Fatty Acid Distillation Plant

oil and water are pumped counter currently into the splitting tower under high pressure, where in splitting takes place. The crude fatty acid and sweet water are then flashed into respective flash tanks and taken to settling tank. The crude fatty acid is distilled under high vacuum in a specially designed distillation still with the addition of steam. The vapours are then condensed in a set of surface condenser to get the desired grade of distilled fatty acids.
