  • How do you refine crude soybean oil?
  • Raw or crude soybean oil is first mixed with water and phosphoric acid through a calibrated dosing pump at a slightly elevated temperature, resulting in precipitation of the gums or phospholipids. This mixture is then passed through a high-speed centrifuge to separate the precipitated gums from the soybean oil.
  • Is oil refining a batch process?
  • A batch type oil refinery plant is the most widely used system to refine different oils. This type of refining process is generally used for smaller capacity plants ranging from 3 Tons Per Day to 30 Tons Per Day. The batch oil refining system is preferred because it is low cost and quite easy to operate.
  • What is the refining process of crude vegetable oil?
  • Refining crude oil into edible oil requires deep process knowledge from degumming, neutralization and dewaxing through to bleaching, deodorizing and GE and 3-MCPD mitigation. Edible oil producers worldwide rely on Alfa Laval knowhow to remove impurities and volatile components and optimize refining processes.
  • How is crude soybean oil processed?
  • It involves the treatment of crude soybean oil with water to make it free from gums, phospholipids, and other impurities. These unwanted components form emulsions with water which you can separate through mechanical means like centrifugation, producing degummed oil. After degumming, the oil undergoes neutralization.
