DASFAF - Fluidos Supercriticos. Supercritical Fluids

The DASFAF Network (Developments and Applications in Supercritical Fluids in Agriculture and Fisheries) is a project funding by the European Community specific programme for research technological development and demonstration in the field of Agriculture and Fisheries, where 26 organisations (Universities, Research Centres and SME) participated, and AINIA co-ordinated.
The DASFAF Network will enhance current knowledge of Supercritical Fluids (SF) in the food sector and related industries. The main objectives of this network are:

To promote SF technology in universities, research centres and enterprises working in this sector.
To evaluate immediate and future applications, and to transfer knowledge to small and medium size companies.
To set-up long-term projects.

The co-ordinated action proposed in the network is divided in four areas:

Basic principles of SF.
Extractive applications of SF.
Non extractive applications of SF.
Industrial aspects.
