Continous Physical Refinery

Continous Physical Refinery

The system is designed to fully refine, i.e. pre treat, bleach, strip and deodorize Palm olein. In the Pre Treatment section phosphoric acid is added to crude oil, which reacts with the gums present in oil. The Bleaching System is based on treatment with bleaching earth followed by filtration. The process design is illustrated on the attached drawing. The High Efficiency Deodorizing System can be used for deodorizing of neutralized oils as well as stripping and deodorizing of high FFA oils as part of physical refining. The process design is illustrated on the attached drawings.

MERITS OF CONTINUOUS PHYSICAL REFINERY

1. Continuous bleacher with vacuum-sealed bleaching earth dosing arrangement is provided for a very quick and efficient bleaching of the oil.

2. Adequate Plate Heat Exchangers and other heat exchangers are provided to enhance maximum heat recuperation of the out going oil form the deodoriser and thus reduces the steam consumption to a barest minimum.

3. An additional heat exchanger is provided to reccupe the heat of out going thermic fluid for the feed oil to the stripper and thus reduce the total heat load on the stripper.

4. Vertical packed type D.O. ensures efficient deodorisation of the oil with minimum steam consumption.

5. 4 Stage Mazda make high vacuum equipment is provided to have suitable vacuum (3 torr) for the process.

6. Three stages of filtration of the oil are provided before reaching to the final holding tank to assure the best quality of the refined oil.

7. Plate and frame type heat exchangers are mostly used for less space consumption, less maintenance, and efficient heat transfer.

8. Complete automation is provided to assure continuity of the process and less manpower requirement.

9. The complete plant layout and equipments are designed and arranged for better space utilization, operator friendly and less man power requirement.
