Can two-stage extruding-expelling process improve soybean oil yield?

To examine the viability of this improved two-stage extruding-expelling process, techno-economic analysis was performed by using SuperPro Designer for simulation of the soybean extruding-expelling process. Soybean oil yield increases to over 70% compared to the conventional single-step expelling process with 60%.

How profitable is soybean oil extraction process?

Data Inputs In the profitability analysis of the soybean oil extraction process, the total capital investments of extruding-expelling process, hexane extraction, and EAEP are 26.6, 41.0, and 7.6 million dollars (2015 price) based on 30.8, 22.4, and 0.1 million kg of annual soybean oil production respectively.

Which scale of soybean oil production is accepted for industrial operation?

The scale of 51 million kg of annual soybean oil production is accepted for industrial operation. Both authors wrote and edited the paper. Ming-Hsun Cheng was responsible for conducting the analyses and developed the graphs and tables. The authors declare no conflict of interest.

Which soybean oil production capacity is profitable?

When the higher interest, 10%, is considered, the positive NPVs are observed at the scales of 173.22 and 415.73 million kg of annual soybean oil productions which are $49,324 and $255,900 respectively. Therefore, capacities larger than 86 million kg of annual soybean oil production are profitable. 3.3. EAEP
