Solvent Extraction Plant Design

KMEC’s solvent extraction plant design is simple, robust, operator friendly flexible for easy change over of the process material and with inbuilt safety features. KMEC's solvent extraction plant has been operating since 1990.

Features of Solvent Extraction Plant Design

1. Circulation system is developed to have better solvent meal contact to have optimum recovery of oil.
2. Better draining time is provided to reduce solvent contains in the extracted meal which will reduce the load on the D.T.
3. Special rinsing and back washing system to keep the band conveyor clean which will provide better percolation and avoid flooding i.e. better extraction.
4. Special fines separation system is provided to reduce fines in the final miscella which ultimately help to reduce load on the distillation system and will give solvent free oil with minimum fines and sludge.
5. This also help to avoid scale formation in the distillation system and help to minimize over heating of the oil and reduce utility consumption.
6.  Specially designed condensation and recovery system help in maximum heat utilization and reduce load on condensation, which ultimately reduce solvent loss.
7. New vent vapour recovery system help in better recovery of solvent from vent vapours.
8. Provision of special cooling system to help to produce final oil at 10-15°C above the ambient temperature, which will prevent oxidation and colour fixation of the oil.
