pressure either near or above the dangerous fact of a substance. One of the most popular submissions in 1970 was supercritical fluid extraction, which is also known as gas removal. This is because of the use of CO2 at temperature and pressure above the critical point. For more than a few applications, this supercritical fluid equipment is worthwhile at the industrialized scale. Through this blog, you will learn about the building of SFE Equipment.
Equipment setup: In equipment setup, the first step is constructing supercritical fluid removal 0.1L unit is collecting of the constituent support structure. Moreover, the processer of supercritical fluid extraction 0.1L contains 4 pieces of 800mm, 5 pieces of 710 mm, and 7 pieces of 510 mm. These pieces’ units are attached to the primary construction and the two steel plates are planned based on the previous design. After that, all of the components are situated with the objective of easy accessing the extractor, valve panel, separator, and process pointer.
Equipment validation: Two raw materials, annatto, and sweet fennel are used to validate the equipment. The annatto is used to validate the extraction line without a separator. On the other hand, fennel is used to validate the extraction monitored by separation.
Extraction and separation The extractor of critical fluid extraction 0.1 unit has a volume of 100 mL and an internal diameter relationship of 19. However, the two separators have a 90 mL volume, with a lateral entrance equipped with thermocouples that reach half the height of the cylinder. And permit estimates of the good boundary conditions and the temperatures at the central points of the cylinders. The extract masses are weight, and the yield after extraction is calculated as the mass of extract divided by the mass of dry basis. Overall extraction curve, which is cumulated mass of extract against the time of extraction and it can interpreted as containing three stages: The constant extraction rate period The falling extraction rate period The diffusion-controlled period Moreover, the overall extraction curve is adjusted to the spline model containing straight three lines. The funnel extraction is obtained at 200 bar and 313k according to the procedure with a flow rate of 12g/min and S/F of 10. The condition of the first separator is (80 bar, 312 k) and the condition of the second separator is (20 bar, 279K). After one hour of extraction, the extracts are stored at 255 K for late analyses.
