  • How much oil does Afghanistan have?
  • Currently private sector refineries have the capacity to refine half of total oil supply of Afghanistan, with combined capacity of 32,500 barrels per day. Afghanistan has estimated reserves of 1,908 million barrels of crude oil + 59 trillion cm of natural gas + 667 million barrels of liquid gas.
  • How is shea butter fractionated?
  • Once refined, shea butter can be fractionated into two parts: a creamy fat known as shea stearin and a liquid oil called shea olein—otherwise known as shea oil. Fractionation separates these two unique components using either a chemical reagent or physical methods like centrifugation.
  • How many raw shea nuts are produced in Africa?
  • Africa produces approximately 1,760,000 metric tons (MT) of raw shea nuts a year, and historically, most of this stayed within the African continent to supply domestic demand. The shea export market traditionally traded raw shea kernels rather than shea butter or other finished products.
  • What is a shea nut kernel?
  • The kernel is the oil-bearing material that can be obtained by processing the shea nut fruit. The fruit primarily undergoes several processes - de-pulping, boiling, drying, deshelling, winnowing and sorting - to obtain the kernel from which the shea butter is extracted. Mechanical processing technology
  • How is shea oil extracted?
  • As a result, many shea producers are adopting more mechanized solutions to improve quality and yield. Larger processors use mechanical extraction equipment to recover more oil efficiently. Screw press expellers physically crush the shea kernels to squeeze out shea oil from the solid meal, which exits the expeller as a cake.
  • How many tons a day does Ghazanfar oil refinery produce?
  • Ghazanfar Oil Refinery has an operating capacity of 500 metric tons per day or 150,000 metric tons per year. Using low sulfur crude, oil distillates and other oil derivatives, the refinery and processing units will produce petrol A-80, Kerosene, Diesel and Mazut.
