Refining Plant - High Vacuum Oil Refining System | Thermic Fluid Heating, Three-step Process, Odor Elimination

Refining oil have three basic processes in the refinery. First process is neutralizing the oil, which is then heated upto about 60i? C by thermic fluid coils. The soap stock is formed due to chemical reaction which allowed to settle at the bottom of the neutralizer.

The oil is drawn into the next vessel, where colour of oil is removed. The oil is generally heated upto 110i? C by thermic fluid coils.

The filter press separates the bleaching earth and chemicals. Oil is heated above 110i? C through thermic fluid coils and then live steam is given to the oil from the bottom steam nozzles and temperature of oil is raised through thermic fluid coils. Entire process is done under high vacuum. Thus smell is removed from the oil in the deodourizer.
