Subcritical Solvent extraction features:
● Normal temperature extraction, low temperature desolventization
● No destroy of active substance and plant protein of oil materials in oil extraction
● Applicable for precious oil and vegetal protein extraction
● Low vapor consumption, reduces 80% coal consumption in oil processing
● Low cost, big scale, and low environmental protection
Subcritical solvent extraction principle:
4# solvent is purified from liquefied petroleum gas, consisting of propane, butane, boiling point is below 0 ℃. Extraction is processing under pressure (0.1-0.7Mpa liquid state) and room temperature to realize normal temperature oil extraction. Solvent in extracted meal and crude oil is removed at low temperature and vacuum. Solvent is cycled use after liquefaction.
Process flow introduction of subcritical solvent extraction:
● Oil materials enters into extraction tank
● solvent pump injects 4# solvent into oil extraction tank for oil material immersion
● solvent pump pumps mixed oil to evaporative tank
● connect extraction tank and suction port of compressor in order to gasify solvent residual in meal, enters into compressor. Solvent flows into solvent turnover tank after compressing, condensing and liquefy in condenser for reuse. Meal discharges from extraction system.
● mix oil enters into evaporation system in order to separate crude oil and evaporate 4# solvent. Evaporated solvent is reused after compressing and liquefy, and crude oil discharges from extraction system.

4# solvent has low boiling point, pure ingredients, low residual solvent after extraction, low extraction temperature, good selection, less pigment, phospholipids and other impurities.
Economical and social benefit analysis
Subcritical 4# solvent extraction technology is an innovative oil extraction method, with huge economic and far-reaching social significance. It cannot only greatly reduce the oil processing cost, but also create conditions for development and utilization of vegetable protein and precious oil extraction. It makes fundamental change in oil industry in environmental protection.
Advantages of subcritical solvent extraction:
● Realizing low temperature desolventizing of meal.
Current 6# solvent has higher boiling point of 60 ~ 90 ℃. Temperature increases above 100 ℃ during solvent removal in meal and oil, which results in a modification of vegetable protein meal. The introduced low desolventizing equipment is complex to operate and high solvent consumption, resulting in high cost and greatly hindering the development and utilization of plant protein resource.
4# solvent extraction process adopts simple method to realize low temperature desolventizing, avoids degeneration of plant protein, develops vast plant protein resources. High meal use value will also bring an objective economic benefit.
● Realizing pharmaceutical, chemical aspects of quality guarantee extraction
Low temperature (<40 ℃) processing flow has smaller impact of vitamins , biological active substances , pigments and the like thermosensitive material in meal and oil. It realizes quality guarantee extraction of precious oil such as microbial oil Arachidonic acid, Ganoderma spore oil, amaranth seeds, sea buckthorn, wheat germ, black currant seed and so on. Currently, the use of this technology into microbial oil extraction plant operated well , the indicators are in line with requirements.
● low dissolved consumption, less steam
4# solvent extraction, due to the design of the new " system of internal heat exchange process technology", is easy to evaporate the solvent , easy recovery, thus saving a lot of solvents and vapors.
General: solvent consumption £ 5kg / t, steam consumption £ 60kg / t. The VI solvent soluble solvent consumption flashed off about 35 ~ 45kg / t, steam consumption is about 300kg / t.
● Reduce environmental pollution
Since the process system uses less steam, while the reduction in the coal, the consumption of electricity and manpower boiler, reducing the emission of smoke from burning coal, waste, waste water, thus reducing environmental pollution.
