  • oil extractor plant solvent extraction pot in kenya
  • Does oil decompose in a solvent extractor?
  • Oily materials with more than 30% oil by weight tend to decompose in the extractor after most of the oil has been extracted, resulting in poor final extraction and high solvent retention. Solvent extraction is most effective when the oily material contains about 20% of oil.
  • 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.
  • What solvents are used in oil extraction?
  • Various alcohols, isohexane, heptane, butane ¨C many other solvents have found applications in niche markets. For the standard oil removal plant, only isohexane ¨C an isomer with properties very close to hexane - has replaced hexane in a significant number of extraction plants.
  • 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.
