Development of customised processes for supercritical extraction.
In cooperation with experienced institutes and companies, processes are developed from the first tests to application in production scale. Process development is accompanied by economic evaluation in order to help the customer to take his decision in favour of installing a production plant, even in an early state of development.
Dyeing of man-made fibres in supercritical CO₂ and processes for dyeing of yarns, fabrics and ready-to-wear clothes.
Development of equipment for supercritical fluid applications e.g. quick acting closures, valves, separators.
Design and fabrication of experimental installations.
