Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SCFE) Technology

SCFE is rapidly gaining acceptance as the most preferred extraction technology the world over. This replaces conventional solvent extraction technology which is being edged out, owing to the problems faced in the solvent extraction process.
SCFE process ensures that no harmful solvents, chemicals or chemical residues are present in the extract
The extract retains the delicacy and the freshness, smell and taste close to natural which is most essential for the food, fragrance and pharmaceutical industries.
SCFE is a Green technology and is very environmentally friendly and fully meets all Proposition 65 requirements.
Satvayur's plant is based on technology from USA and is a best of breed fully automated PLC plant.

Pilot Plant

No loss of volatile components
No use of environmentally damaging organic solvents and no solvent residues in the end products
CO2 is inert, non-toxic and non-inflammable
CO2 prevents oxidation and thermal degradation of the extracts
CO2 contains no inorganic salts or heavy metals
CO2 retards microbial/bacterial growth in the extraction process
SCFE process with CO2 is an environmentally sustainable process
SCFE process with CO2 is versatile since CO2 is selective in fractionation, i.e. Different products can be extracted at different pressures
Does not extract pesticidal substances from primary flora
Supercritical CO2 diffuses well in the substrate, providing a superior quality due to extraction of almost all active nodes
CO2 is gaseous at room temperature and pressure, enabling a solvent-free end product to be recovered easily
CO2 allows for extraction of compounds which are easily oxidised or are thermally unstable or thermally labile, since it can be operated at low temperatures. Also there is no thermal degradation of product
CO2 is certified as GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe) as per US FDA standards
