2. Expeller pressing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expeller_pressing

   Expeller pressing (also called oil pressing) is a mechanical method for extracting oil from raw materials. The raw materials are squeezed under high pressure in a single step. When used for the extraction of food oils, typical raw materials are nuts, seeds and algae, which are supplied to the press in a continuous feed. As the raw material is ...

3. Separator (oil production) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separator_(oil_production)

   A spreader plate that disperses the oil into small streams or rivulets increases the effectiveness of the heated-water bath. Upward flow of the oil through the water bath affords slight agitation, which is helpful in coalescing and separating entrained gas from the oil. A heated-water bath is probably the most effective method of removing foam ...

4. Pumpjack - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumpjack

   The scale of the technology is frequently smaller than for an oil well, and can typically fit on top of an existing hand-pumped well head. The technology is simple, typically using a parallel-bar double-cam lift driven from a low-power electric motor, although the number of pumpjacks with stroke lengths 54 inches (1.4 m) and longer being used ...

5. Extraction of petroleum - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraction_of_petroleum

   Oil rigs and oil platforms are used to drill long holes into the earth to create an oil well and extract petroleum. After extraction, oil is refined to make gasoline and other products such as tires and refrigerators. Extraction of petroleum can be dangerous and have led to oil spills. [1]

6. Vapor–liquid separator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor–liquid_separator

   A vapor-liquid separator may operate as a 3-phase separator, with two immiscible liquid phases of different densities. For example natural gas (vapor), water and oil/condensate. The two liquids settle at the bottom of the vessel with oil floating on the water. Separate liquid outlets are provided. [5]

7. Soxhlet extractor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soxhlet_extractor

   A Soxhlet extractor is a piece of laboratory apparatus [1] invented in 1879 by Franz von Soxhlet. [2] It was originally designed for the extraction of a lipid from a solid material. Typically, Soxhlet extraction is used when the desired compound has a limited solubility in a solvent , and the impurity is insoluble in that solvent.

9. Olive oil extraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive_oil_extraction

   Olive oil extraction is the process of extracting the olive oil present in olive drupes. Olive oil is produced in the mesocarp cells , and stored in a particular type of vacuole called a lipo vacuole, i.e., every cell contains a tiny olive oil droplet.
