Extraction efficiency
Very good efficiency: >90.0%
Benchmark efficiency: >85.0%
Unacceptable: <70 0%Unacceptable: <70.0%
Extraction efficiency
E.E.=1-(Oil pomace*(100-Oil fruit))/(Oil fruit*(100-Oil pomace)
Or
< 8.0% oil/dry matter in the pomace
With 50% moisture fruit = 3.0% oil/fresh in pomace
With 60% moisture fruit = 2.0% oil/fresh in pomace

Efficiency of the Decanter
• Density difference between phases (Talc – Water - Crushing).• Speed of rotation.• Size of phases (Decanter plates).• Separation time (Pumping speed).

Pumping speed
• How do I know if I am pumping too fast?p p g
• Oil losses above limit.• Oil comes out dirty (Not always).
• How do I know if I am pumping to slow?
• No problems apart from increased costs.• Do not go under 40% NC of the Decanter.

Decanter plates
• How do I know when to change the plate?g p
• Once you have tried everything else and the oil still comes out very dirty and with very low Decanter capacity. Put an smaller plate.
• Or if there is too much oil in the decanter. Stop the feeding pump into decanter, flush it with water and the amount of oil that is obtained should not exceed
f f1.5 % of the TC of the decanter. E.g.: 5 tn/hr should not produce more than 50-75 litres. Put a larger plate.

Centrifugation
• Accurate selection of regulation ring.g g• Check oil aspect at all times (Clean milky aspect).• Check foam aspect at all times (White as soon as it is formed).• Do not over feed the separator.• Do not add more than 40% of water/oil.• Temperature of water between 35-38ºC. Never colder than the oil.• Constant flow of oil and water.• Regulate discharge times (1-2 hours).• Maintain clean all parts.

Settling
Settling
• Maintain oil in settling for 24-48 h.g• Drain settlings every two hours.• Remove foam every six hours.• Avoid contact with open air or light.• If we drain more than 1% settlings for total oil produced we have to check the separator.• Maintain temperature above 18ºC.• Check acidity and peroxides before sending to final tank.
