Abstract
A control system for a process using supercritical fluid includes a reactor vessel including an agitator for mixing a batch of materials therein a source of supercritical fluid supplied to the reactor vessel, means for introducing into the reactor vessel batch material that is mixed in the presence of the supercritical fluid based on a selectable reaction process, process monitoring means for producing signals representative of the reaction in the reactor vessel; and control means for controlling the reaction in the reactor vessel based on said signals and the selected reaction process.
