• How does edible oil refining reduce production costs?
  • In edible oil refining, the continuous effort to reduce overall production costs is mainly achieved by increasing plant capacities, installation of mono feedstock plants, and increasing the degree of automation. Over the years, more energy-efficient processes and technologies, resulting in a higher refined oil yield, have gradually been introduced.
  • How does Alfa Laval refine crude oil into edible oil?
  • Refining crude oil into edible oil requires deep process knowledge¡ªfrom 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.
  • How can a utility process system help your edible oil refinery?
  • Last but not least, take advantages of our Utility Process Systems to further cutting operational costs in your edible oil refinery plants by reducing utility expenses ¨C whether power, process water, steam, fuel and/or cooling media.
  • What is refining in edible oil processing?
  • 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.
  • Why do oil processors need a ‘next-generation’ refining process?
  • The growing importance of the (nutritional) oil quality and the sustainability aspect of the refining process itself are new challenges for oil processors. To reach these new objectives, ¡°next-generation¡± oil refining process technologies have to be developed and implemented.
