Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to the derivation of protein powder. More particularly, the invention relates to the derivation of protein powder from aquatic animals.
- oily fish examples include sardines, boguerón, mackerel, palometa, blue jack mackerel (chicarro), tuna, northern bonita, salmon, eel and swordfish.
- the oil of blue fish is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and is comprised, among other things, of Omega 3 fatty acids.
- the concentration of lipids also varies greatly from one species to another. For example, some species of fish live in deep zones and, as they do not migrate, they do not have a need to accumulate oils.
- the recommended total consumption of protein is 15% of daily caloric intake, or 0.8 gram per kilo of weight.
- meat, eggs, and milk fish contribute protein containing all the essential amino acids. It is estimated that 35 grams of consumption a day of pure protein would satisfy an organism's aminoacids requirements like a full meal.
- Protein found in fish contains all of the amino acids essential to humans, and for this reason, fish protein is of very high nutritional value. Fish is easily digested and is relatively low in calories. The lipids found in blue fish have been associated with a series of beneficial effects related to the prevention of myocardial heart attacks and arteriosclerosis.
- Fish also contain large quantities of vitamins A and D, as well as vitamin E, which afford the protecting effect of an antioxidant.
- fish are also a source of vitamins of the B group, specifically B12. Fish are very rich in sodium and potassium, and somewhat less in calcium.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an exemplary system for processing of raw material in an embodiment.
- FIG. 2 is a flowchart of an exemplary method for processing the raw material in an embodiment.
- FIG. 3 is a block diagram of an exemplary system for the derivation of protein powder in an embodiment.
- FIG. 4 is a flowchart of an exemplary method for the derivation of protein powder in an embodiment.
- FIG. 5 if a block diagram of an exemplary system for the production of oil, production of water, and the recovery of an additive in an exemplary embodiment.
- FIG. 6 is a flowchart of an exemplary method for the recovery of oil, water, and additive(s).

Abstract
Description
- The present application is a continuation in part of, and seeks priority to, nonprovisional application Ser. No. 11/973,106, entitled “Method for Deriving a High Protein Powder/Omega 3 Oil and Double Distilled Water From Any Kind of Fish or Animal (Protein),” filed Oct. 5, 2007, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
- A portion of the disclosure of this patent document contains material that is subject to copyright protection. The copyright owner has no objection to the facsimile reproduction by anyone of the patent document or patent disclosure as it appears in the Patent and Trademark Office, patent file or records, but otherwise reserves all copyright rights whatsoever.
- The present invention relates generally to the derivation of protein powder. More particularly, the invention relates to the derivation of protein powder from aquatic animals.
- Throughout the centuries, the development of human life has been based upon nutrients and proteins that originate from natural resources. The proteins generated by the food humans consume include animal proteins and vegetable proteins.
- Humanity has developed primarily on portions of continents and, secondarily, at the periphery of the oceans. The most widely exploited natural resources are those of the continents. This is a cause of imbalance of the food chain, which, as a result, currently poses great problems and nutritional deficiencies among different populations.
- In a 2002 report of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) concerning the insecurity of the food supply throughout the world, the FAO maintained, “progress in the reduction of hunger has virtually stopped.” The FAO advised that “unless this tendency is radically reversed, the world will be very far from reaching the goal of the World Food Summit of 1996 to reduce by half the number of people suffering from hunger by the year 2015.” In order to reach this goal, the reduction in the number of people suffering from hunger would have to number 24 million each year.
- Deriving, from a variety of different sources, protein that may be transported to different people in need may solve many problems associated with lack of nutrition. Humans have benefited from proteins in a medical and nutritional form. Markets have been developed that has given rise to industrialization and commercialization in accordance with the identification of a greater protein potential in some species of fish. Unfortunately, industrialization and commercialization has resulted in the specific exploitation of classified groups of fish, which has placed the biologic balance in danger.
