Chemical Refining
Delivering Cleaner, High-Quality & Stable Edible Oils
Chemical refining is a versatile and widely used method for removing impurities from edible oils, ensuring higher purity, improved stability, and consistent quality. At Agroprocess Oil Tech Solutions, our chemical refining plants are designed with advanced engineering, smart automation, and eco-friendly practices to deliver edible oils that meet global food safety and quality standards. By using precise alkali treatment, bleaching, and deodorization steps, we help producers achieve efficient refining, nutrient retention, and excellent oil stability.
Key Stages in Chemical Refining
The chemical refining process is carried out through carefully controlled steps to ensure clean, neutral, and premium-quality edible oil:
Degumming & Neutralization
Removes phospholipids, free fatty acids (FFA), and other impurities to improve oil stability, prevent dark coloration, and enhance refined oil quality.
Alkali Treatment
Neutralizes FFA and removes calcium, magnesium, and other trace metals, correcting imperfections from previous processing stages.
Bleaching
Eliminates color pigments, dirt, trace metals, and residual phospholipids, producing clear, light-colored oil through selective chemical and physical treatment.
Deodorization
Uses vacuum steam stripping to remove odors, off-flavors, and volatile compounds, yielding neutral, odor-free oil.
Pre-Heating
Oil is gradually heated to optimize chemical reactions and improve refining efficiency.
Reaction Control
Precise monitoring ensures complete neutralization while preserving oil quality and natural nutrients.
Vacuum & Thermal Management
Maintains optimal conditions to prevent oxidation and preserve bioactive compounds during refining.
Final Polishing & Cooling
Refined oil is cooled and stabilized, ready for packaging or further processing.
