Pure sCO₂ for supercritical fluid extraction (SFE)

Supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO₂) is non-flammable, thermally and chemically stable, dependable, inexpensive and easy to obtain. These properties make it ideal for an array of uses. 

For example, manufacturers use sCO₂ in supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) processes to make decaf coffee, perfumes, essential oils and plant-derived medicines. It can even dry-clean clothes. 

Supercritical CO₂ is also useful in the processing of foods, drugs, natural products, herbicides and pesticides, fossil fuels, explosives, and propellants. Plus, new uses continue to surface, including as a “working fluid” in gas turbines and other systems.
