Palm Oil Refinery and Fractionation Plant | Complete Guide

Palm oil refinery is an essential process for a complete palm oil mill plant because there are still some impurities such as phospholipids, FFA, pigment, odor,etc. in the crude palm oil. We are a professional palm oil refinery manufacturer who is devoted to processing pure edible oil for worldwide customers. We can provide professional technical support and first class palm oil refinery plant and other palm oil machine for customers.

Palm oil refinery plant:

Palm oil refinery plant in palm oil mill processing plant mainly used to refine crude palm oil and get high quality palm oil.

☞Palm oil degumming process ☞Palm oil deacidification process
☞Palm oil decolorizing process ☞Palm oil deodorization process

Palm oil refinery process:

1. Degumming: pumping crude oil into oil refining tank, stirring quickly, and simultaneously heating by steam or heat-transfer oil(in plate pipes). Then the hot water is added for hydration and degumming.

2. Deacidification:alkali is added in the palm oil refining tank to remove the FFA. NaOH, not only used to neutralize free fatty acid, but also can act with other materials in oil , like, protein, mucilage, phospholipid, pigment, etc. All in all, alkali refining has the synthetic action of de-acid, degum, de-impurity.

3. Decolorization: inhaling the definite quantity white clay into the oil by vacuum, then they are continue stirred and heated for 25mins. Then pumping the oil and clay mixture into vibrating filter to remove the waste clay, the decolorization is finished.

4. Deodorization: Pumping the decolorized palm oil to the deodorization pot or the deodorization tower, it’s begin to heat. Then the direct steam is added to take the odors away.

Main equipment in crude palm oil refining plant :

Heat Conduction Furnace: 1 set Offer enough thermo for the refining sections.

Steam Generator: 1 set Produce steam for the workshop

Refining Pot: 2 sets Remove the gum, phosphoric acid etc,

Decolorizing Pot: 1 set Remove the color from neutralized oil

Deodorizing Pot: 1 set Remove the solvent, smell, water from decolorized oil

Other Auxiliary Equipments: Hot water Tank, Bleaching earth Tank, Air compressor, pumps, filters, Valves, Electricity Control Cabinet, etc.

Different Types of palm oil refining plant:

Our company is specialized in palm oil refining machine. We can provide the palm oil refining machine from 1 ton to 1000 tons. In general, batch type palm oil refining machine is with capacity 1-20TPD; The semi-automatic palm oil refining machine is suggested with capacity from 20-50TPD; And continuous palm oil refining machine is used for capacity above 50TPD.

The advantages of different types palm oil refinery plant:

1) The price of the batch type palm oil refinery plant is cheapest among all of them. The continuous palm oil refinery plant is most experience. The semi-continous way is middle cost.

2) The oil yield rate of the continuous palm oil refinery plant is higher than the batch and semi-continuous oil refinery;

3) The area size of continuous palm oil refinery plant is larger than batch type palm oil refinery plant and semi-continuous palm oil refinery plant.

4) Continuous palm oil refinery plant have higher device configuration than batch type palm oil refinery plant and semi-continuous palm oil refinery plant.

5) No matter batch type palm oil refinery plant, semi-continuous palm oil refinery plant , continuous palm oil refinery plant all can refine various kinds of edible oil, such as soybean oil, peanu oil, sunflower oil, cottonseed oil, rapeseed oil, mustard oil, palm oil, palm kernel oil and so on.

Palm Oil Fractionation Plant

Dry Fractionation of RBD Palm Oil
Dry fractionation of RBD palm Oil also called dry fractionation of rbd(Refined, Bleached, and Deodorized) palm oil. The Henan Doing dry fractionation process is designed to separate palm oil into two fractions, Olein and Stearin, without the addition of chemicals or solvents. Same palm oil fractionation plant can be used for producing super olein and palm mid fraction of varying cloud point and melting point.

The dry fractionation process includes :

• Preheating the feed stock to give a homogenous mass with nil solids.
• Crystallisation under preset controlled conditions of temperature & agitation to form stable, uniform sized filterable crystals.
• Filtering on membrane press filter (or Rotary Drum Vacuum filter) to separate the solid/liquid fractions.
