  • Which oilseeds are solvent-extracted?
  • The second most prevalent solvent-extracted oilseed is rapeseed and/or the varieties called Canola . Sunflower is also quite high in volume. A much lower volume or secondary use for soybean oil and rapeseed oil, gaining popularity in recent years, is as a feedstock for biodiesel fuels for diesel engines.
  • How hot should a solvent extraction bed be?
  • Any such boiling in the bed will reduce drainage of solvent and hinder extraction. Therefore, the practical result is that the extraction bed will have a maximum efficient temperature of about 140-150°F (60-66°C) and it will resist going to higher temperatures by boiling off a lot of vapor.
  • What temperature should an azeotrope extractor be operated at?
  • It is difficult to operate above the azeotrope. But it is very desirable to operate close to 142-145°F (61-63°C) at all points in the extractor. Operating at the hottest reasonable temperature makes the solvent and oil as low viscosity as possible and promotes rapid dissolving, mixing and flow.
  • Who performed a 750 ton a day soybean extraction test?
  • Joe Givens, Robert Jordheim and George Anderson, tests performed at a 750 ton per day soybean extraction plant in Dawson, Minnesota, March 10, 1977.
