  • How is soybean oil extracted from soybean flakes?
  • Finally, mechanical rollers are used to make thin flakes and rupture the cells containing the soybean oil. The extraction process uses hexane or other solvents to wash the soybean oil from the prepared soybean flakes.
  • What is desolventized soybean oil?
  • For the soybean oil, a distillation system is used to recover the solvent. The desolventized flakes are now a product and ready for sale as a good source of protein. The soybean oil can be further refined from a crude product to an edible product. Extracted and desolventized soy oil must be further processed to make an edible product.
  • How is soybean oil extracted?
  • Soybeans are processed with the Model III Extractor. Once the oil has been removed by the solvent, the solvent must be removed from both the flakes and the soybean oil. For the flakes, heat and steam are used to strip and recover the residual solvent. For the soybean oil, a distillation system is used to recover the solvent.
  • Is Reg pushing the limits of soybean oil?
  • "The next thing, I guess, is pushing the limits of the soybean itself as far as oil content." REG is expanding production capacity at its renewable diesel plant in Geismar, Louisiana, from 90 million to 340 million gallons per year. It was the first renewable diesel plant in the U.S. and acquired by REG in 2014.
