Which refining stages do you need
Not every market needs fully refined oil. Degumming and neutralizing remove gums and free fatty acids for stability; bleaching lightens color; deodorizing strips odor for neutral-tasting retail oil. Buyers selling to supermarkets or exporters need the full chain; local market oil often needs only the first two stages.
Key parameters to define
- Crude oil type and its FFA and gum levels.
- Target product standard for your market or buyer.
- Batch size: typical small lines run 1–30 tonnes per day.
- Utilities available: steam source, water, power.
- Whether deodorizing is required now or added later.
Typical configuration ranges
| Stage | Function | Indicative scale |
|---|---|---|
| Degumming / neutralizing | Remove gums and free fatty acids | Batch tanks, 1–30 TPD |
| Bleaching | Clay treatment for color | Matched to batch size |
| Deodorizing | Steam stripping of odors | By product standard |
| Utilities | Boiler, vacuum, cooling | Scope per quotation |
Ranges are indicative. Refinery design follows crude oil analysis and product standard.
What a quotation should clarify
| Quotation area | Questions to record |
|---|---|
| Basis | What crude oil analysis is the design based on? |
| Stages | Which stages are included now, and how is expansion handled? |
| Loss | Expected neutral oil loss through the process? |
| Utilities | Boiler, vacuum pump and water treatment scope? |
| Compliance | Can output meet your national edible oil standard? |
