Consultants: Tropical Environmental Management Experts 17 Alliance Ginneries Limited Company 3.5 Crude Oil Manufacturing Project TORs-2020 Production Process/Flow 3.5.1 Soybean Refinery /Pre – Cleaning Objectives and Process Soya bean refinery is mainly aimed at extracting seed oil and concentrating the contents of protein. Owing to the morphology of the seed structure, removal of the soybean hull is a necessity for most processes. Notwithstanding this, oil extraction is the first step of soybean applications. Oil is as a microscopic content, reserved in spherosomes (oleosomes), which have a structure comprising of a triglycerol matrix core enclosed by a monolayer of phospholipids, and are embedded with oleosin-protein (See illustration in Fig. 3). A study by Huang, 1994, Huang, 1996, Kapchie et al., 2008 reveals that these three components are weight- wise proportionately about 94%, 2% and 4% by respectively. Pressure, heat, organic solvents, and enzymes are in most cases used for extracting oil from oil bodies, Using a Bucket Elevator, the soya bean seed coming from unloading section is conveyed to a Rotary Screen Cleaner. Here in the Rotary Screen Cleaner, dust particles are removed and dust is collected through Cyclone airlock valve. The clean soya bean seed is then conveyed to the storage Silo’s Feeding elevator. 3.5.2 • Preparatory Process The seed from the Silo is conveyed using a Conveyor Belt and Bucket Elevator to the Destoner where the stones or heavy impurity particles are extracted allowing only separated Soya bean seeds to go to a Magnetic Separator where metallic particles in particular Iron from grinding steel are removed from the seed. • The Soya bean seed is thereafter channeled into the Intermediate Balance Silo. From the Silo/s the seed is continuously poured into Crackers where it will be broken in four – six parts and then it goes to Dehuller. It is in the Dehuller where the outer shell of soya bean seed is removed. Consultants: Tropical Environmental Management Experts 18 Alliance Ginneries Limited Company • Crude Oil Manufacturing Project TORs-2020 Then seeds are transported into the Cooker through the Bucket Elevator or Bulk Flow Conveyor, where the cracked seed is cooked at a temperature range of 75 – 90 C by providing continuously flowing water steam. • The cooked seed goes to the Flacker, through the Conveyor where the flakes are dried and cooled in continuous flow. 3.5.3 Main/Solvent Extraction The prepared material is received in a receptacle Extraction Chamber) in the extraction plant which is made up of a number of solvent sprayers that are used to spray the solvent over the entire bed. The length and breadth of the bed is designed in such a way that there is enough time for ideal contact penetration of solvent into the material. Solubility Hexane Extraction Solubility hexane extraction of oil and a nonpolar organic solvent are used in Solvent extraction to extract oil from soybean flakes. In comparison with the mechanical expelling process, solvent extraction method can remove approximately 0.5% of residual oil using less energy and involves minimal maintenance of equipment (Anderson, 2011). It is important to note that Woerfel, 1995 observes that the development and application of solvent extraction in soya bean production has expanded alongside the early growth of U.S economy since the 1940s owing to its considerably higher oil recovery and energy efficiency. As noted by Anderson, 2011, in oil extraction, hexane is the most used solvent. Consequently, the mixtures of isomers with similar properties are also referred to as extraction hexane or commercial hexane. NFPA-36 standard, 2009 as presented in Table 6 reveals that in contrast with n-hexane, extraction hexane has similar molecular weight and specific gravity, higher ignition and flash temperature, lower melting point and boiling point; properties which increase the operating safety. In addition, arising from the presence of various isomers, the extraction hexane has a relatively i.e. slightly greater extraction efficiency than n-hexane. Consultants: Tropical Environmental Management Experts 19 Alliance Ginneries Limited Company 3.5.4 Crude Oil Manufacturing Project TORs-2020 Solvent Extraction The Solvent Extraction process includes bean cleaning, drying, cracking, dehulling, flaking, solvent extraction, and meal handling as illustrated in Fig. 9. Cleaning rids of foreign matter and serves as a measure for protecting equipment and high-quality production results. Drying of Soya beans follows cleaning. Drying leaves 10% of the bean’s moisture for dehulling. Cracking is the next step which comes before dehulling. Dehulling is the next step which is achieved using an aspirator. Figure 9: Soybean hulls Soya bean hulls