How is soybean oil transported?

Storage tanks of soybean oil at extraction plants, or terminals, are cylindrical and of mild steel construction. This chapter further discusses the overland transport and water transportation of soybean oil. A major concern in handling and transporting vegetable oils is to avoid contamination.

What are the by-products of refining soybean oil?

Refining of soybean oil, to make a neutral, bland-flavored, and light-colored oil, results in several by-products. The by-products consist of various mixtures of phosphatides, unsaponifiables, glycerides, free fatty acids, and soap. Lecithin contains mostly hydratable phosphatides, together with some free fatty acids and neutral oil (glycerides).

What is soybean oil processing?

Soybean oil processing involves thehandling and use of processing reagents and aids that generate dust. Each dusty operation must be managed to minimize the quantity of dust that occurs and to provide appropriate dust control facilities necessary to meet air emission regulations consistently ( 11 ).

How does a soybean plant use natural gas & process steam?

Natural gas and process steam are used to provide heat for drying. The model used in this analysis allows the plant to generate its own steam from natural gas with a boiler efficiency of 80 percent. Soybeans entering the process are first cleaned and then heated and dried to obtain a 10-percent moisture content (Erickson, 1995).
