What is the refining process of small scale palm oil refinery plant?

After understanding the features of small scale palm oil refinery plant, what is the processing technology of the small scale palm oil refinery plant?

About the small scale palm oil refinery plant, it includes four mainly sections：degumming, deacidification, decoloration, deodorization.

From crude palm oil to edible oil refining process

Step 1—Degumming section:

Usually, there are some phospholipid, gum, and protein in crude edible oil. These impurities can be dissolved into oil when there is no water, but once there is water in oil, these impurities can be dissolved into water. So, in degumming section, we use the hot water to wash crude oil for two-three times to make gold phospholipid condenses and reduces colloid, and then remove these impurity.

Step 2—Deacidification section:

During this section, the most widely used method is adding some chemical materials (alkali liquor) to remove the acid materials. And then open the below valve release the soapstock.

Please Note: If the content of FFA in crude oil is high, we will lost much oil and get much soapstock. But if the content of FFA in crude palm oil is low, we will get more oil and less soapstock.

Step 3—Decolorization section:

To make the color of the cooking oil transparent, we usually use White Clay to odsorb the colouring components and to decompose hydroperoxides. This step usually needs 25mins, temperature requirements around 105-110 Celsius.

Step 4—Deodorization section:

This step have high temperature requirement , around 260 Celsius. Based on very high temperature, we can use steam to get off oxidation number, aldehydes, and ketones in crude oil. In addition, some of acid and bad smell also can be taken off in this step.
