  • How does edible oil refinery work?
  • The edible oil refinery plant receives crude oil after it has been obtained. This stage is critical for refining the oil to meet food-grade standards. Equipment for refining includes deacidifies, deodorizers, and bleaching machines. These remove impurities, free fatty acids, and undesirable flavors from the oil, ensuring it is safe for consumption.
  • What technology is used in edible oil refining?
  • Supercritical CO2 processing is one technology that has been successfully tested for use in the refining of edible oils, including degumming of crude soybean oil (List et al., 1993), deacidification of rice bran oil (Dunford & King, 2001), and mild refining of palm oil (Ooi, 1996).
  • Why is the edible oil refining industry expanding?
  • The edible oil refining industry is expanding due to the need to refine most vegetable oils for edible or technical applications. Increased production volumes have resulted in a serious expansion, with an estimated required refining capacity of 400 000 tonnes per day.
  • Can edible oil refining be used on industrial scale?
  • Although the potential advantages of edible oil refining are well described in the literature (Dayton & Galhardo, 2008; Gramatikova et al., 2011), it is still rarely applied on an industrial scale.
  • Can short-path distillation be used in edible oil refining?
  • Short-path distillation has limited applications in edible oil refining. It was introduced on an industrial scale at the end of the 1990s for the production of red palm oil, but due to high investment and operating costs, it never became widely implemented.
  • How does Alfa Laval refine crude oil into edible 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.
