Abstract:
An apparatus for supercritical processing of first and second workpieces comprising:a. a transfer module having an entrance; b. a first supercritical processing module coupled to the transfer module, the first supercritical processing module configured to perform supercritical processing on the first workpiece in a first workpiece cavity having a substantially constant first volume; c. a second supercritical processing module coupled to the transfer module, the second supercritical processing module configured to perform supercritical processing on the second workpiece in a second workpiece cavity having a substantially constant second volume; d. a first supercritical condition generator, coupled to the first workpiece cavity: e. a second supercritical condition generator, coupled to the second workpiece cavity; and f. a transfer mechanism coupled to the transfer module, the transfer mechanism configured to move the first workpiece between the entrance and the first supercritical processing module, the transfer mechanism configured to move the second workpiece between the entrance and the second supercritical processing module.