- There is a large variety of marine animals, continental and oceanic, which have formed part of the food chain. From the nutritional point of view, fish are classified according to oil content and are divided into lean, semi-oily, and oily fish. For example, in white fish or lean fish, the oil content does not typically pass 2.5%. Hake, monkfish, sole, and dory are some examples of whitefish. The lowest index is found in codfish, with an oil content of about 0.25%. Semi-oily fish have a concentration of oils greater than 2.5% without passing 6%. Sea bream, mullet, gold bream, and bass are some examples of semi-oily fish. Oily fish may have a concentration of oil as high as 10%. Fish that have a high concentration of oils are known popularly as blue fish. Examples of oily fish include sardines, boguerón, mackerel, palometa, blue jack mackerel (chicarro), tuna, northern bonita, salmon, eel and swordfish. The oil of blue fish is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and is comprised, among other things, of
Omega 3 fatty acids. The concentration of lipids also varies greatly from one species to another. For example, some species of fish live in deep zones and, as they do not migrate, they do not have a need to accumulate oils. - The recommended total consumption of protein (meat, fish, or other) is 15% of daily caloric intake, or 0.8 gram per kilo of weight. As in the case of meat, eggs, and milk, fish contribute protein containing all the essential amino acids. It is estimated that 35 grams of consumption a day of pure protein would satisfy an organism's aminoacids requirements like a full meal.
- Protein found in fish contains all of the amino acids essential to humans, and for this reason, fish protein is of very high nutritional value. Fish is easily digested and is relatively low in calories. The lipids found in blue fish have been associated with a series of beneficial effects related to the prevention of myocardial heart attacks and arteriosclerosis.
- Fish also contain large quantities of vitamins A and D, as well as vitamin E, which afford the protecting effect of an antioxidant. Generally speaking, fish are also a source of vitamins of the B group, specifically B12. Fish are very rich in sodium and potassium, and somewhat less in calcium.
- In view of the foregoing, there is a need for a nutritional supplement to fight malnutrition that is high in protein and may be obtained from a wide variety of species of aquatic animals so that certain species of fish are not over-exploited.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart of an exemplary method for processing ofomega 3 oil in an embodiment. - Systems and methods for deriving protein powder are disclosed. In various embodiments, protein powder is prepared by a process comprising sanitizing raw material from aquatic animals mixture with ozone, combining the raw material with a solvent to create a mixture, baking the combined mixture for a first time period, separating, with a filter, liquid from the combined mixture that was baked for the first time period, baking the combined mixture without the separated liquid for a second time period, separating, with a filter, liquid from the combined mixture that was baked for the second time period, curing the combined mixture, and processing the cured mixture to produce protein powder.
- In some embodiments, the process further comprises baking the combined mixture without the separated liquid for a third time period and separating liquid from the combined mixture that was baked for the third time period. The process may further comprise filtering amine from the liquid separated by the filter.
- The process, in some embodiments, may comprise distilling the liquid and filtering at least a portion of the distilled liquid to produce fish oil. Further, the process may comprise separating the liquid by filtering. One portion of the liquid may be distilled. The other portion may be water which may be purified.
- The process may comprise adding solvent to the combined mixture prior to baking for the first time period and adding solvent to the combined mixture prior to baking for the second time period. Further, the process may comprise grinding the raw material prior to combining the raw material and the solvent.
- The solvent may comprise isopropyl alcohol. In some embodiments, the combined mixture may be baked for a first time period and the mixture rotated. The process may further comprise distilling the liquid to recover the solvent.
- In various embodiments, an exemplary method comprises sanitizing raw material from aquatic animals mixture with ozone, combining the raw material with a solvent to create a mixture, baking the combined mixture for a first time period, separating, with a filter, liquid from the combined mixture that was baked for the first time period, baking the combined mixture without the separated liquid for a second time period, separating, with a filter, liquid from the combined mixture that was baked for the second time period, curing the combined mixture, and processing the cured mixture to produce protein powder.
- An exemplary system comprises a preparation tank, a reactor, a filter, a mill, and an oven. The preparation tank may be configured to sanitize raw material from aquatic animals with ozone and to combine the raw material with a solvent to create a mixture. The reactor may be configured to bake the combined mixture for a first time period and bake the combined mixture of a second time period. The filter may be configured to separate solvent, oil, water, and amine from the combined mixture after baking in the reactor for the first time and configured to separate solvent, water, and amine from the combined mixture after baking in the reactor for the second time. The mill may be configured to grind the combined mixture. The oven may be configured to cure the ground combined mixture to produce protein powder.
