Vegetable Oil Refinery Consultant & Process Engineering
Y&P Engineers provides vegetable oil refinery consultancy, process engineering, plant design, EPC, PMC and project execution support for vegetable oil processing and refining plants.
Vegetable Oil Refinery Consultancy
Y&P Engineers provides engineering and consulting support for vegetable oil refining projects, including new plants, plant expansions, process modifications and troubleshooting of existing refining facilities.
Our approach considers the characteristics of the crude oil, required product quality, refining route, plant capacity, utilities, equipment selection and downstream requirements before finalizing the process configuration.
Our Vegetable Oil Refinery Engineering Services
Process Engineering
Process flow development, material balance, process calculations and engineering support for vegetable oil refining plants.
Degumming
Engineering support for water and chemical degumming systems designed around crude oil characteristics and required oil quality.
Neutralization
Process engineering for free fatty acid reduction, caustic treatment, soap separation and associated process systems.
Bleaching
Engineering support for bleaching systems, adsorbent handling, filtration and oil quality improvement.
Deodorization
Process and equipment considerations for vacuum deodorization, stripping and removal of volatile compounds from refined oil.
EPC & PMC Support
Engineering, procurement and project management assistance for new refinery projects and plant modifications.
Vegetable Oil Refining Process
Vegetable oil refining generally involves a combination of processes selected according to the crude oil and final product requirements. Depending on the application, these may include degumming, neutralization, bleaching, filtration and deodorization.
The actual process sequence and operating conditions should be established from the characteristics of the feedstock, required product specification, plant capacity and available utilities.
Crude Oil Feedstock Evaluation
Different vegetable oils can have significantly different levels of phospholipids, free fatty acids, moisture, pigments, metals and other impurities. These characteristics influence the appropriate refining process and equipment configuration.
Y&P Engineers can assist in evaluating feedstock characteristics and translating them into practical process and equipment requirements.
