Case Study Questions

How to use these case studies to plan your own project

Each case study documents: client background and country, oilseed processed, plant capacity (TPD), the specific challenge the client faced, our engineering solution, complete equipment list with model numbers, process flow description, commissioning timeline, oil yield rate achieved, production throughput, and direct client feedback.

Browse by region to find projects in your country or nearby with similar oilseeds and operating conditions. Filter by capacity: mini mills (1–5 TPD), small plants (5–30 TPD), medium plants (30–100 TPD), large refineries (100+ TPD). If your country or oil type is not featured, contact us — we have 500+ project records and can match you with a relevant reference client directly.

Yes. Where clients have given permission, contact information is published in the case study. For serious buyers considering large turnkey projects (30 TPD+), we can also arrange direct WhatsApp introductions to reference clients in your region — especially useful for first-time plant owners who want to hear directly from an experienced operator.

Almost certainly yes. We have 500+ completed projects but only 37 are published here. Common oil types not yet featured include baobab, moringa, avocado, argan, hemp seed, perilla, and shea butter.
