Here are California-grown jatropha beans pressed for oil with the small test press (40J) at a 5 gallon per hour rate. The medium (55J) and large (90J) press behind it can press 3x and 10x this amount of oil respectively. Please see Part 2 of this video to see that rate of extraction.

Jatropha oil has 150% the BTU energy of standard diesel and jet fuel. However, the oil is toxic, and the beans are toxic. Since the toxin is in the oil, once the oil is extracted, the pressmeal is edible for livestock.

About 94% of the oil was removed in this pressing.

I sell these units. Please contact me at davidwgair@yahoo.com for more information.

  • I think leftovers are put back to the soil as fertilizer

  • @ChopperSakura No, the left over is fed to fish, then the fish poop is later used as fertilizer. See "tilapia fish desert center."
