Example in High Protein Soy Flours:

This is a special application that controls the losses of parameters of productive interest that are carried over in the residues of a specific production. As a special case to understand the objective, we can mention the production of High Protein Soy Flours:

• The other important product obtained in this process is crude oil.
• This is achieved by extracting the maximum fat from the soybeans (industrially with solvent dragging).
• Then the oil obtained goes through a “degumming” process. This is done with the addition of water which washes away the soluble phospholipids in it.
• This “gum” that is formed is separated by centrifugation.
• If the centrifuge is NOT properly regulated, some oil could be extracted from the rubber
• The analysis of the oil level in the extraction gums is a parameter that allows to have a quick and specific idea of how the centrifuges are working.
• Keep in mind that the historical value of soybean oil is about U$S 900 per ton, therefore, no plant wants to lose it in the waste.