- A large number of different types of aquatic animals may be used to form the basis of raw material. Discussed herein are systems and methods for deriving protein powder from the raw material.
- A solvent may be added to the raw material during processing. In some embodiments, the solvent may be extracted for later reuse. Further, fish oil, such as
Omega 3 fish oil, may be extracted. Moreover, water may be extracted from the raw material as well. In some embodiments, exemplary systems and methods described herein derive protein powder, fish oil, and water from the raw material. - The protein powder may be a complete aminogram free of fish odor or smell (e.g., amine free). The protein powder may also be hydroscopic and sterile.
- Further, the raw material may be derived from a variety of fish. By using a wide variety of different types of aquatic animals to meet current protein, oil, and water needs, overfishing of limited select resources (e.g., certain species of salmon) are avoided while the protein needs of many people may be met.
-
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of anexemplary system 100 for processing of raw material in an embodiment. In some embodiments, protein powder may comprise 85% or more of the protein that may be separated from the raw material. - Various embodiments discussed herein obtain protein, minerals,
omega 3 oils, and/or distilled water from aquatic animals. By way of example, if a large tuna fish of 10 kilos is processed, 2 kilos of pure protein with complete amino gram may be obtained. If a skinny chip fish of 4 kilos is processed, 1 kilo of pure protein worth the complete amino gram may be obtained. The skinny chip fish, however, may produce less oil per volume of protein. The quality of the protein is generally not different between the two fish. Various embodiments may use any and all parts of even waste aquatic animals as long as the aquatic animals are fresh. For example, all part of a fish including the head, viscera, bones, cartilage, tissue etc, may be used. It should be noted that health benefits from the fish's other body parts may also be present in products of some embodiments. - In various embodiments, any kind of aquatic animal may be used as raw material. By using fewer over-exploited aquatic animals, systems and methods described herein may provide a means of avoiding the over exploitation of better-known species, including, for example, sardines, tuna, and salmon shark, robalo, shrimp, octopus, and squid.
- A large percentage of the catch from fisherman is not commercial. Often the fisherman throws back fish because there is not a buyer for that kind of fish. Since a wide variety of different kinds of fish and aquatic animals may be used as the basis for the raw material from which the protein powder is obtained, endangered species of fish may be avoided.
- An exemplary process uses the whole aquatic animal (e.g., whole fish), using solvents at different stages. The process may be on a closed circuit; for example, solvents may be recovered in order to use the recovered solvents again. The result of the process may be a high-quality protein with the complete amino gram and mineral concentration made at a low cost.
- In various embodiments, the system depicted in
FIG. 1 may be part of a larger system for producing protein powder, oil, and water, from raw material (e.g., fish and/or other animals). In an example,FIGS. 1 and 3 display an exemplary system for producing protein powder from the raw material.FIGS. 1 and 5 display an exemplary system for retrieving oil (e.g.,Omega 3 fish oil) and water from the raw material. - The
exemplary system 100 for processing of raw material comprises a warehouse production facility 102, mills 104 a-b, preparation (e.g., prep.) tanks 106 a-b, anadditive tank 108, reactors 110 a-b, filters 112 a-b, aliquid capture tank 114, and amill 116. AlthoughFIG. 1 depicts two mills 104 a-b, preparation tanks 106 a-b, reactors 110 a-b, filters 112 a-b those skilled in the art will appreciate that there may be any number of mills 104 a-b, preparation tanks 106 a-b, reactors 110 a-b, and filters 112 a-b. Similarly, although only one warehouse production facility 102,additive tank 108,liquid capture tank 114, andmill 116 is depicted, those skilled in the art will appreciate that there may be any number of warehouse production facilities 102,additive tanks 108,liquid capture tanks 114, andmills 116. - The raw material for the process is stored in a warehouse production facility 102. In some embodiments, the warehouse production facility 102 includes a refrigeration system to prevent decomposition of the raw material. The warehouse production facility 102 may have any amount of capacity. In one example, the warehouse production facility 102 may store 3,000 tons of bulk fish (e.g., raw material). In some embodiments, the warehouse production facility 102 may include one or more disposal areas to dispose of bulk fish that are sufficiently fresh as well as one or more scales for weighing the raw material prior to processing.
