Abstract
The aim of this study was to increase the efficiency of rapeseed oil recovery by pressure shockwaves and to asses the changes related to energetical utilization of the seedcake obtained. Mass balances and several design parameters (along with their manifestations on the seedcake) were analyzed to allow further optimization of the technology. It was found that the use of pressure shockwaves, in combination with the mechanical expeller, may increase oil yields up to the theoretical 100 % maximum, or alternatively reduce expeller energy requirements while maintaining the same oil yield. Decreased amounts of oil in the seedcake correlate with reduced amounts of volatile matter, which means lower quantities of hazardous fumes generated during direct combustion. In addition, higher levels of seedcake disintegration accelerated the biogas production.
