Turnkey projects are comprehensive, end-to-end solutions where a single contractor manages the entire process from design to commissioning. These projects are particularly beneficial in industries such as oil and food processing. For instance, in the realm of oil mills, turnkey solutions encompass the establishment of solvent extraction plants, edible oil refineries, and lecithin processing mills, ensuring seamless integration and functionality. Similarly, for the production of soy-based products, turnkey projects can include the setup of soya nugget plants, organic soya meal plants, and soya protein concentrate facilities.
Turnkey project delivers end-to-end solutions tailored to meet specific industrial needs, ensuring efficiency and high-quality output.
Solvent Extraction Plant sub divided in to following sections
Solvent extraction refers to preferential dissolution of oil by contacting oilseeds with a liquid solvent. This is the most efficient technique to recover oil from oilseeds. The efficiency depends on the oilseed preparation prior to extraction, temperature, mode of operation (batch vs. continuous and co-current vs. counter current operations) and equipment design. It is expected that residual oil in the meal to be less than 1 percent after commercial solvent extraction.
The choice of solvent type is based on solubility of oil in the selected solvent, cost and safety. hexane (boiling point 146-156°F), heptanes (boiling point 194-210°F) and octane (boiling point 215-264°C) can be used for oil extraction. Currently hexane is widely used for commodity vegetable oil extraction.
