Soybean oil, derived from the seed of the legume plant Glycine max, is the vegetable oil feedstock for most of the biodiesel being produced in the United States today, and soybeans are the largest oilseed crop in the world. The United States is the world’s leading producer of soybeans, followed by Argentina and Brazil, according to the American Soybean Association Web site. Seneca BioEnergy’s soybean crushing facility in Romulus, Seneca County, will process about 500 tons per day of oilseeds, requiring about 10 million bushels of soybeans a year to produce 15 million gallons of vegetable oil annually for on-site production of biodiesel fuels. The Seneca AgBio Green Energy Complex will be a mechanical processing crush plant, with mechanical extrusion and pressing of oilseeds. There will be no cooking or roasting of feedstocks, and no extraction using solvents. All feedstocks will be processed into natural products, with no wastes that would require disposal. In this manner, we will produce a high-value natural soybean oil, which can be sold as a food-grade vegetable oil.
