Know how & Applications
EQUIPEMENTS DEDICATED TO NATURAL PRODUCTS TREATMENT
There is a wide range of possibilities for the high-pressure treatment of natural products. We can extract solids like plants for perfume industry (lavender, roses, jasmine…) and for food industry (vitamins, antioxidants, aromas…) as well as fractionation of liquid raw materials (unsaturated fatty acids separation) and elimination of dangerous materials like pesticides and allergens. According to clients request ER INGENIERIE is able to provide initial feasibility study or design and manufacture an equipment or do the complete process (from initial idea to the machine implementation).
- Laboratory studies (trials)
- High pressure extractions of plants
- High pressure extractions of see products (algae, fishes, krill)
- Pesticides elimination treatment
- Fungicides impregnation treatments
- Extraction of omegas 3, 6 and 9

DEDICATED EQUIPMENTS FOR PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY
The techniques of extraction, pulverization, micro-encapsulation by means of high pressure fluids lead to new possibilities for drug manufacturing (galenic).
Complementary to classical processes like coacervation, spray-drying, evaporation, fluidized bed, the processes based on supercritical fluids use permit to achieve better performances in terms of biodisponibility of the active product. Same remark for APIs encapsulation.
- APIs extraction from plants (carbon dioxide or water or…)
- Galenic – Slow release pharmaceutical forms
- Biodisponibility control
- cGMP equipments manufacturing
- Chemical reactions in supercritical media
- Viruses and bacteria inactivation
- Therapeutic cannabis (CBD)
- Phyto-ingredients
- Atomization with high pressure fluids
- Encapsulation
- Delipidation (vaccines)
