Petrosen: Our ambition is to make Senegal an oil and gas giant
The government’s ambition is, through the Société des pétroles du Sénégal (Petrosen), to turn the country into a future hydrocarbon giant, with export revenues approaching 900bn CFA francs ($1.5bn) over the period 2023-2025, according to national forecasts. A little over forty years after its creation, Petrosen is now in the big league.
Sunflower oil has a high nutritional value, having 62-70% linoleic acid content (essential fatty acid) but on the other hand this high polyunsaturated fatty acid content makes this oil sensitive to oxidation. Crude sunflower oil, which has reached a certain level of oxidation is difficult to refine. There are two main difficulties: 1.
Valuable Component Recovery from Sunflower Oil Production Waste
By-products of sunflower oil contain valuable components that can be used in the food industry [2]. Bio-oil production from sunflower seed husks by hydrothermal pre-treated pyrolysis has been reported as a recovery method [3]. Another study focused on the antioxidant activities of polysaccharides from the pulp of sunflower oil production [4].
The steps involved in Sunflower Oil Refining Process: Degumming. Neutralization. Water Washing. Vacuum Drying. Bleaching. De-waxing. Deodorisation. The chemical refining stages of Sunflower oil are also similar to other soft oils except dewaxing which is additional as sunflower oil contains wax which will be removed by dewaxing process.
Senegal to Expand Refining Capacity to Meet Local Demand
Connect with us: December 18, 2020. Serigne Mboup, Director General of the Société Africaine de Raffinage (SAR), spoke to Africa Oil & Power about how the oldest refinery in West Africa has put together an ambitious extension plan to meet local demand requirements. Senegal will start producing crude oil from its offshore Sangomar field in 2023.
With perspectives of oil production in Senegal coming close to materialize, much of the recent Senegal-focused literature (Diop 2018; Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE), 2018) focuses on how revenues from natural resources exploitation could be efficiently used for promoting economic development in Senegal.
Evaluation of sunflower oil refinery waste as feedstock for
Sunflower acid oil (SAO) is a by-product of the refining process of crude sunflower oil, which predominantly consists of free fatty acid and a small amount of acylglycerols, mineral acids (1–2%), moisture (5–8%), phospholipids and sterols (8–10%) which impart pungent odour and dark brown color to the acid oil [10]. Being a byproduct from
April 21, 2022. Senegal’s primary downstream refinery is undergoing major renovations and is set to see a 20% capacity boost. Despite four years of delays attributed to funding challenges, partners disputes and the COVID-19 pandemic, the facility’s upgrades – planned since 2018 – have resumed, ushering in a new era of downstream
Sangomar, Woodside Energy
The Sangomar Field Development Phase 1 is Senegal's first oil project and is on track for first oil in 2024. The Sangomar field (formerly the SNE field), containing both oil and gas, is located approximately 100 kilometres south of Dakar. Work on the Sangomar Field Development commenced in early 2020 and first oil production is targeted in 2024.
The highest total carotenoid content in the UAE extracts was obtained from papaya pulp extracts (58.7 ± 1.6 and 56.0 ± 1.5 μg carotenoids/g oil) using soybean oil and sunflower oil
