Solvent Extraction, as the name suggests is a process to extract the oil from oil-bearing materials by means of Solvent, Solvent used being normal Hexane – petroleum by-product. Yangjiang’s proven design is simple, robust, operator friendly flexible for easy change over of the process material and with inbuilt safety features.
Solvent Extraction plants have been operating for a long time. The extractor is horizontal in construction a concept with universal acceptance, in fact, most of the extraction plants working throughout the world have adopted the horizontal design of extractor. The extractor works on counter current, moving bed principal with variable bed height and variable speed mechanism permitting excellent penetration and percolation of solvent for absolute extraction. The low speed of the extractor conveyor ensures almost no maintenance. Distillation takes place under a vacuum and desolventizing of meal is done in a liberally designed desolventiser. For solvent recovery adequate capacity condensors and vent air, a stripping system is provided.
