When producing vegetable oils or fruit juices with 2-phase decanters, approx. 80-90% of the oil or juice can be extracted in high quality. To significantly reduce the loss, the processes involved in dehydrating the marc, the rheological behavior of the liquid and the powder flow of the pile will be investigated. Simulations of the discrete element method coupled with flow simulation and thus a new screw geometry for improved extraction of the marc.
The aim of the H2-Reallabor Burghausen / ChemDelta Bavaria is to transform the industrial chemical value chain towards sustainable hydrogen-based chemistry.