- Mills 104 a-b, may be any kind of mill configured to physically break down (e.g., grind or crush) the raw material from the warehouse production facility 102. In some embodiments, the mills 104 a-b grind the raw material to approximately ¼ inch pieces. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the raw material may be broken down to any size pieces using any type of device. In some embodiments, the raw material in the warehouse production facility 102 is evaluated for quality and weighed. Predetermined amounts of raw material may then be placed within each mill, respectively. The weighing of the raw material may happen before grinding, after grinding, or both before and after grinding.
- Preparation tanks 106 a-b are any tanks that receive the milled raw material from the mills 104 a-b. The preparation tanks 106 a-b may comprise a blending system. In some embodiments, the preparation tanks 106 a-b may rotate in order to agitate raw material and/or be sealable so that air may not escape the tanks.
- In various embodiments, if the characteristics of the raw material are different, milled raw material may be placed inside a
preparation tank 106 a which may be subsequently sealed. Optionally, ozone may be pumped into the tank in order to sanitize the raw material. In one example, ozone is pumped into thepreparation tank 106 a until the pressure within thepreparation tank 106 a reaches approximately 20 psi. Thepreparation tank 106 a is mixed for a period of time (e.g., 40 minutes) to homogenize the raw material and/or increase exposure of the raw material to the ozone. In one example, thepreparation tank 106 a is rotated at approximately 50 to 60 rotations per minute (rpm). - Additives may be added either before or after the ozone is pumped into the preparation tanks. Additives may include, but not limited to, a solvent. The additive may also include other materials and/or chemicals. In some embodiments, the preparation tanks have a minimum capacity of 30,000 liters each and are each capable of supporting at least 30 tons of weight.
- The
additive tank 108 is a tank that holds additives to be mixed with the milled raw material in the preparation tanks 106 a-b and/or the reactors 110 a-b. In one example, theadditive tank 108 has a storage capacity of 120,000 liters. In some embodiments, one or more additives, such as a solvent is later recovered (further discussed herein) and added back to theadditive tank 108 for later use. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that theadditive tank 108 and/or one or more other tanks, may include any kind of additive to add to the raw material. - Reactors 110 a-b receive the prepared material from the preparation tanks 106 a-b. The reactors may be any kind of reaction tank. Each reactor 110 a-b may, in some embodiments, heat and rotate the raw material from the preparation tanks 106 a-b. In various embodiments, the reactor may heat the raw material and solvent to a predetermined temperature (e.g., 90° C.) for a predetermined period of time. In one example of a reactor, the reactor may be heated from 380° to 450° C. in order to quickly heat the raw material to 90° C. (e.g., via one or more boilers). In some embodiments, the raw material is kept at or below 90° C. to prevent the raw material (or components thereof) from burning. The reactors 110 a-b may also have one or more thermometers configured to read the temperature of the mixture. The reactor may rotate at speeds from 4,000 to 5,000 rpm. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the reactor may rotate at any speed (e.g., 2000 rpm).
- In some embodiments, each of these reactors 110 a-b has a capacity of at least 20,000 liters, and each is capable of supporting at least 20 tons. The material inside the reactor 110 a-b may further receive additional additives (e.g., additional solvent). In one example, solvent is added to the raw material in a ratio of 2 parts solvent to 1 part raw material. Once completed, the material in the reactor forms a reactivated mixture. In some embodiments, the heat of the reactors and/or the solvent may further sanitize the milled raw material.
- In various embodiments, each of the reactors 110 a-b comprise a blending system to homogenize the mixture prepared with the additives coming from the
additive tank 108. Further, the reactors 110 a-b may comprise one or more pumps to pump the reactivate mixture from the reaction tanks 110 a-b to the filters 112 a-b. Thereactor 110 a may comprise automatic valves and sensors to monitor the process. - In some embodiments, a magnetic field is applied to align molecules of the solvent and raw material mixture in the reactor. The alignment of the molecules may, in one example, improve the function of the solvent and/or the process of separating out liquids (e.g., amine, solvent, water, and oil) from the rest of the raw material. Electricity may also be applied to the solvent and raw material mixture for the same or similar purpose.
