Refining

Refining is an essential process for a complete oil pressing line because there are still some impurities such as phospholipids, FFA, pigment, odor,etc. in the crude oil. As a prominent oil press machines manufacturer who is devoted to processing pure edible oil for worldwide customers, we can provide professional technical support and manufacture first rate machines for your oil refining.

The Process of oil refinery

Crude oil - Degumming - Deacidification - Decolorization - Deodorization- Dewaxing - Fractionation.

Degumming

Here the oils are given acidic treatment where by gums are precipitated and separated out by centrifugal separation or some times only gum conditioning is carried out (when gum content is low) and gums are separated in subsequent neutralising process.

Neutralising Section

The pretreated oil is subjected to Alkali Refining. The caustic soda reacts with Free Fatty Acids (F.F.A.) present in the oil and forms soap stock, the soap stock is separated out by centrifugal separator, oil is washed with water for complete removal of soap stock. The wash water is separated out by centrifugal separators.

Bleaching Section

The neutralized oil is treated with bleaching earth/activated carbon for removal of colouring pigments. The bleaching agent is filtered out in vertical pressure leaf filters. Troika design ensures uniform consistency in colour with minimum requirement of bleaching agent. The bleaching line is versatile and adoptable for all varieties of vegetable oils.

Deodorization Process

As the name suggest process is meant for removal of odour. Every vegetable oil has its own distinct natural odour. During neutralization and bleaching operation unpleasant odour is imparted to the oil, it is therefore essential to remove this odour. The deodorisation is essentially a process of removal of odiferous matter. The operation is carried out at high temperature by injecting open steam and maintaining high vacuum at which time all odoriferous matter is distilled off and carried away to barometric condensors through vacuum system. The resultant oil is odourless – deodorized oil.

Dewaxing Section

Oils like sunflower oil or maize germ oil (corn oil) have waxes present in them. At low temperature these waxes gives haLD appearance to oil, which is not liked by consumers. It is therefore essential to remove these waxes prior to bottling and marketing of oil. Troika offers dewaxing units.
