Development of a Hydraulic Press for Jatropha Oil Extraction
The fabricated press was tested using grinded Jatropha kernel which was subjected to pressing at different heating temperature of 70. 80, 90 and 100 0 C in order to determine the oil yield from
The Jatrpoha fruit seeds have an energy value of 24 MJ kg −1, which is higher than coal (Augustus and Jayabalan 2002 ). Seed kernel represents 70 % of seed weight and has calorific value of 29.8 MJ kg −1 (Openshaw 2000) to 31.6 MJ kg −1 (Martinez-Herrera et al. 2006 ). J. curcas seed contains about 42 % seed husks.
Jatropha: The biofuel that bombed seeks a path to redemption
At the beginning of the 21st century, Jatropha curcas, an unassuming shrub-like tree native to Central America, was planted across the world. The rush to jatropha was driven by its promise as a
The fruits production of the J. curcas plant could start from the second year of planting, but in limited quantity. From the 5th year onwards, a tree of J. curcas can produce 4–5 kg of fruits if the plants are properly managed. In rain-fed conditions and in wasteland, the yielding of a J. curcas plant can be only 1–1.25 kg of seeds.

Keyword: Hydraulic pres, Jatropha curcas, Heating temperature, Oil yield, Extraction efficiency 1. INTRODUCTION Oil extraction from Jatropha curcas kernel and other oil-bearing seeds involves various preliminary operations such as cleaning, dehulling, drying and grinding. But the total amount of extracted oil depends mainly on the extraction
Effects of different nutrient applications on seed yield and oil yield (kg ha−1) in Jatropha curcas L. Bars indicate SE; different letters indicate that means differ among treatments at P < 0.05.

it is Jatropha curcas (Jongschaap et al. 2007). J. curcas fruit is harvested when it is yellow-brown in colour (Fig. 1), which indicates that the seeds are mature enough and will give the best oil
Palm oil press is a special product developed for palm oil extraction from palm fruit. Its main features are large processing capacity, long press stroke in the pressing chamber with higher pressing pressure, to improve the oil output efficiency for high extraction rate; at the same time, the

moisture. The curcas fruit contains 37.5% shell and 62.5% seed [1]. Seeds are said to resemble castor in seed shape and black in color. They are 42% husk and 58% kernel [1]. Seeds are encased within green capsules in the plant‟s fruit. Seeds often become mature when the capsules change from green to yellow.
The press cake is the raw material for the third zone, delimited with a blue dotted line, where the anaerobic digestion is performed to obtain fertilizer and electricity; whilst the processing of Jatropha curcas oil by hydrotreating and transesterification processes to produce biojet fuel and biodiesel, respectively, represent the fourth zone
