Hi!

Does anyone have or knows a PRocedure how to EXTRACT Oil? from coconut, Algae or whatever...

I want to learn how to extract oil and i cant find any good resource on the web.

Thanks in advance!

This thread has some information on it:

A new method of extraction

There are two methods:

1. mechanical press
a. hot press
b. cold press

2. chemical solvent extraction

Method 2 removes more oil, but leaves the seed hulls as mostly worthless for anything other than fertilizer.

Method 1 leaves a few percent of the oil behind in the seed hulls, which all together remain as a pressed seed cake. Pressed seed cake from sunflower, safflower, canola (mustard, rapeseed & soy are valuable as an animal feed. A hot press may remove so much oil and use enough heat that again the seed cake is worthless for anything but fertilizer.

Coming from an agricultural background, I prefer the cold press method.

Google for 'oilseed expeller' and you'll find all kinds of things. This is one area where there is actually some good information at journeytoforever:
