Oil Solvent Extraction

Unlocking Maximum Oil Recovery with Advanced Solvent Technology

Oil solvent extraction is the most efficient method for separating oil from prepared oilseeds, ensuring higher yields and superior quality. By using advanced solvent technology, this process extracts the maximum amount of oil from flakes or expanded materials, leaving behind high-quality meal for feed and industrial applications. At Agroprocess Oil Tech Solutions, we provide cutting-edge solvent extraction plants and systems that prioritize efficiency, safety, and sustainability. Our solutions are engineered to deliver optimal oil recovery while reducing energy usage and environmental impact.

Key Stages in Oil Solvent Extraction

The solvent extraction process involves carefully designed steps to maximize oil recovery and ensure safe, efficient, and eco-friendly operations:

Extractor

Uses a continuous counter-current system where flakes or expanded materials are thoroughly washed with solvent (usually hexane). This ensures maximum oil is dissolved into the solvent.

Desolventizer-Toaster (DT)

Removes residual solvent from extracted meal through steam heating. This process improves meal quality, enhances protein value, and ensures safe handling.

Distillation System

Separates solvent from the miscella (oil + solvent mixture) using multiple-effect evaporators and a stripping column, yielding pure crude oil.

Solvent Recovery System

Captures and recycles solvent from vapors, meal, and oil streams. This reduces losses, lowers costs, and ensures environmental compliance.

Meal Cooling

Cools desolventized meal to safe storage temperature while maintaining nutritional value for feed applications.

Refined Oil Filtration

Removes fine particulates and impurities from crude oil before further refining or storage.

Vacuum Stripping Column

Strips residual solvent from the extracted oil under controlled vacuum for safety and purity.

Quality Control & Testing

Monitors oil and meal quality, ensuring compliance with food-grade and industrial extraction standards.
