Edible Oil Deodorization Plant

Our Edible Oil Deodorization Plant is a highly efficient system that uses modern technology. Deodorization takes place in the final stage of oil refining and removes odor, free fatty acids and color pigments to produce pure bland oil. Oil refined in this way has a good shelf life; retaining both freshness and taste. Our Edible Oil Deodorization Plant is equipped with an efficient packing system and a uniquely designed tray system that aids in increasing retention time for oil and gives maximum surface area for evaporation.

Deodorization Process :

• The bleached and de-waxed oil is heated by phe after which it goes to the de-aeration vessel, where it is sprayed to remove air and metal traces through vacuum.
• After this, oil enters the underlying regenerative heater where it is heated and then cooled (with 80-85% heat recovery).
• The oil which is now partly heated, enters the vacuum heater, where heating takes place by high pressure steam thermal fluid at 240^{oC – 250oC and FFA is removed.}
• Then oil goes to the distillation column having structured packing with very low pressure drop.
• Oil is collected afterwards at the bottom and goes to the holding vessel having a number of trays where thermal bleaching and deodorization occur, to remove odor and final traces of free fatty acids.
• Before storage the hot oil is cooled in the economizer, cooler and phe to about 45^oC.
• Vapors of free fatty acids are collected from deodorizer, heater and economizer to be taken for scrubbing via central ducting to the scrubbing column with structured packing.
• Scrubbing structure is designed to reduce traces of fatty acid carryover in vacuum system and water to 20 ppm max.
• Why Our Edible Oil Deodorization Plant?
  • Easy maintenance
  • Maximum removal of odor, flavor and fatty acids
  • Color reduction by thermal bleaching with low oil loss
  • High heat recovery through regeneration
  • Essential fatty acids in the oil remain intact
  • Maximizes Tocopherol, Ariznol & other nutrients in final oil
  • Low consumption of steam, water and electricity
  • Highly efficient scrubbing of fatty acid (95% FFA concentration)
  • Negligible carry over of fatty acids in water pool
