Batch Solvent Extraction and Desolventising Unit

หมวดหมู่สินค้า: INDUSTRIAL FOOD TECHNOLOGY
รหัส : FT29
The Armfield FT29 is a floor standing, self contained 25 litre batch process unit demonstrating a variety of solid/liquid extractions. The unit is particularly suitable for “leaching” edible oils from oil-bearing seeds and desolventising both the extracted solids and the miscella.

SUMMARY

All vessels, pipes, valves and fittings in contact with process materials are constructed in stainless steel as is the support framework.

The cylindrical extractor/desolventiser with a hinged lid for charging the extraction material, has a base inclined slightly toward a port for discharging the extracted and desolventised meal. Material is supported above the base by a perforated plate covered with a fine-woven mesh so solvent may drain through to the miscella tank while retaining the solids. The vessel base is equipped with an indirect steam chest for process heating.

Direct steam is injected at a variable rate through a distribution pipe positioned above the mesh. A similar distribution pipe positioned near the top of the vessel enables solvent to be sprayed uniformly onto the bed of material. The miscella tank, positioned directly below the extractor to collect the draining liquid, is also a cylindrical vessel incorporating a steam chest as its base.

This vessel also incorporates a direct steam-distribution pipe through which steam can be metered at a variable rate.

Vapour from the vessels, produced in the desolventising process, is directed by ducting to the solvent condenser, which is an inclined shell and tube unit through which water is circulated. Condensate (usually a mixture of solvent and water) drains into the solvent water separator tank, which enables thorough separation of the solvent and water by a gravity process.

(Note: Only hexane or solvents having a similar specific gravity can be effectively separated in this tank).

Solvent reclaimed from this vessel can then be recirculated by the solvent pump at a regulated rate through a variable area flow meter.

Excess water overflows to a waste water tank from where it can be disposed of on completion of the process. Operation at reduced system pressures are achieved by a PTFE diaphragm type vacuum pump. The outlet of this pump is piped through a flame arrester to a suitable ventilation point. Each vessel is equipped with suitable level/sight glasses so that the processes can be observed and monitored. Pressure and temperature gauges are supplied where necessary as are adequate sampling and drain valves. Hexane is the most widely used solvent in the extraction process and due to the flammable nature of this product, electrical equipment has been kept to a minimum.

Where electrical equipment must be used, it is specified to the appropriate standards for safety. The main processing vessels have been designed in accordance with the appropriate code of practice for welded pressure vessels.
