MatruOS for a solvent extraction plant

Set up the way a solvent extraction plant runs: crude oil and de-oiled cake (DOC) over the cost of soybean, bran or cake and processing; some add refining and soy flour. Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.

What this solves

What a solvent extraction plant deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it

01Today

Hexane loss above norm is costly and a fire risk. Crushing continues when parity is negative.

02In MatruOS

MatruOS sets up 8 routines, 2 workflows, 3 registers and 13 licences for a solvent extraction plant, with an AI team that reads your own records and prepares the work.

03What changes

The right person is reminded at the right time, approvals wait for whoever decides, and every licence has a renewal reminder. Anything that sends, pays, signs, files or deletes waits for a person's approval.

Where you sit

MatruOS starts from how your business earns

Who you sell to, who you buy from, how credit moves and where you sit in the chain decide how your screens, reminders and reports are set up.

Your customers

  • Edible oil refiners (crude)
  • Poultry and cattle feed mills (DOC)
  • DOC exporters
  • Aqua feed makers
  • Soy food makers

Your suppliers

  • Soybean traders and APMC arhtiyas

  • Expeller mills (cake)
  • Hexane dealers
  • Coal and husk suppliers
  • Boiler and plant service firms

Credit and cash

Soybean bought cash or within 7 days; rice bran on 7-15 days from mills; crude oil sold against advance or 7-15 days; DOC domestic 7-15 days, exports against LC or advance

Seed for 3-6 months is stocked in Oct-Jan on bank working capital. Each tonne crushed converts within 1-3 weeks to oil and DOC receipts. Export bans, export-parity swings or a fire can stop cash for months.
