Expertise »Vegetable Oil Refining
Tech Perfect offers complete design, manufacture, erection and commissioning of Vegetable Oil Refining Plants which are backed by our far-reaching know-how and capabilities in the field of vegetable oil refining and provide services to aid clients in solving their refining problems.

Refining of many different types of oil, including sunflower oil, crude as well as solvent extracted groundnut oil and cottonseed oil, rice bran oil, mustard oil, corn oil, palm oil, safflower oil, etc., as well as to Vanaspati is precisely accomplished by latest technologies adopted by Tech Perfect.
Process steps:
Oil Clarification to remove the fine foots present in high proportion in the oil leaving from the oil milling plants
Acid / Water Degumming by treatment of the gums with acid and hot water followed by continuous removal of the hydrated gums to avoid the reversion of taste and colour during subsequent refining steps
Neutralization consisting of caustic refining and re-refining (as per requirement) first water washing stage, second water washing stage and vacuum drying with the separation of neutral oil from soap stock as well as wash water in the refining and washing steps. Neutralization is crucial for all crude vegetable oils which are to be refined for human consumption needing the removal of free fatty acids, aluminous and mucilaginous matter and thereafter washing to reduce the soap content of neutral oil to produce a more stable product
Bleaching to remove the colour bodies and small traces of soap still remaining in the neutral, washed and dried Vegetable Oil, preferably under vacuum to prevent oil oxidation
Deodorization involving extremely specialised type of steam distillation under high vacuum to remove unwanted volatile components such as aldehydes, ketone and alcohols
Fat Splitting or hydrolysis wherein vegetable or animal fats are split into fatty acid and glycerine by addition of water
Fatty Acid Distillation to obtain finest quality fatty acids which are free from odours and low molecular weight components and minimum colour contaminants
Glycerine Distillation involving distillation of Glycerine - Water mixtures ensuring separation of glycerine distillates of the highest purity

Each critical process step in oil refining of vegetable oils of which quite many are used as edible oils is carefully analysed and meticulously engineered at Tech Perfect ensuring desired process, equipment and plant performance.

Vegetable oil refining process plants offered by Tech Perfect are easy to operate and require very little space.
