Solvent Extraction - procedures and steps involved in the process

What is Solvent Extraction?

Solvent Extraction, as the name suggests is a process to extract oil from oil bearing materials by means of a solvent. Generally, Hexane (a petroleum by-product) is used as the solvent.

What are Solvent Extraction Plants?

Solvent Extraction Plants are used to extract oil by using chemicals. These plants use cake as the raw material, which is obtained from the oil press section. An organic solvent is used to dissolve the cake's or seed's oil content after the process of dipping or spraying, which ensures that the oil content is in close contact with the feeding material. After this, the solvent is vaporized out and the oil is collected. In these plants, the vaporized solvent is recycled.

There are many
Solvent Extraction Plants manufacturers, who use the quality assured materials and latest technology in the fabrication process. Generally, these plants are designed especially for extracting oil directly from oilseeds that contain less than 20% oil such as Soybean after the process of flaking. Pre-pressed or fully pressed seed cake that contain over 20% oil such as cotton seed, palm kernel, sunflower, copra, Castor, peanuts, and others.

Most of the edible oil manufacturers now-a-days use the horizontal extractors that operate on the principle of counter current, moving bed. It has varying height of bed and varying speed mechanism that allows absolute extraction by perfect penetration & percolation of the solvent.

Procedures followed in the solvent extraction process:

Dip oil-rich flake or pre-pressed cake into solvent
Dissolve vegetable oil into chemical solvent
Filter solid material
Evaporate oil mixed solvent to separate oil and solvent
Cool and recycle solvent
Further process oil and cake.

The best attribute of the solvent extraction plant is that it offers simple change-over of the process materials. These plants also find usage in the extraction of various useful solvents in assorted industries.

Salient features of the standard solvent extraction plants:

Available in solid - liquid and liquid - liquid extraction systems
Uses various solvents polar or non polar or a combination of both
Versatility to process all types of seeds, bran or oil cakes

It has been said that the difference between coffee and used crank case oil is... crank case oil burns oil filtration system

  17. It has been said by many people (with good intentions) that "Oil doesn't break down, it just gets dirty". Well, that statement is really only half true, and I'd like to set the record straight by explaining just how motor oil DOES break down and how it can be avoided or minimized. Matthew Fleeger

  18. In the 1970's we experienced the gas crisis created by the "Arab Embargo", today's increasing price has a much different cause and consumer response. The gas companies are beginning to address our reaction to the high gas prices. Gas companies want you to buy their brand not just any brand to save pennies. Increased advertising and reward certificate programs are designed to recreate brand loyalty. Buy the same brand of gas, mail in receipts as directed, and you can get pre-paid gas cards in the mail, as a reward for your loyalty.
