WORKING CONDITIONS IN COTTONSEED OIL MILLS
Keywords:
cottonseed oil, extraction, separation, extracted oils.Abstract
Assessment of potential hazards associated with vegetable oil storage facilities and processing plants. The main critical conditions in these plants are related to the presence of residual volatile flammable solvents resulting from extraction processes. However, the presence of volatile substances in the feedstock of the processing process can cause operational problems in areas operating at high temperatures and low pressures.
