Supercritical CO₂ extraction System Pilot plant

Carbon dioxide becomes supercritical phase at a temperature of 32 ° C and a pressure of 72 atm or higher. Supercritical CO₂ is neither a liquid nor a gas, but has the characteristics of high diffusivity of a gas and high solubility of a liquid. The characteristics are adjustable by changing the temperature and pressure, so it is widely used in the field of extraction and removal of components of food, herbal medicines, etc. The following facilities are pilot plant scale.