are a by-product of the extraction of oil from soya bean seeds after it has entered the oil mill, where soya beans are screened to rid it of broken and damaged beans as well as foreign material. The beans are then cracked as presented above, and their hulls, which mainly consist of the outer coats, are removed (see figure above). Hulls are fibrous materials which are not suitable for human consumption, but are very valuable for ruminants. Soya bean hulls are usually reintroduced in the final oil meal production for purposes of reducing its protein Consultants: Tropical Environmental Management Experts 20 Alliance Ginneries Limited Company Crude Oil Manufacturing Project TORs-2020 Soya Oil Extraction Plant Modern Millers EIA Report-2020 content and resulting in soya bean meal types which have a maximum protein plus fat guarantee of 44 to 48%. Nevertheless, this end use decreases when the demand for high protein soya bean meal increases. Soya bean hulls are thus considered available and very valuable feeds for on-farm feeding of cattle. The physical characteristic of soya bean hulls is that they are light, flaky and bulky. Their handling requires special consideration such that closed feeders are a must when soya bean hulls are fed outside, due to the fact that the hulls are easily blown away by wind. In the same way closed and covered trailers are also required during transportation. Usually, pelleting of hulls is a strategy used in reducing bulkiness and reducing transportation costs, even though many manufacturers prefer unpelleted hulls for preparation of compound feed. Conditioning is process that is conducted after dehulling using the conditioner. It is here in conditioner where the cracked beans are subjected to about 71°C of heat. Here the moisture content is adjusted to around 11% by steam or a water spray thereby making the beans plastic and therefore ready for flaking. NB: Moisture content plays an important role in determining the efficiency of hull removal in both the cracking and dehulling processes. The drier the beans (<10% moisture), the easier they are to pulverize in the cracker and resulting excessive fines. It therefore follows that if the beans are too moist (>10% moist) the hulls are hard to remove. Flaking is fundamentally employed to increase soya bean flakes surface area in order to yield higher oil recovery. A flaking mill is made up of a pair of smooth-surface rolls propelled at different speeds. The most appropriate flake thickness traditionally ranges from 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm. The processes presented above are preparatory steps for the extraction process that has been outlined below which has been derived from Woerfel, (1995). An immersion type extractor was first developed, and the ratios of solvent to beans are 5~10:1 typically during extraction. The large amounts of solvent result in higher material costs and associated with safety issues. There are also percolation extractors which minimize the ratio of hexane amounts Consultants: Tropical Environmental Management Experts 21 Alliance Ginneries Limited Company Crude Oil Manufacturing Project TORs-2020 to beans in extraction to approximately 1:1. In addition, the percolation extractors increase the efficiency of oil extraction. Percolation involves passing a solvent down through the porous bed of oil-bearing material where the oil is then dissolved in the solvent and carried always (Woerfel, 1995, Pramparo et al., 2002). In general, continuous loop extractors (Crown Iron Works, 2016), belt extractors (Extraction de Smet, 2016), and rotary Rotocel reactors are the three main types of percolation extractors, which are used in big industry continuous processing operations. Solvent recycling is an appropriate measure for ensuring oil is safe after extraction. The recycled solvent is reused for further extraction processes. Hexane is used to remove steam and vacuums at temperature influenced by the flash point of crude oil. This is when the flame briefly appears over the crude oil. Generally, the temperature is predetermined at 121oC for refined soya bean oil corresponding to the 1000 ppm hexane in the oil (Anonymous, 1993, Proctor, 1997). Degumming (Dijkstra, 2011) produces degummed crude oil, which is sold as a commodity. Hexane Vaporization is the removal of the remaining hexane during soya bean meal handling using a toaster. Steam is also used to evaporate hexane and to heat the protein to 100-105oC. This enhances the nutritional value by inactivating trypsin inhibitors and other toxicants. After the toasting, the hot air dries the meal reducing its moisture to about 10%. The defatted meal is ground and screened to a desired particle size for further processes (Hettiarachcy & Kalapathy, 1997).
