Rice is a popular food item throughout the world. A by-product that comes out of rice cultivation is the rice bran oil, which is basically the oil extracted from the germ and the husk of rice kernels and is famous throughout the world, particularly in Asian countries. The characteristic features of rice bran oil are mainly the high smoke point of about 232-degree Celsius and the mild flavor imparted by it when used as a cooking oil, mainly in deep frying dishes. Therefore, investment on rice bran oil production would be a wise decision. But, how to start the rice bran oil production? Establishing a rice bran oil extraction plant helps quickly enter the rice bran oil industry. Here, we simply introduce the main ideas and overall cost about how to establish the rice bran oil extraction plant.
As for rice bran oil production, the first step to establish an efficient extraction project is to decide rice bran oil extraction technology and rice bran oil production process based on the planning capacity and investment budget. ABC Machinery patented Sub-critical Low Temperature Solvent Extraction Method is the latest advanced oil extraction technology that is extremely suitable for rice bran oil extraction. Different from traditional solvent extraction (hexane), it uses subcritical solvents, including butane, propane, and dimethyl ether, to separate oils from the rice bran. Why choose these solvents instead of hexane? Below research carried out by Henan University of Technology would tell the answer.
Comparison of the Active Ingredients within Rice Bran Oil by Hexane and Subcritical Solvents| Hexane | 45.6 | 1.58 | 1.78 |
| Butane | 75.6 | 1.78 | 2.08 |
| Propane | 81.5 | 1.61 | 1.95 |
Above research data have clearly proven the advantages to extract rice bran oil by subcritical solvents than traditional hexane.
In conclusion, compared with traditional hexane solvent extraction method, the subcritical low temperature solvent extraction technology is more suitable for rice bran oil production. So, how about the rice bran oil extraction process by subcritical low temperature extraction method.
The next step to set up rice bran oil extraction plant is to choose the plant site. For rice bran oil extraction plant, there are several selection principles that are worthy to note.Transportation Cost - the ideal rice bran oil extraction plant site should be selected at the center or near the plantation area of rice.Delivery Cost - the product depends on the distance between the site and the nearest main road.Water Supply - There should be plenty of water near the plant area.Geogracal Conditions - undulating, the area that requires excavation to fill the pile is not suitable for construction.Based on different environment, there may have different factors should be taken into consideration. If you are not sure whether the site your selected is suitable or not, you can just us for more professional advIces!
