Palm Oil Refining Degumming and Deacidification Equipment

Palm Oil Refining Degumming and Deacidification Section Introduction:

Washing: there is still about 500ppm soap in the neutralized oil from the separator. To remove the remaining soap, add into the oil about 5~8% hot water, with water temperature 3~5 ℃ higher than the oil generally. To achieve more stable washing effect, add phosphoric acid or citric acid when washing. The re-mixed oil and water in the mixer is heated to 90-95℃ by the heater, and then enters the wash separator to separate the remaining soap and most water. The water with soap and oils enters into oil separator to separate out oil in the water. Further catch the oil outside, and the wastewater is discharged to the sewage treatment station.

Vacuum drying stage: there is still moisture in the oil from the wash separator, and the moisture will affect the stability of the oil. So the oil at 90℃ should be sent to vacuum drier to remove the moisture, and then the dehydrated oil goes to the decoloring process. Finally, pump out the dry oil by canned pump.

Palm Oil Refining Decolorizing Section

Palm Oil Refining Decolorizing Section Process Introduction:

Decolorizing section is a major part of palm oil mill process. Decolorizing section is mainly used to remove oil pigment, residual soap particles and metal ions. Under negative pressure, the mechanical mixing method combined with steam mixing will improve the decolorizing effect.

The degumming oil firstly enters into the heater to be heated to the appropriate temperature of 110 degrees Celsius, and then goes to the blenching earth mixing tank. The blenching earth is delivered from the low blenching box to the temporary tank by wind. The blenching earth is added by automatic metering and is interlockly with the oil.

The oil mixed with the blenching earth overflows into the continuous decolorizer, which is stirred by non-powered steam. The decolorized oil enters into the two alternate leaf filters to be filtered. Then the filtered oil enters the decolorized oil storage tank through the security filter.

The decolorized oil storage tank is designed as the vacuum tank with the nozzle inside, so as to prevent the decolorized oil contacting with air and influencing its peroxide value and color reversion.

Palm Oil Refining Deodorization Section

Palm Oil Refining Deodorization Section Introduction:

The qualified decolorized palm oil enters into the spiral plate heat exchanger to recover most of the heat, and next goes to high pressure steam heat exchanger to be heated to the process temperature of 240-260 degrees Celsius, and then enters the deodorizer tower. The upper layer of combined deodorization tower is the packing structure that is mainly used to remove the odor producing components such as free fatty acid (FFA). The bottom layer is the plate tower which is mainly for achieving the hot decolorizing effect and reducing the peroxide value of the oil to zero.

Crude palm oil from the deodorization tower enters into the heat exchanger to recover most of the heat and makes further heat exchange with crude palm oil, and then is cooled to 80-85 degrees Celsius through the cooler. Add the required antioxidant and flavor agent, and then cool the palm oil below 50 degrees Celsius and store it. The packing catcher separates such volatiles as FFA from the deodorizing system, and the separated liquid is FFA at low temperature of 60-75 degrees Celsius. When the liquid level in the temporary tank is too high, the oil will be sent to the FFA storage tank.
