Ma ority or the crude oll ootalned trom pressing or solvent extraction contains Impurites and these are to be removed to make the oil suitable for human consumption.
Depending on the type of oil, the prearation of seeds and extraction process used, vegetable oil contains various impurities like:
Due to the high percentage of Free Fatty Acids (FFA) in Palm Oil, it needs to be treated differently, hence Palm Oil is Physically refined.
Veendeep’s most modern refinery is used for capacities ranging from 30 TPD to 1000 TPD.
Crude Palm Oil contains phosohatides. To remove these the crude oil needs to be pre-treated by adding Phosphoric acid.
Pre-treated oil is then mixed with bleaching earth and pumped through the Bleaching Plant. The main purpose of bleaching is to remove coloring maters by absorption to obtain
desired color and remove traces or metals and pigments.
Deacidification (Deodorizing) is the final stage in Physical refining process and is used to
free the bleached oil from free fatty acids
Bleached oil is deaerated and then heated to deodorizing temperature by high pressure
steam
Fractionation is a physical modification process wherein vegetable oil like palm oil is separated into fractions or olein and stearin by the crystallization properties of oils.
Veendeep has adopted and developed the dry fractionation process operating batch-wise, as opposed to centrifugal separation. This process has no harmful chemical additives, no contamination of oil, produces no effluents, and has no oil loss. The dry fractionation process can be broadly classified into Crystallization Process and Filtration Process.
