Alkali Refining

The Alkali Refining Plant is designed mainly for reducing the free fatty acid content and removing gross impurities such as phosphatides, proteinaceous and mucilaginous substances especially for the oils that contain high in phosphatide content such as soybean oil, sun flower oil and any other seeds oil. Other oil such as palm oil or coconut oil that contain low in phosphatide, may only require to be physically refined by steam stripped for removing the free fatty acid. After alkali refining, the oil is water-washed to remove residual soap. The separators are used to separate the oil from the soap. Capacity Range : 50 MTPD - 2000 MTPD
