  Carbon dioxide and water are the most commonly used supercritical fluids, being used for decaffeination. I don't think they are available commercially but you ask company who does it and you will get an answer.

  It depends on the operation you have in mind and which SCF. Continuous flow can be easily adopted with supercritical flow chromatography equipment. This is mainly carbon dioxide but can be adopted to al room temperature non-compressible liquids. Would you provide more detail what you have in mind? Batch/continuous, nature of SCF, extraction or reaction, catalysed etc.?

  I am still very new to organic synthesis work actually and very new to supercritical fluid technology so i am wondering is there any experts in this field who can give suggestion or advice what kind of reaction chamber i should use . whether the chamber with supercritical fluid media can allow use of catalyst as well. What i have in mind is converting the already established palm-based oleochemical synthesis route (previously using solvent) to supercritical fluid. Thanks to Dr. Lasse Grenier for his comments ,i find it helpful.

  I used to study enzyme reactions in supercritical fluoroform. http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/ja0169522　http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/b104913p　Fluoroform can solubilize many lipid such as triglycerides. However, I am not sure this solvent is commercially available recently.

  Flouroform is commercially available, alas not cheap. Also, many of the scF are greenhouse gases. CO2 is a notable exception. For batch application and lab trials commercially available reaction autoclaves (Parr, Büchi, Premex etc.) can be used. If you have no practical experience I strongly recommend to gain some practical experience somewhere. There are high pressures of compressible gases involved which may behave unexpected.
