Y&P Engineers provides solvent extraction plant consultancy, process engineering, plant design, equipment evaluation, EPC, PMC and project execution support for vegetable oil extraction and related processing facilities.
Solvent Extraction Plant Consultancy
Y&P Engineers provides engineering and consulting support for solvent extraction projects involving oil-bearing seeds, oil cakes, pre-processed feedstocks and related vegetable oil processing streams.
Our services can support new plant development, plant expansion, process modifications, equipment evaluation, troubleshooting and integration with downstream oil refining facilities.
Our Solvent Extraction Engineering Services
Process Engineering
Process flow development, material balance, process calculations and engineering support for solvent extraction plants.
Feed Preparation
Engineering support for preparation, conditioning and handling of suitable oil-bearing feedstocks before extraction.
Solvent Extraction
Process engineering support for extraction systems, solvent circulation, miscella handling and oil recovery.
Desolventizing & Solvent Recovery
Engineering considerations for solvent removal, recovery, condensation and integration with the overall process.
Oil & Meal Processing
Support for integration of extracted oil recovery with meal handling and downstream processing systems.
EPC & PMC Support
Engineering, procurement and project management assistance for new solvent extraction projects and plant upgrades.
Solvent Extraction Process Engineering
Solvent extraction systems are designed to recover oil from suitable oil-bearing materials using a solvent under controlled process conditions. Process performance depends on feed preparation, extraction efficiency, solvent management, temperature, residence time and separation requirements.
Y&P Engineers can assist with process integration and engineering requirements for extraction, miscella processing, solvent recovery, meal desolventizing and oil handling systems.
Feedstock & Process Evaluation
Feedstock characteristics such as oil content, moisture, particle size, preparation quality and composition influence extraction performance and overall plant efficiency.
Evaluation of representative feedstock is therefore important when developing process requirements, selecting equipment and estimating expected recovery.
