2> Wet Meal Desolventizing Process
Passivate and damage the anti-nutritional components such as the urea enzyme and trypsin in the meal, and improve meal value in use.
Control the protein denaturation degree in the meal, and improve the NSI index effectively.
It can better regulate the color, flavor and taste of the meal.
It can better reduce residual solvent in the meal and regulate the meal moisture, so as to guarantee the minimum solvent consumption and safe use of the meal.
3> Negative pressure evaporation process
The liquid from the extractor is the miscella containing grease and oil, which can be separated out according their different vaporization temperatures. Our company mainly uses vacuum evaporation technology, and it can reduce solvent leakage and consumption. The separated solvent vapour is cooled and recycled back to the extractor for reuse, which can improve the solvent efficiency.
Negative Pressure Evaporation Advantages:
Vacuum evaporation features high efficiency, thorough de-solvation and low solvent consumption in crude oil.
Use the second steam of desolventizer toaster and remaining steam from steam jet pump as the heat source of the first steam, which can save energy, reduce the condenser configuration area and save investment.
Due to the low temperature of the steam, the crude oil features light color, good quality and low residual solvent.
4> Solvent condensation & recovery process:
Solvent condensation system combines with evaporation system closely, and evaporative condenser and steam stripping condenser all work under negative pressure. Non-condensable gas enters the energy saver from the shell of the first evaporator. In energy saver, non-condensable gas exchanges heat with condensate from the evaporative condenser. Finally, the condensate temperature discharged from energy saver is increased, and the solvent separated from water goes to solvent holding tank. The high temperature makes it unnecessary to be reheated for the recycling, so as to save energy.
Non-condensable gas from energy saver enters desolventizing condenser, in which a great deal of gas is condensed, and the tail gas is dischargd into the final condenser. The solvent gas from the extractor enters extraction condenser, and the non-condensable tail gas enters the final condenser. For the free gas in final condenser, diversion box, holding tank, underground solvent library and miscella tank, cool them with low-temperature cold water to recycle most of solvent gas. The tail gas with little solvent goes to paraffin recovery process.
5> Paraffin oil recovery process:
Tail gas first enters paraffin absorption tower, and then comes the counter-current absorption of paraffin and tail gas, which can reach the ideal state when the stainless steel packing has large surface area. The solvent content in discharged liquid paraffin (called rich oil) is not more than 5%, so as to ensure the maximum absorption rate The paraffin rich oil is pumped into the heat exchanger to exchange heat with paraffin lean oil, and then goes to paraffin heater, and finally enters paraffin analysis tower. In the analysis tower, the steam-liquid heat exchange is conducted on the surface of stainless steel packing surface with direct steam and rich-oil paraffin, which can remove the solvent in the paraffin. This kind of paraffin which is also called lean oil, exchanges heat with rich oil, then is cooled to the ideal absorption temperature through the cooler. After that it enters absorption tower for recycling. The gas mixture from the analysis tower enters energy saver, and the tail gas from the absorption tower is discharged from workshop with the fan. In solvent recovery system, the solvent enters the holding tank through water tank, and the condensed iste water is discharged from water tank. If the tail gas contains certain solvent, cook it with the cooker to make it meet the emission requirements.3. Soybean Oil Refining Production Line Introduction

A. Main Processes Introduction 1. Hydration Degumming & Alkali Refining Deacidification Process
Neutralization: The crude oil is output by the oil feed pump from the oil tank, and enters the crude oil heat exchanger to recover part of heat after metering and then is heated to the required temperature by the heater. After that, the oil is mixed with the metered phosphoric acid or citric acid from phosphate tank in the gas mixture (M401), and enters the conditioning tank (R401) to change the non-hydratable phospholipids in oil into the hydratable phospholipids. Add the alkali for neutralization, and the alkali quantity and alkali solution concentration depend on the quality of the crude oil. Through the heater, the neutralized oil is heated to the temperature (90℃) suitable for centrifugal separation to remove the phospholipids, FFA and other impurities in the crude oil. Then the oil goes to the washing process. Washing: About 500ppm soap is still in the neutralized oil from the separator. To remove the remained soap, add about 5~8% hot water into the oil, with water temperature 3~5 ℃ higher than the oil generally. To achieve more stable washing effect, add phosphoric acid or citric acid when washing. The re-mixed oil and water in the mixer is heated to 90-95℃ by the heater, and then enters the wash separator to separate the remaining soap and most water. The water with soap and oil enters into oil separator to separate out oil in the water. Further catch the oil outside, and the waste water is discharged to the sewage treatment station. Vacuum drying stage: There is still moisture in the oil from the wash separator, and the moisture will affect the stability of the oil. So the oil at 90℃ should be sent to vacuum drier to remove the moisture,then the dehydrated oil goes to the decoloring process. Finally, pump out the dry oil by canned pump.
2. Continuous Refining Decoloring Process
The main function of decoloring process is to remove oil pigment, residual soap grain and metal ions. Under negative pressure, the mechanical mixing method combined with steam mixing will improve the decoloring effect. The degummed oil firstly enters into the heater to be heated to the appropriate temperature (110℃), then goes to the bleaching earth mixing tank. The bleaching earth is delivered from the low bleaching box to the temporary tank by wind. The bleaching earth is added by automatic metering and is interlockingly controlled with the oil. The oil mixed with the bleaching earth overflows into the continuous decolorizer, which is stirred by non-powered steam. The decolored oil enters into the two alternate leaf filters to be filtered. Then the filtered oil enters the decolored oil storage tank through the security filter. The decolored oil storage tank is designed as the vacuum tank with the nozzle inside, so as to prevent the decolored oil contacting with the air and influencing its peroxide value and color reversion.
Continuous Decoloring Process Features:
1. The oil fully contacting with the decolorant can improve the decolorization efficiency and reduce the usage of decolorant;
2. The continuous and uniform material flows will balance the decoloring time and avoid the recovery of grease oxidation and acid value.
3. The special mixing structure of decoloring tower won't cause the material dead area, which can avoid the adsorbent sedimentation and pipe blockage.
4. The continuous airtight efficient filtration equipment has realized the automation of cake discharge and reduced the labor intensity.
5. The advanced drying technology can reduce the oil content in filter cake.
3. Continuous Refining Deodorizing Process
The qualified decolored oil enters into the spiral plate heat exchanger to recover most of the heat, and next goes to high pressure steam heat exchanger to be heated to the process temperature (240-260℃) and then enters the deodorization tower. The upper layer of combined deodorization tower is the packing structure which is mainly used to remove the odor producing components such as free fatty acid (FFA); the bottom layer is the plate tower which is mainly for achieving the hot decoloring effect and reducing the peroxide value of the oil to zero. Oil from the deodorization tower enters into the heat exchanger to recover most of the heat and makes further heat exchange with crude oil, and then is cooled to 80-85℃ through the cooler. Add the required antioxidant and flavor agent, and then cool the oil below 50℃ and store it. Such volatiles as FFA from the deodorizing system are separated by the packing catcher, and the separated liquid is FFA at low temperature (60-75℃). When the liquid level in the temporary tank is too high, the oil will be sent to the FFA storage tank.