- Once the solvent and milled raw material is placed in the
reactor 110 a, the mixture may be heated and rotated for a predetermined period of time. In one example, heat and a magnetic field are applied to the solvent and milled raw material for five minutes at thirty minute intervals for two hours. - In various embodiments, the quality of the protein powder is not degraded as the process is low temperature thus not burning or degrading the protein and keeping the organoleptic structure intact. This may result in a relatively complete if not complete amino gram of high quality concentration of protein on the final product.
- Filters 112 a-b filter the reactivated mixture to separate out solids from liquids. In some embodiments, filters 112 a-b are centrifuges. In one example, a centrifuge may rotate at 2,000-3,000 rpm. In other embodiments, the filters 112 a-b may be any kind of filter, strainer, or combination (e.g., combination of filters, strainers, and/or centrifuges). In one example, the filters 112 a-b separate out 70% of the liquids from the raw material. In one example, the filters 112 a-b are a fine mesh for separation of solid materials from solvent-soluble materials.
- In some embodiments, the filters 112 a-b comprise centrifuges that operate in a vacuum. In one example, fumes from the solvent may be recovered during filtering. Solvent may be recovered from the fumes and stored for later use (e.g., the solvent may be recovered and stored in the additive tank 108).
- After filtration, the reactors 110 a-b may receive the solid material from the filters 112 a-b, for further processing. Subsequently, the filters 112 a-b may re-filter the reactivated material and extract more liquid. The filters 112 a-b may, in some embodiments, have the ability to extract at least 21,000 liters of liquids per hour. In various embodiments, each time the reactors receive material (e.g., either from the preparation tanks 106 a-b or the filters 112 a-b) additive(s) such as solvent(s) may be added to the material from the
additive tank 108. - In some embodiments, the material is reactivated in the reactors 110 a-b and filtered by the
filters 112 a three times. In other embodiments, the material is reactivated in the reactors 110 a-b and filtered by thefilters 112 a five times. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the material may be reactivated in the reactors 110 a-b and filtered by thefilters 112 a any number of times - The
liquid capture tank 114 is any tank that receives liquids (e.g., heavy liquids) from the filters 112 a-b. The liquid in the tank may comprise additive(s) (e.g., solvent(s)), oil, water, and amine. The additives may be recovered from the liquid (as further described herein). Further, oil (e.g.,Omega 3 oil) and purified water may be obtained from the liquid. In some embodiments, amines in the liquid are later removed or reduced in order to reduce or eliminate fishy smell or taste from the oil and water. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the liquid removed from the raw material may comprise any components beyond solvent, oil, water, and amine. In one example, the liquid may comprise salt which may be later removed (e.g., via distillation). - The
mill 116 is any mill that may break, grind, and/or crush material from the filter 112 a-b. In one example, the material passed between the reactors 110 a-b and the filters 112 a-b three times before themill 116 receives the remaining solids from the filter 112 a-b. In one example, themill 116 may further grind the material to 118th inch pieces. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that themill 116 may grind the material to any size. - It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the
system 100 andsystem 300 depicted inFIGS. 1 and 3 , respectively, may include redundant systems to allow for one or more components to break or maintenance to be performed. For example, ifmill 104 a requires maintenance, the raw material may be provided throughmill 104 b. Similarly, ifpreparation tank 106 a is unavailable, mills 104 a-b may provide the milled materials to any number of other preparation tanks other thanpreparation tank 106 a. -
FIG. 2 is a flowchart of anexemplary method 200 for processing the raw material in an embodiment. The discussion regardingFIGS. 2, 4, and 6 refer to single components even if two or more of the same component (e.g., mill 104 a-b inFIG. 1 ) are depicted inFIGS. 1, 3, and 5 . Those skilled in the art will appreciate that although only one component is discussed, any number of components may be used within exemplary systems and methods. - In various embodiments, systems depicted in
FIGS. 1 and 3 may have capacity to produce 18 tons of protein powder (e.g., Advanced Protein Powder) and 5,000 liters of fish oil (e.g., omega 3) from 100 tons of fresh fish (e.g., raw material). In various embodiments, the process does not harm the environment with pollutants or toxic fumes. - In
step 202, raw material is verified and milled. In some embodiments, the raw material is sorted and raw material that is not sufficiently fresh is disposed. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the raw material may be sanitized. Further, the raw material may be de-boned, or less desirable material of the raw material may be disposed. The raw material may also be weighed with a scale and apportioned by weight prior to transport to thepreparation tank 106 a. - In various embodiments, the raw material will include any number of aquatic animals of many types. In one example, the raw material includes a limited number of different types of aquatic animals (e.g., salmon, tuna, and sardines only). In another example, the raw material may comprise any number of aquatic animals. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that poison fish may be used without dangerous residues in the finished powder, oil, and water.
