Extraction
The waste water leaving the solvent extraction process typically goes to
Dimax the waste water sump, and then to a water treatment facility. In those
Desolventising oilseed processing plants with limited waste water treatment capacity,
Miscella and/ or limited fresh water availability for creating boiler steam, a waste
Distillation water steam generation system can be applied. The waste water steam
Solvent Recovery generation system evaporates the vast majority of the waste water from
the solvent extraction process into low pressure steam for re-use in meal
