Main Sections In The Vegetable Oil Refinery Plant

Degumming section: Degumming is the first and basic step in the vegetable oil refinery plant, degumming process aims to removing the gum impurities in the crude oil to make it suitable for further refinery process, hydration degumming and special acid degumming are the two main methods.

 

Deacidify system: The deacidify system uses versatile neutralization technology, which is developed to deal with oilseeds of different species and qualities in the vegetable oil refinery plant, it can realize both degumming and neutralization processes by adding alkali, water and acid, then with FFA, crude phospholipids and moisture all removed, the oil and by products (soap foot, phospholipids) are separated.

 

Bleaching system: The oil bleaching is also named decolorization in vegetable oil refinery plant. This process’s main purpose is to remove the product of oxidation, pigments, phospholipids, soap materials from the oil. In the oil refinery plant, this process can improve the oil color as well as supplies high quality oil for the deodorization process.

 

Deodorization system: Deodorization section is very crucial in vegetable oil refinery plant in first grade oil production as it improves the flavor of the oil; the quality of deodorization equipment has great effect to the oil quality.
