Hexane Detection in Oilseed Operations - Case Study
Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) is a proven technology for locating Hexane and other Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) leaks in oilseed operations. OGI inspections can improve plant safety during routine operations, and reduce revenue lost to downtime during major overhauls. ROI payback in less than one year has been reported by major oilseed crush operations. A new Hexane and VOC leak detection ...

Environmental effects on oleic acid in soybean seed oil of plant introductions with elevated oleic concentration
Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] oil with oleic acid (18:1) content >500 g kg–1 is desirable for a broader role in food and industrial uses. Seed oil in commercially grown soybean genotypes averages about 230 g kg–1 oleic acid. Some maturity group (MG) II to V plant introductions (PIs) have elevated oleic concentrations of 300 to 500 g kg–1. Temperature of the growing environment during the ...

Hexane Detection in Oil Seed Operation
A new Hexane and VOC leak detection technique using OGI is gaining favor among oilseed producers worldwide. This technique uses passive infrared imaging to make normally invisible gas plumes visible to the camera operator. The EyeCGas OGI camera has a minimum detectable leak rate for Hexane of approximately 0.3 grams/hour (1 gallon/year liquid Hexane). Hexane, a ...

Oil Removal in the Food and Beverage Industry [Infographic]
There is a universal problem facing the food and beverage industry: removing fat, oil and grease (FOG) from water. Without an effective oil removal solution, food and beverage companies can face increased costs for water treatment and discharge, maintenance concerns, and also miss out on the opportunity for a new revenue source. To identify a proper solution, you must first pinpoint the ...

The essential oils in agriculture as an alternative strategy to herbicides: a case study
In this study we investigated the allelopathic effect of some essential oils extracted from aromatic plants to inhibit weed seed germination. The study was performed to evaluate the potential genotoxic effect of lavender on Vicia faba root meristems by genotoxicity tests (comet assay and micronuclei test) and to evaluate microbial diversity fluctuation by Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism ...

How Palm Oil Is Extracted
The usual plant oil extraction and separation process (e.g. olive or palm oil, tea seed oil, etc.) involves the extraction of oil-bearing plant parts (seeds, fruits, skins) that are squeezed and milled. The vegetable oils contained therein are collected and purified by centrifugal separation technology. The palm oil production process is divided into three main parts: pressing, refining and ...

Palm Kernel Processing Plant
Palm kernel oil (PKO) is has very similar compositions and properties as coconut oil. It is a kind of co-product of palm oil production. With the fast growth of palm oil, palm kernel oil will replace coconut oil as the main resource of lauric acid. Palm Fruit Oil Vs Palm Kernel Oil The chemical properties and physical properties of these two oils are very different. They also have different ...
