Introduction Of Oil Refinery Plant

Oil refinery plant usually includes the following sections: Degumming, Neutralization, Bleaching, Dewaxing and Deodorization. The process of removing these impurities after oil extraction section is called oil refining. The crude oil obtained either from expellers or solvent extraction plant contains impurities, which must be removed to make the oil edible, more palatable and stable against rancidity upon storage.

A batch type oil refinery plant is the most widely used system to refine different oils.  This type of refining process is generally used for smaller capacity plants ranging from 2 Tons per Day to 30 Tons per Day. The batch refining system is preferred because it is low cost and quite easy to operate. This makes the batch process economical, low capital oriented and more viable for use up to 30 TPD.

The batch oil refinery process consists of different sections such as Neutralization, Bleaching, Deodorizing and Winterization.
