What equipment do I need for a palm oil refinery plant? How do I select the palm oil refinery equipment?

Palm oil refining refers to the process of converting crude palm oil into refined palm oil. Palm oil refinery plant require specialized palm oil refinery equipment to carry out this process, ensuring efficient processing and high-quality output of refined palm oil. The following is a list of the basic palm oil refinery equipment required for a palm oil refinery plant, as well as how to select the palm oil refinery equipment.

What equipment do I need for a palm oil refinery plant?

1. Crude Palm Oil (CPO) Storage Tanks:

This equipment is used to store crude palm oil before it is refined. It is made of food grade materials to prevent contamination.

2. Palm Oil Degumming Equipment:

Palm oil degumming equipment mainly includes phosphoric acid tank, degumming tank, mixer, centrifuge, etc., by adding 85% or 75% food grade phosphoric acid to remove phospholipids and impurities in crude palm oil.

3. Palm Oil Deacidification Equipment:

Palm oil deacidification equipment mainly includes heaters, alkali agitators, neutralization tank, disc centrifugal separators, etc. By adding a certain concentration and amount of NaOH to them, an acid-base neutralization reaction is carried out to inhibit the increase of free fatty acids in crude palm oil.

4. Palm Oil Decolorization Equipment:

Palm oil decolorization equipment mainly includes decolorizing towers, clay mixing tanks, filter presses, etc. By adding white clay or activated carbon to them, palm oil is physically adsorbed to remove impurities such as pigments in palm oil, thereby improving the color and transparency of palm oil.

5. Palm Oil Deodorization Equipment:

Palm oil deodorization equipment mainly includes deodorizing tower, deodorizing tank and steam jet pump, etc. It removes the odor of palm oil by introducing a certain amount of superheated steam into the oil and then utilizing the different volatilization points of oil and odorous small molecules.

6. Cooling and Filtration System:

The cooling system includes heat exchangers or cooling tanks, which can be used to cool the refined palm oil before storage or packaging. The filtration system includes plate and frame filters, which can be used to remove impurities.

7. Refined Palm Oil Storage Tanks:

This equipment is used to store refined palm oil after refining. The refined oil needs to be stored at an appropriate temperature to avoid quality degradation and packaged in containers that meet hygiene standards.

8. Waste Treatment System:

The palm oil refinery plant produces a lot of waste, such as sludge, solid impurities, waste bleaching earth and palm oil plant wastewater. The waste treatment system can properly treat and reuse these wastes, thereby reducing environmental pollution and improving the efficiency of resource use.

How to select the palm oil refinery equipment?

1. Assess Processing Capacity:

Choose palm oil refining equipment with corresponding processing capacity according to the production scale of your palm oil refinery plant. Large-scale palm oil refinery plant may require palm oil refinery equipment with high automation and efficiency, while small and medium-scale palm oil refinery plant may need to consider palm oil refinery equipment with cost and higher benefits. In this regard, Henan Glory Company can provide you with three different palm oil refinery equipment according to your different processing capacity. They are 1-20tpd batch type palm oil refinery equipment, 20-50tpd semi continuous palm oil refinery equipment and 50-600tpd fully continuous palm oil refinery equipment. You can choose the palm oil refinery equipment suitable for your palm oil refinery plant according to your processing capacity.

2. Choose a Reputable Supplier:

Research and choose a reputable supplier with experience in palm oil refinery equipment. It is important to check reviews, testimonials and case studies of their palm oil refinery equipment to assess their reliability. In this regard, I recommend Henan Glory Company, which not only has many years of experience in manufacturing palm oil refinery equipment, but has also completed the construction of palm oil refinery plants required by customers overseas many times. In addition, the company also provides good after-sales service and technical support, and is committed to maintaining the normal operation of the palm oil refinery equipment and solving possible technical problems.

3. Pay Attention to Equipment Performance:

Palm oil refinery equipment materials, structural design and manufacturing technology will affect the quality and efficiency of palm oil refinery process. Choosing modern palm oil refinery equipment with energy-saving and automation functions can help reduce the operating costs of palm oil refinery plant and improve product quality.

4.Consider the Budget:

The cost required to choose palm oil refinery equipment is also one of the main concerns of users, but it can only be a reference factor. We cannot only look at the price and ignore the quality. Although it may be tempting to choose the cheapest option, investing in high-quality palm oil refinery equipment can bring better long-term returns. Otherwise, it will lead to the inability to guarantee later benefits, but will cause more losses.

In summary, choosing the right palm oil refinery equipment for your palm oil refinery plant is essential to ensure efficient processing and high-quality output. You can use above as a reference when choosing palm oil refinery equipment.
