Why can't the solvent extraction plant be processed with flakes?

The Solvent Extraction plant can¡¯t be processed with flakes due to its high oil content. The Oil content are to handled with expander with squeezo matic arrangement. Where 20 % of the oil will be drained and collets containing 25% ¨C 28% oil will be transferred for extraction. The collets is with 35% more porosity than the flakes.

How much oil can be extracted from canola press cake?

The extraction of 46 tonnes of canola press cake (22.8% oil) at 340 kg/h in an industrial immersion extractor allowed a very good extraction performance (0.3% residual oil). The replacement of hexane by 2-MeOx does not require any significant plant changes.

What is solvent extraction process?

The solvent extraction process consists of five closely related subprocesses: solvent extraction, meal desolventisation, drying and cooling of the meal, distillation of the miscella and solvent recovery. Extraction is always used when a residual oil content of <2% is desired. Most vegetable oils are obtained by solvent extraction.

Is solvent extraction better than mechanical extraction?

The solvent extraction process has the advantage of a much higher oil yield (<1% residual oil in the meal) than mechanical extraction, as well as lower operating costs per unit. However, solvent extraction plants have high initial costs, not least because the entire plant must be explosion-proof.
