Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) and Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC) are advancing modern production in industries ranging from pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals to food, cosmetics, and forensics. These processes rely on the unique properties of supercritical CO₂—offering solvent-free, high-purity separation and extraction capabilities with minimal environmental impact.
However, the performance of any supercritical CO₂ system is only as good as its ability to control and measure mass flow precisely and consistently under dynamic conditions.
That’s where Siemens comes in.
Siemens' digital Coriolis mass flow meters, such as the SITRANS FCS100 paired with the FCT020 digital transmitter, ensure accurate low-flow measurement and high-speed communication in supercritical fluid extraction and chromatography systems.
Key features include:
-
✅ True mass flow measurement with no need for conversion factors
-
✅ High turndown ratios for flexible flow ranges in multi-step processes
-
✅ Direct density and temperature readings, enabling real-time condition monitoring
-
✅ Integrated digital diagnostics for predictive maintenance and enhanced system uptime
-
✅ Certified designs for use in high-pressure CO₂ and hazardous environments
By delivering unmatched measurement accuracy and reliability, Siemens flow systems help maintain the exact supercritical conditions needed to optimize extraction yields, separation quality, and product consistency.
