INTRODUCTION

c o./- As part of the program to gather emissions data €-em the

vegetable oil industry, on August 0 , 1979 personnel from PEDCo

Environmental, Inc. and Research Triangle Institute conducted a

survey at the Ralston Purina vegetable oil extraction plant in

Memphis, Tennessee. The purpose of this visit was to collect

meal samples (to be analyzed for hexane content), monitor process

conditions, and check selected sites for visible emissions. Meal

samples and stack opacity readings were taken by personnel from

PEDCo Environmental Inc. Research Triangle Institute personnel eA mon tor process conditions.

Ralston Purina processes soybean meal for both human con-

sumption and animal feed. Samples of both &ma-1 products were

taken. Meal samples were collected in triplicate every hour for

a seven hour period at the following points:

s.vpci 0.' , - * ' ? ., i

1. After the Desolventizer-toaster (D T )

2. After the meal dryer (A.D.)

3 . After the stripper

4 . Final edible product

Stack opacity was read at eight different sites in the plant.

SUMMARY OF RESULTS

2.1 MEAL SAMPLES

Hexane concentration in the meal was determined on both a

wet meal and dry meal basis. The dry weight of the meal was

determined by placing the sample in a drying oven after analysis

and reweighing the sample after the moisture and hexane had been

driven o f f .

Table 1 presents the average hexane concentration of all

b I I I I I I

samples taken at each site. At each of the sites, hexane con-

centration remained fairly constant through the sampling period.

The average change in hexane concentration from wet meal to dry

meal basis was 25 percent for the D T samples, 1 5 percent at

the dryer, 11 percent at the stripper, 11 percent in the final

edible product, and 17 percent in the final meal.

The laboratory analysis report showing the concentrations,

sample weights, and the dates of analysis for each of the

samples taken is in Appendix B of this report. Meal sampling

log sheets are in Appendix A.

to sampling, 0.5 mf. of water was added to wet the filter paper,

take a sample from the conveyor belt. A small portion of this

scoop was then transferred to each of the triplicate samples

immediately on the samples. An aluminum cap was then crimped

Analysis was done by placing the sample bottle into a sand-

bath for two hours at 125'C and then gradually cooling the sample

to room temperature. A 1.0 mll head space sample is then injected

into a gas chromatograph. Calibration standards are made by

adding a known amount of 99 mole Percent n-hexane to processed

meal that has been completely dried. To determine the dry weight

of the meal sampled after analysis, the samples were placed in a

drying oven uncapped and reweighed after the moisture and hexane

had been driven off.
