Feasibility Study for a Castor oil Extraction Plant

  • How is sunflower oil produced?
  • Sunflower oil production has the following manufacturing processes: cleaning of the seeds, grinding of the seeds, pressing and extraction of crude oil from these seeds and then further refining the oil obtained before packaging. A volatile hydrocarbon like hexane is used as a solvent to extract the oil. CLEANING THE SEEDS:
  • How is sunflower crushed for oil recovery?
  • Sunflower is crushed for oil recovery via one of two process methods, hard pressing or prepress solvent extraction. Hard pressing relies upon exerting high pressure on the prepared seed to separate oil from the solids fraction, historically recovering about 25% oil from the seed.
  • What is solvent extraction of sunflower meal?
  • The process of solvent extraction for sunflower meal was first commercially available two decades ago. It was not until the advent of organic farming and on-farm oil production that it became more popular. Solvent extraction by extrusion reduces the fat content of the processed seeds.
  • Why is prepress solvent extraction better than sunflower meal?
  • Because sunflower oil has a substantially higher economic value than sunflower meal, process economics improve significantly as the oil recovery yield increases. Therefore, prepress solvent extraction, with the highest oil recovery yield, is the process method utilized today for the majority of the sunflower seed that is crushed globally.
