Research and development opportunities in supercritical fluid technology: Final report
On December 2, 1988, the US Department of Energy (DOE) held a workshop on supercritical fluid technology. The purpose of this workshop was to elicit research ideas from participants representing government, industry, and academia. A special concern was to determine the appropriate level of involvement for DOE and other organizations in order to develop commercial supercritical fluid technology. Group presentations and a general discussion were held to summarize the results. Comments on the general roles of DOE and industry in supercritical fluid R D included: some industries (e.g., food processing) are already researching this technology; DOE should cooperate with industry in attempting to demonstrate this technology; and direct support of private-sector projects by DOE should be encouraged. It was also noted that productivity benefits may outweigh energy conservation benefits in some application areas. 1 fig., 5 tabs.
