Quick closing system Quick opening cover design needs only one-eighth of a turn rotation for sealing. Ideal for high pressure operations requiring repetitive opening/closing. The “Clover Leaf” Closure Reactors provide maximum ease for quick opening or closing of the cover. The cover is simply … [Read more...] about Quick closing system
Recycling – CO2 Condenser
Recycling – CO2 Condenser The condenser is essential in CO2 recirculation. The condenser is a piece of apparatus or equipment that can be used to condense, that is, to change the physical state of a substance from its gaseous to its liquid state. We use double pipe configuration in small systems … [Read more...] about Recycling – CO2 Condenser
Coriolis flow meter
Coriolis flow meter The Corilolis flow meter is basically a mass flow meter. It gives you exactly the mass of CO2 is delivered by the membrane pump, with at least three advantages if compared to traditional meters:It has no moving parts. It works at full pressure at the outlet of the pump … [Read more...] about Coriolis flow meter
CO2 Level – Find the equilibrium points
CO2 Level – Find the equilibrium points We say that a liquid is in equilibrium with its gas when the same mass is exchanged from the gas to liquid and from liquid to gas. This happens continuously, and this point id strongly dependent on pressure and temperature. The change in temperature … [Read more...] about CO2 Level – Find the equilibrium points
Gravimetric Separator
Gravimetric Separator This is the first Separator (S1). It applies the gravimetric effect to separate the extract in fractions. This separator is heated at set-point temperature. When the mixture of CO2 and chemical compounds extracted are directed in this separation, the solvent’s temperature … [Read more...] about Gravimetric Separator
What is a Cyclonic Separator?
What is a Cyclonic Separator? This kind of separator is different compared to the gravimetric separator, while S1 works by gravity force, S2 works by centrifugal force. The fluid moves very quickly creating a vortex inside the vessel. The fluid continues to spin and the particles of extract … [Read more...] about What is a Cyclonic Separator?
What is a Membrane Pump?
What is a Membrane Pump? Separeco doesn’t use piston pumps or compressors in its systems, but diaphragm metering pumps only.Although the cost is higher if this kind of pump is compared to a simple gas booster or piston pump, the advanteges are really considerabile.In fact, diaphragm metering … [Read more...] about What is a Membrane Pump?
ASME – American Society of Mechanical Engineers
ASME – American Society of Mechanical Engineers We use ASME VIII div 1 design code for all our pressure equipments. ASME is one of the oldest standards-developing organizations in America. It produces approximately 600 codes and standards covering many technical areas, such as fasteners, … [Read more...] about ASME – American Society of Mechanical Engineers
PED – Pressure Equipment Directive
PED – Pressure Equipment Directive (2014/68/EU) applies to the design, manufacture and conformity assessment of stationary pressure equipment with a maximum allowable pressure greater than 0,5 bar. The directive entered into force on 20 July 2016.The Pressure Equipment Directive aims to … [Read more...] about PED – Pressure Equipment Directive
Safety PLC in CO2 Extraction Machines
Safety PLC in CO2 Extraction Machines We use ABB B&R safety PLCs in our systems. Safety is our mission.It’s essential to protect people, machines and our future. To check the critical points of the system, we need a “certified safe” electronic circuit, which cannot fail when a potentially … [Read more...] about Safety PLC in CO2 Extraction Machines
