A hexane-free process for recovering edible oils
Article Abstract:
Westfalia Separator AG and Dr. Frische GmbH have developed a hexane-free procedure, that recovers as much as 99% of edible oil in natural products. Stefan Hruschka, a Westfalia process engineer, said the process refrains from use of hexane or similar solvents but the results can be compared with that using the usual solvent-extraction method. The quality of recovered oils obtained from the process is found to be same as cold-pressed oils. No less than one water-soluble solvent is added along with water, if it is so required, during the stage of raw-material milling and slurrying.

Tryout is set for an ash-recycling process
Article Abstract:
South Carolina Electric & Gas of Columbia, SC, is testing a new ash-recycling process called the Carbon Burn-Out (CBO) process to produce byproduct flyash with low unburned-carbon content by end of July 1998 in one of its power plant. The test will continuously monitor the ash produced into a combustion chamber and is flowed out over a weir. Temperature and oxygen will be maintained without blowing ash out of the bed. CBO was co-developed by Electric Power Research Inc. (EPRI) of Palo Alto, CA, and Progress Materials, Inc. of St. Petersburg, FL.
