Pure sCO₂ for supercritical fluid extraction (SFE)

Supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO₂) is non-flammable, thermally and chemically stable, reliable, 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 well-suited for supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), 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.
