Industrial Scale Application of Subcritical and Supercritical Fluids for Design of Products fills the gap between fundamentals and industrial implantation of various high-pressure process technologies. The book covers the design, start-up and maintenance of real industrial plants, also providing readers with insights on their construction and operational essentials. It is ideal for chemical engineers who operate high pressure units and different researchers who create supercritical fluid technology to solve problems surrounding product fractionation, product formulation, synthesis in SCF, and product development using supercritical fluids technologies.
There are some books that describe high pressure technologies and research in the area of sub- and supercritical fluids, but this book presents fundamental data on thermodynamics and mass transfer, topics that are absolutely essential for the design of industrial plants.
About the author
Prof Knez established the high-pressure laboratory (completely new discipline in Maribor) in year 1985 and today there are 25 reaserchers working on separation processes and product design. He has issued two patents on his name and a pilot plant was built in Technology park in year 1999 based on this patents. He is also the director of a company ("green field" investment) with 50 employees and produces cca. 300 t per year of concentrated nature antioxidative substances (export 99.99 %). He acts as a consultant of many industrial projects on high pressure plants. Prof Knez has published 235 scientific articles and review articles, 25 chapters in books and 20 patents.
