How Crude Palm Kernel Oil is Refined? What is the palm kernel oil refining process? Crude palm kernel oil should be refined for wide application in other industries. The basic refining process for crude palm kernel oil includes degumming, deacidification, decoloring, and deodoration. So, what’s the function of each process? What details should be paid more attentions? And, what’s the specific equipment it will used? ( You may be interested in: Palm kernel oil refining machine)
Main Steps of refining crude palm kernel oil: 1. Degumming is the first step in palm kernel oil refinery plant. In this step gums in crude oil are removed by hydration with the help of phosphoric acid. 2. In this step, free fatty acids are neutralized by using sodium hydroxide and convert them into soap. Additional impurities are also removed by adsorption on soap. 3. During bleaching process, unwanted pigments are adsorbed physically and oil will become much clearer. 4. Deodorization machine is used to remove unacceptable odors by steam distillation during palm kernel oil refinery plant, the odoriferous compound are stripped off with the help of live injected steam into heated oil under high vacuum pressure.
