General aspects of plant technology using a carbon dioxide extract

This work belongs to a project developed in Bariloche's Regional Centre of Comahue's National University, Argentina, whose main scope was to fullfill the technology development started with the pilot plant operation built by the group. This plant operates by ussing carbon dioxide as extractant and data was collected for oil extraction of Rosa Mosqueta (Rosa Aff. Rubiginosa) seedes. As a result of that plant design, construction and operation the required information was obtained to scale- up to an industrial plant. The technologycal innovations derived from this project, as compared with others with the same scope, permit forecast excelent possibilities to transfer the process to production. General aspects of the process are presented in this instance to give a basis to publish in a near future details of the equipment designed.
