Petrosen: Our ambition is to make Senegal an oil and gas giant
In 2022, Petrosen took a majority stake in Société Africaine de Raffinage, and now holds 93.5% of the refinery. Refining capacity recently increased from 1.2m to 1.5m tonnes per year and the plan is to start processing crude oil from the Sangomar field. It is estimated that the country needs to refine 3m tonnes per year to meet domestic demand.
This review presents recent technologies involved in vegetable oil refining as well as quality attributes of crude oils obtained by mechanical and solvent extraction. Usually, apart from virgin oils, crude oils cannot be consumed directly or incorporated into various food applications without technological treatments (refining). Indeed, crude oils like soybean, rapeseed, palm, corn,
Refining Vegetable Oils: Chemical and Physical Refining, PMC
Degumming is a crucial step in the refining process of vegetable oils . It allows the elimination of “gums” or “mucilage,” composed mainly of phospholipids from the crude oil as well as compounds such as carbohydrates, proteins, and trace of metals [9, 34]. Phospholipids or phosphatides are naturally present in oils.
Connect with us: December 18, 2020. Serigne Mboup, Director General of the Société Africaine de Raffinage (SAR), spoke to Africa Oil & Power about how the oldest refinery in West Africa has put together an ambitious extension plan to meet local demand requirements. Senegal will start producing crude oil from its offshore Sangomar field in 2023.

In physical refining of palm oil, the CPO is degummed by mixing with 0.04–0.1% phosphoric acid (conc. 85%) for about 5–20 min. Subsequently, the degummed oils were bleached using around 1–2% of bleaching earth under vacuum at a temperature of 95–120 °C. The spent bleaching earth is then separated via filtration.
As one of the step processes in the vegetable oil refinery process, during bleaching process, the original bleaching earth, as the most generally employed adsorbent, was added in the crude edible oil to eliminate the unwanted substances [5]. It can adsorb heavy metals, chlorophylls, carotenes, hydroperoxides, free fatty acids, and non-glyceride
Edible oil refining, Wikipedia
Edible oil refining. Edible oil refining is a set of processes or treatments necessary to turn vegetable raw oil into edible oil . Raw vegetable oil, obtained from seeds by pressing, solvent extraction, contains free fatty acids and other components such as phospholipids, waxes, peroxides, aldehydes, and ketones, which contribute to undesirable
The present study aims to shed more light on the use of membrane bioreactors (MBRs) for the treatment of vegetable oil refinery wastewaters (VORWs). A MBR was operated for 157 days in which it was fed with real VORW of varying composition at a range of organic loading rates (0.20 ± 0.05–3.79 ± 0.29 kg COD m−3 day−1). The hitherto unconsidered fate of VORW constituents through the
Analysis and simulation of an industrial vegetable oil
Abstract. This work focuses on the performance analysis of an industrial vegetable oil refinery. Using a commercial process simulator, a process model was developed and validated against actual vegetable oil refinery field data. The simulator allowed investigating both energy and safety aspects related to the presence of residual extraction
Crude vegetable oil is mainly composed by TAGs and also contains numerous nonedible compounds that need to be removed by a refining process prior to human consumption. The purpose of refining is a maximum reduction of non-TAG, retaining the maximum amount of TAG, natural antioxidants, and vitamins, and to maintain or improve the organoleptic