- In some embodiments, specific type and/or species of fish may be selected based on available protein and/or nutrition content. In other embodiments, the selection of fish is unrelated to protein quality.
- In
step 204, thepreparation tank 106 a receives solvent and milled raw material to be prepared for thereactor 110 a. In some embodiments, the milled raw material is combined with ozone to sanitize the milled raw material. In one example, raw material is placed within thepreparation tank 106 a which is sealed. Ozone may be pumped into thepreparation tank 106 a which may then rotate to agitate the milled raw material. After which, solvent may be added to the agitated milled raw material. - In various embodiments, the
preparation tank 106 a receives a solvent such as isopropyl alcohol from theadditive tank 108 and blends the solvent with the milled raw material. During preparation, the milled raw material may dissolve to form a viscous liquid. - In
step 206,reactor 110 a processes the prepared solvent and milled raw material. The prepared solvent and milled raw material may receive more solvent and/or other additives from theadditive tank 108. In various embodiments, thereactor 110 a heats (e.g., to 90° C.) and rotates (e.g., at speeds from 4,000 to 5,000 rpm) the prepared mixture for 2 hours. In some embodiments, the typical percentage of material in thereactor 110 a is two parts milled raw material to 4 parts solvent. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that thereactor 110 a may heat the prepared solvent and milled raw material at any heat, rotate at any speed, for any length of time. - In
step 208, thefilter 112 a filters the processed material from the reactor 110 to separate out liquids. In various embodiments, thefilter 112 a is a decanter which decants the processed material for one hour. Thefilter 112 a (e.g., decanter) may store any liquid in theliquid capture tank 114. Remaining solids may be returned to thereactor 110 a. In some embodiments, at least some of the solvents may be absorbed. - In
step 210, thereactor 110 a re-processes the filtered solid material a second time. In various embodiments, additional additives such as solvent may be added to the filtered solid material prior to processing. In some embodiments, the filtered solid material and additive(s) may be heated (e.g., to 90° C.) and rotated (e.g., at speeds from 4,000 to 5,000 rpm) for two hours. - In
step 212, thefilter 112 a re-filters the re-processed material to separate out liquids a second time. Any separated liquids may be stored in theliquid capture tank 114. Remaining solids may be returned to thereactor 110 a. - In
step 214, thereactor 110 a re-processes the re-filtered solid material a third time. In various embodiments, additional additives such as solvent may be added to the filtered solid material prior to processing. In some embodiments, the filtered solid material and additive(s) may be heated and rotated for two hours. - In
step 216, thefilter 112 a re-filters the re-processed material to separate out liquids a third time. Any separated liquids may be stored in theliquid capture tank 114. Remaining solids may be provided to a mill (e.g., mill 116). - In
step 218, theliquid capture tank 114 receives liquids from thefilter 112 a duringsteps step 220,mill 116 mills the remaining solids received from thefilter 506. In some embodiments, themill 116 grinds the remaining solids and eliminates or reduces remnants of remaining solvents. - Those skilled in the art will appreciate that at one or more filtration steps, filtration may occur with earth material and/or resin ionic exchange to eliminate amines compounds (e.g., odor of the marine animals).

