Aerogel is a paradox. Ultra-light but incredibly strong Looks like smoke but insulates better than most solids 90% gas, yet a powerful thermal barrier Its porous structure is what makes it unique—but drying it without destroying it is a challenge.💥 That’s where supercritical CO2 (scCO2) drying makes all the difference. Preserves aerogel’s delicate structure - Eliminates surface tension, preventing cracks - Removes solvent residues efficiently - Speeds up~~ production while maintaining quality~~ At SFE Process, we specialize in supercritical CO2 technology for aerogel drying. From lab-scale feasibility studies to industrial-scale production, we provide cutting-edge solutions for the food, pharma, and materials industries. 🚀 Want to explore how scCO2 can optimize your aerogel production? Let’s talk. 👇 Find the link to the full article in the first comment.

Everyone talks about supercritical CO2 like it's expensive.

It builds the foundation for serious long-term savings. → Operating costs stay low. 🔁 You recycle the CO2. You emit almost nothing. Your carbon footprint drops. Your compliance costs follow. → Post-processing gets simpler. ⚙️ No solvents. No extra purification. Fewer hours. Fewer machines. Faster workflows. → Your system runs lean. ⚡ Lower heat. Shorter runs. Smaller energy bills. Compact cooling. Minimal maintenance. Maximum uptime. → Waste drops to a minimum. ♻️ Low waste = low disposal costs. Clean processes = strong ESG = more investor trust. 📈 High-performance teams focus on total cost of ownership. 🧠 They see the compounding benefits early. Supercritical CO2 delivers operational wins year after year. It builds long-term value. It scales with confidence. 🏆 Run the full model. The results speak for themselves.

Did you know? After decaffeination, CBD extraction is the second market that has pushed supercritical CO2 technology into the spotlight. And it’s no coincidence. With supercritical CO2, you get: → A pure extract, with no chemical solvents 🧪 → A safer process, with no toxic residues 🔬 → An eco-friendly solution, with recyclable CO2 🌍 Our innovation, the cold trap, takes it even further: It allows the extraction of terpenes from fresh flowers, resulting in a richer and more aromatic final product. Why is this technology becoming the gold standard for CBD extraction? Which equipment should you choose for optimal yield? Set up a complete production line, from CBD extraction to purification — all with supercritical CO2. Find all the answers in the comments 👇

Consumers desire natural cosmetics. Extracting plant actives while preserving their integrity presents a significant challenge. 🤔 → Maintain the plant’s natural scent and benefits.  🌸 → Avoid petrochemical solvents → Obtain pure and highly concentrated extracts At SFE Process, we’ve discovered the solution. ✅ With supercritical CO₂ extraction, you create extracts that are: → 100% natural and solvent-free → More pure and more potent → True to the original plant We’ve taken it a step further  with SIY (Scent It Yourself): a portable extractor that captures a plant’s fragrance on-site, preserving its authenticity. This is more than just extraction—it’s a new standard for purity and sustainability in cosmetics. ✨ Find the full article link in French and in English in the first comment. 👇

An IPA beer with intact aromas. A decaffeinated coffee without chemical solvents.

Extraction methods make all the difference. Choosing the right technique is the difference between a premium product… and an average one. Let’s talk about a method that truly raises the bar: supercritical CO2 extraction. Why does it outperform traditional methods? → Maximum purity ✨: No chemical solvents. Just CO2 that evaporates without leaving any residue. → Extreme selectivity 🎯: You extract exactly what you want. Nothing more, nothing less. → Product protection 🌱: No excessive heat, so sensitive compounds (like terpenes or essential oils) are preserved. → Eco-friendly 🌍: CO2 is recyclable. Waste and environmental impact are minimized. The cosmetics, food, and CBD industries know it well: this method is the key to clean and powerful products. Quality is never an accident. It comes from smart decisions made early on. 👉 Contact us to discuss it further!

💡 Et si c'était votre tour de vous former ? La meilleure façon d’apprendre, c’est de se plonger dans la réalité. Il y a deux semaines, Jérémy LAGRUE était à Chimie IUT Rennes pour transmettre ses connaissances en extraction au CO2 supercritique aux étudiants en Chimie Industrielle de l’IUT de Rennes. Merci à Chapellon Didier, Lydie Paugam, Catherine Couriol et Patrick LOULERGUE pour leur confiance. La semaine dernière, c’était à notre tour d’accueillir trois groupes d’étudiants de l’IUT Nancy-Brabois pour une nouvelle session de formation. Au terme de cette formation, nous avons eu la chance d’assister à la restitution des étudiants devant leurs professeurs. Encore un grand bravo à tous ! Merci à Clarisse Perrin et à Yann Guiavarc'h pour leur confiance. 🙂 Au programme : → Premiers pas sur notre pilote SFE Process → Découverte de l’extraction de beurre de cacao 🍫, d’anthocyane 🍇 et d’huile végétale avec le sésame 🌿 → Une immersion au cœur de la réalité Alors, êtes-vous prêts à vous former avec nous ?
