Crude palm oil refining machine and main process
What is palm oil refining ?
Oil refining is based on the different usage and requirements, utilizing the physical methods and chemical processes to get rid of the harmful impurities and needless substance in the crude palm oil, getting standard palm oil.So palm oil refining machine is the major equipment to refine crude palm oil.
Widely used physical refining and chemical refining
Equipment of Crude Palm Oil Refining Process:
Degumming section of crude palm oil refining:
Degumming is the first and basic step in the crude palm oil refining process, 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.
Deacidification section of crude palm oil refining:
The deacidification system uses versatile neutralization technology, which is developed to deal with oilseeds of different species and qualities in the crude oil refining process, 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 section of crude palm oil refining:
The oil bleaching is also named decolorization in crude palm oil refining process. 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 section of crude palm oil refining:
Deodorization section is very crucial in crude palm oil refining process 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.
