Importance of CO2 Feed from Density to Flow (Part 1 – Pressure)

Importance of CO2 Feed from Density to Flow (Part 1 – Pressure)

One of the most overlooked aspect of any extraction system is the CO2 supply.  It’s generally provided as a single CO2 cylinder, manifolded cylinder bank (12 -16 bottles manifolded) or by bulk storage (≥500 L @ 20 bar).  The type of delivery depends on the size of the...
Adaptive Pressure Control (APC™)

Adaptive Pressure Control (APC™)

One of the key parameters in supercritical CO2 extraction (SFE) is pressure control. There are two aspects that make this possible, a good automatic back pressure regulator and accurate PID control of this regulator. On the market there are a number for reputable...
