Learn how to Green Your Process

Environmental and health issues have increased interest in green chemistry and supercritical fluids. The banning of more and more halogenated and petroleum-based solvents has made supercritical carbon dioxide the leading alternative. Applied Separations can help you “green” your process and drastically reduce hazardous solvent with an environmentally friendly supercritical fluid (SCF) system.

Applied Separations will be at the ACS Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference at the Capitol Hilton in Washington, D.C. next week. Visit us and find out more about supercritical fluids.
