Oil Refinery Plant
Edible oil refinery plant is to remove harmful impuries, such as protein, phospholipid, pigment, moisture, wax and other impurities. And then the refined edible oil can reach the standard of food and storage.
The crude oil getting from oil pressing or extraction plant certainly contain different amounts of non-oil impurities, such asmechanical impurities, free fatty acid, colloid, pigment, stink substances, moisture and wax, etc. These impurities will directly change the oil’s color, smell, taste, transparency, stability degree and nutrition, which not only affect the edible value, but also make the oil easy to deteriorate when storing.
The purpose of edible oil refining process is to remove all kinds of impurities, and make the least damage to the neutral oil and natural antioxidants (tocopherol), so as to produce high quality oil produces.
Provide the Best Solution of Edible Oil Refining
Referring to oil refining, the character of impurities contained in crude oil, and the purpose of refined oil must be concerned. Mehar Engineering will customize the oil refinery process and solution for each of customer depending on their specific situation and needs.
So called “refinery”, generally refers to deacidification process. But in the broad sense, oil refinery process includes crude oil pretreatment, degumming, deacidifying, decoloring, deodorization, degreasing, and dewaxing process, etc. We will design the refining process depending on the quality requirements of refined oil.
For example, according to the relevant quality standard, edible oil refinery for soybean, peanut, and sesame, only needs pretreatment and degumming, and cottonseed oil refinery needs pretreatment, degumming and deacidifying, and rice bran oil refining needs pretreatment, degumming, deacidifying ,decoloring, deodorization and dewaxing process to each the standard of cooking oil.
The edible oil refining process include: degumming, neutralizing, bleaching, deodorizing and sometimes dewaxing.
The oil refining process is suitable for refining soybean oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, palm oil ,cottonseed oil and etc
To remove odoriferous material by steam distillation under condition of high temperature and vacuum to improve the flavor, stability, color and quality of the oil.
Dewaxing/Fractionation
Through automatic control temperature system, separate the wax/ stearin from the oil to improve the oil quality.
