ABOUT US

Exenia lab® is a division of Separeco that deals with the development of processes that use supercritical CO2.
Our team of researchers has nearly 30 years of experience in this field. Together, we develop your extraction, fractionation, micronization and chromatography process, using liquid or supercritical CO2.

SUPERCRITICAL CO2
OUR SERVICES

From extraction to fractionation, through micronization and chromatography, we can develop all types of processes for any matrix, identifying the process conditions, the correct preparation of the matrix and the secondary activities to be carried out after the main process.
co2extraction-1
Extraction
We extract customer matrices with supercritical CO2 arefining the process method by providing all operating conditions and suggesting activities to be performed before and after supercritical extraction.
supercritical fractionation
Fractionation
When the matrices are liquid, supercritical CO2 fractionation is used. It is possible to fractionate the oily elements into different fractions, enriching the refining or eliminating unwanted elements.
micronization
Micronization
Micronization with CO2 can be performed by supercritical and near-supercritical processes to micronize oily feedstocks, with particles ranging from a few nanometers to tens of micrometers.
cromatography
chromatography
Supercritical preparative chromatography finally solves the problems associated with handling large volumes of organic solvent that have discouraged its use. It is efficient, fast and capable of high selectivity.

WHAT MAKES US SPECIAL

Thirty years of experience

We know how to maximize the efficiency of processes by optimizing performance.

we can help you

We will follow up with training and mentoring as long as necessary.

RAW MATERIAL TEST

We will test your raw materials to determine the best conditions and provide you with samples.

WHY CHOOSE US?

If you do not have sufficient experience in supercritical fluid extraction, it is difficult to fine-tune the process of extracting a matrix. You may be disappointed with the efficiency obtained, which is far from your expectations. We will help you to choose the right matrix characteristics, such as moisture content, particle size and pretreatment, and suggest process techniques such as correct basket filling, pressure and temperature definition and, very important, residence time, controlled by CO2 flow rate.
CONTINUOUS UPDATES
Innovation never stops. Every day we face new challenges, new problems that require constant updating.
NEW APPLICATIONS
Aerogel drying, solvent removal, plastics recycling, oil dust micronization, explosion-proof processes.
A GROUP OF EXPERTS
Addressing the challenges of developing innovative processes requires a team of experts in many scientific disciplines.
