A PILOT PLANT FOR FISH PROTEIN CONCENTRATE

Abstract

This communication deals with the design aspect and
functions of individual pieces of equipment of a pilot plant
of fifty kg. capacity for the production of fish protein
concentrate (FPC) per day. Design is based on a solvent
extraction process of wet pressed cake with an azeotropic mixture
of hexane and ethyl alcohol. A flow sheet for the process
