What are the environmental problems associated with soybean & soybean oil processing?

An inherent aspect of soybean and soybean oil processing is the normal production and discharge of several waste materials, which must be managed to preclude environmental pollution. There is potential for major environmental pollution problems as a result of human error or catastrophic failure.

Why is process improvement important in soybean extraction plants?

Process improvement in extraction plants has continued with increasing emphasis on energy efficiency, cost reduction, reducing hexane loss, quality of meal and oil, and increased capacity, driven by a six-fold increase in soybean production since 1950 and by an increase in energy costs since 1970.

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.

How is oil extracted from soybeans?

Solvent extraction using hexane is the primary method for recovery of oil from soybeans, although some mechanical extraction is still used.