mill 116. The ovens 302 a-b may then cure the re-milled material from themill 116. The ovens may be any kind of ovens including vacuum ovens that are configured to heat the milled material from themill 116 to a temperature of 90° C. which dries the re-milled material. Remaining solvent may be collected from fumes during the curing process. The collected solvent may be stored and reused. In some embodiments, the ovens 302 a-b rotate (e.g., at 40 rpm) to agitate the mixture and speed drying. - The
protein powder storage 304 is any facility that may receive the protein powder (e.g., Advanced Protein Powder) from the ovens 302 a-b. Theprotein powder storage 304 may be a hopper, silo, or any structure that can store the accumulated cooked and milled solids. - The packing and
shipping 306 is any facility that may receive the protein powder from the proteinpowder storage facility 304 and package and/or ship the protein powder. -

There may be any number ofliquid capture tanks 114. Instep 604, thedistillation tower 502 a receives the liquid from theliquid capture tank 114 and distills the liquid for four hours. - In
step 604, the captured liquid from theliquid capture tank 114 is distilled by thedistillation tower 502 a. The captured liquid may be distilled any number of times to separate out water and oil from additive(s) such as solvents from the captured liquid. In some embodiments, the oil and/or solvent may be rectified. Thedistillation tower 502 a, may, in some embodiments, remove all or some of the odor causing chemicals from the oil. - In
step 606, thefilter 504 filters the distilled liquid to collect additive(s) such as a solvent (e.g., isopropyl alcohol or methylic alcohol) for storage in theadditive tank 108. Thefilter 504 may also filter the distilled liquid to separate outOmega 3 fish oil from water instep 608. Further, in some embodiments, thefilter 504 serves the purpose of purifying the additive, so that the additive may later be transferred toadditive tank 108. - Those skilled in the art will appreciate that at one or more filtration steps, filtration may occur with earth material and resin ionic exchange to eliminate amines compounds (e.g., to odor of the marine animals). The filtration may occur before the liquids are distilled, after the liquids are distilled, or during distillation.
- In
step 610, theoil storage 508 stores theOmega 3 fish oil from the filtered liquid. Instep 612, theOmega 3 fish oil may be processed prior to shipping. In one example, theOmega 3 fish oil may be processed to lighten the color of theOmega 3 fish oil, prepare the oil for encapsulation, or prepare the oil to be taken orally by adding flavors. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that any kind of processing may be performed. - In
step 614, thewater purifier 512 purifies water from thefilter 506 and instep 616, thewater tank 514 receives the water and prepares the water for bottling. The water may be further purified or additives may be added. In some embodiments, the water is bottled for drinking. In other embodiments, the water may be used for non-potable activities. - In various embodiments, the
distillation tower 502 a and thefilter 504 may comprise a retort, distillation column, and condenser for retrieving solvent. The retort may have a boiling point of 60-90° C. with a pressure of 540 to 610 mmHG. The distillation column receives the output from the retort and the condenser receives the output from the distillation column. Ultimately, the condenser outputs solvent that may be used again. In one example, the process may retrieve 85% of the solvent. -

step 704, saturated fats may be reduced or eliminated from the fish oil. In one example, saturated fats are reduced or eliminated by winterisation. Winterisation is the process of removing components of the oil with a high melting point. In one example, the oil is cooked gradually and filtered at low temperature. The filter may comprise a centrifuge. In some embodiments, the saturated fats may be reduced or eliminated by cooling the liquid (e.g., by applying nitrogen to the fish oil) and removing the saturated fats that solidify in the oil. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that there are many ways to remove the saturated fats. - In
step 706, heavy metals are reduced from the fish oil. In some embodiments, heavy metals are reduced or eliminated during distillation (e.g., via distillation towers 502 a-b). In various embodiments, a magnetic field may be applied to the fish oil to remove heavy metals. Further, heavy metals may also be absorbed by a filter within or coupled to one or more distillation towers 502 a-b. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that there are many ways to remove heavy metals from the fish oil. - In
step 708, the fish oil is distilled (e.g., via distillation towers 502 a-b). In some embodiments, the fish oil is distilled to reduce and/or refine pollutants. In one example, the heavy metal discussed instep 706 is a pollutant. - In
