02 Semi Continuous Deodorizing

The document summarizes key aspects of a continuous deodorizing and deacidification plant for edible oils. The plant uses moderate thermal treatment under high vacuum to produce supreme quality deodorized oil with low acid content. It is highly efficient due to heat exchange and circulation systems. Options include an integrated stripping column to further reduce acid and minimize steam use for high acid oils. Standard capacities range from 100 to 1500 metric tons per day.

Continuous Deodorizing

and Deacidification Plant


Continuous Deodorizing - Highlights

 Moderate thermal treatment of the edible oil due to:


- high vacuum in the deodorizer

- heating of the degummed/bleached oil to deodorizing temperature


under vacuum

- heat exchange between degummed/bleached oil and deodorized oil


inside or outside the deodorizer under vacuum

 Supreme quality of the deodorized oil due to:


- extreme limitation of air access into the deodorizer

- dosing of citric acid in the oil under vacuum to lower the oxidation rate
of the deodorized oil
Continuous Deodorizing - Highlights

 High efficiency of the plant due to:


- high efficiency for heat-exchange and deodorizing in the deodorizer
through mammoth pump circulation systems

- heat recovery between the incoming and outgoing oil

- heat exchange study for the whole refinery plant (optional)

- low oil levels in the deodorizing stages of the deodorizer

 Minimizing of effluents:
- during physical refining no soapstock

- minimizing of waste water through condensing the free fatty acid


vapors in a vapor scrubber
Continuous Deodorizing - Highlights

 Option Stripping Column:


for oils with high free fatty acid contents, as separate or integrated unit
- moderate thermal treatment of the edible oil due to short residence
time under high temperatures in the stripping column

- supreme quality of the deodorized oil due to reduction of the formation


of trans-isomeres

- high efficiency of the plant due to reduction of live steam consumption


when processing oils with high free fatty acid contents
Continuous Deodorizing - Highlights

 Options II:
- automatic product change

- different vacuum generating concepts to minimize the amount of waste


water

- integration of the deodorizing and deacidification section in a complete


edible oil refinery in order to optimize the heat exchange and the plant
layout
