Refining is the last step in edible oil processing. We are committed to making every drop of oil safe, healthy and nutritious. Value-adding by-products may be produced from processing stages like Degumming, Neutralization, Bleaching, Dewaxing/Winterization and Deodorization.
How do you refine crude oil into edible oil?
Refining crude oil into edible oil requires deep process knowledge—from degumming, neutralization and dewaxing to bleaching, deodorizing and GE and 3-MCPD mitigation. Looking for a trusted partner who understands your business, its challenges and its opportunities?
How does Alfa Laval refine crude oil into edible oil?
Refining crude oil into edible oil requires deep process knowledge—from degumming, neutralization and dewaxing through to bleaching, deodorizing and GE and 3-MCPD mitigation. Edible oil producers worldwide rely on Alfa Laval know-how to remove impurities and volatile components and optimize refining processes.
What is a Physical refining process?
The physical refining route removes only some impurities (mostly phosphatides, also known as phospholipids or gums) from the oil. Some oils, such as sunflower and corn, go through a dewaxing step to achieve the prescribed cold stability, that is, to be able to retain clarity at low temperature.
