What are the losses in the oil refining and deodorization process of edible oil plants?

Mondo Social Updated on 2024-02-29

In the oil refining and deodorization process of edible oil plant, there may be some of the following losses:

1.Volatilization loss: During the deodorization process, the low-boiling components in the oil (such as odor substances) will volatilize off under high temperature and vacuum conditions, resulting in a certain amount of oil loss.

2.Thermal decomposition loss: At high temperatures, the oil may partially decompose, producing some volatile substances, resulting in a certain amount of oil loss.

3.Adsorption loss: Adsorbents (such as activated carbon) may be used to remove odorous substances during the deodorization process, and the adsorbent will adsorb part of the grease, resulting in a certain amount of grease loss.

4.Mechanical loss: During the operation of refining equipment, a small amount of grease may be lost due to friction, leakage, etc.

In order to reduce wastage, edible oil mills can take the following measures:

1.Optimize process parameters: Reasonably control process parameters such as deodorization temperature, vacuum and time to reduce volatilization and thermal decomposition losses.

2.Choose the right adsorbent: choose a high-efficiency adsorbent and reasonably control its use to reduce the adsorption loss.

3.Equipment maintenance and management: Regularly maintain and inspect the refining equipment to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and reduce mechanical loss.

4.Quality control: Through strict quality control measures, the quality of raw materials and refined oil products is ensured, and unnecessary losses are reduced.

It is important to note that different oil refining processes and equipment may have different wear and tear conditions. In addition, reasonable losses are an inevitable part of the refining process, but by optimizing the process and management, the losses can be controlled within a reasonable range and the refining efficiency and economic benefits of oils and fats can be improved. At the same time, edible oil mills also need to comply with relevant regulations and standards to ensure the quality and safety of refined oil. If you have more detailed questions about the specific oil refining process or loss situation, it is recommended to consult a professional oil and fat engineer or an expert in the field.
