	A quick 'guess' is an oil yield of about 10% by weight. As to which process--it depends. Maximum yield is achievable by solvent extraction. Pressing is the lowest cost installation, but not necessarily the lowest cost product. Production volume is a key variable. __________________ Keith E Bowers, PMP
