Oilseed
Maximize your oilseed processing operations without wasting energy.
Energy Efficient
Residual energy from the splitter discharge streams is used to flash moisture from those streams, reducing energy consumption
Fat Splitting Column
Equipment to help you reach nearly complete hydrolysis of neutral oil feed.
The Fat Splitting Column utilizes the classic Colgate-Emery process for nearly complete (over 98%) hydrolysis of neutral oil feed. The fat splitting column operates at 250 to 260 degrees Celsius and at pressures up to 50 bar-gauge. The high temperature and counter-current flow allow for a high degree of hydrolysis without catalysts. The residual energy from the splitter discharge streams is used to flash moisture from those streams, which reduces energy consumption in subsequent processing.
The splitting column offers a long retention time and its efficient internal heat exchange maximizes thermal efficiency. No catalysts are required, and splitting can be accomplished in a single column.
Key Features
- Generously sized equipment allows for variations in feedstock quality
- Automatic control of level, pressure and temperature process parameters
- Split fatty acids are discharged from the top of the column and concentrated in a flash vessel; these fatty acids can then be further purified with fatty acid distillation
- Sweetwater is discharged from the bottom of the column and concentrated in a flash vessel, which can then be further purified with various processes, including glycerin refining
