Extrapolation from pilot plant to industrial scale SFE: a case study

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter describes an extrapolation procedure and a case study to illustrate economical estimation of supercritical fluid extraction. These methods are dependent on the nature extraction based experimental results obtained pilot plant units. Technical design determines operating conditions, optimal configuration plant, dimension number extractors, capacity pump. The requires some data that have be determined unit. allow determining best conditions system production from technical point view. If optimization concern only step process, it is important optimize other parts process—the extract recovering fractionation, energetic process optimization, or improvement extractor emptying loading also points must considered in industrial design.
