  • Process for extracting oil from plants and animal matter
    Patent number: 9169455
    Abstract: A process for extracting fats and oils from plant and animal matter using a normally gaseous solvent in its liquid state. Use is made of gravity flow and pressure differential from one vessel to another to transfer solvent from an upper vessel to a lower vessel. The vessels comprise an outer jacket to allow cooling and heating fluid to flow there-through to achieve better control of the pressure within each vessel.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 13, 2014
    Date of Patent: October 27, 2015
    Inventors: Jerry Hamler, Phil Munoz
