Thar is the world leader in design, development, and manufacture of solvent-free pilot / lab-scale supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) systems. Supercritical fluid extraction is widely used in natural products, foods and flavors, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, polymers, chemicals, and parts cleaning industries. SFE, utilizing CO2 instead of solvent-based or other existing technologies, has several advantages. The laboratory SFE scale models from Thar starts from 100mL up to 10L. Models can include co-solvent pump, fractionation and recycling.
SFE applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries:
- Decaffination of coffee and tea
- Extraction of essential oils (vegetable and fish oils)
- Extraction of flavors from natural resources (nutraceuticals)
- Extraction of ingredients from spices and red peppers
- Extraction of fat from food products
- Fractionation of polymeric materials
- Extraction from natural products
- Photo-resist cleaning
- Precision part cleaning
