What is the refinery ?
Refinery removes NATURAL COLOR, NATURAL SMELL / ODOR and FFA (Free Fatty Acids) contains in the crude / raw oil. Final product of refinery is TRANSPARENT COOKING OIL. 

VIKAS edible oil refinery is ideally suitable to refine any kind of vegetable / edible oil such as peanut / groundnut oil, sesame oil, copra oil, linseed oil, sunflower oil, castor seed oil, cotton seed oil, palm kernel oil etc.

We have series of oil refinery 5 TPD, 10 TPD, 15 TPD, 30 TPD or more.

TPD = Tones Per Day

----:: EQUIPMENT OF EDIBLE OIL REFINERY CONSISTS ::----

• Neutralizers

• Bleacher

• Deodorizer

• Steam / Thermic fluid boiler

• Filter presses

• Condenser tower

• Complete steel structure

----:: SPECIFICATION OF EDIBLE OIL REFINERY ::----

• All the main vessels i.e. two neutralizers, one bleacher and one deodorizer are properly arranged on steel structure. So all these vessels are hanging on the steel structure. Just below the two neutralizers, two soap pans are resting on the ground floor in which soap stock is collected. There is a steam pipe arrangement in the soap pans also.

• There are columns of double channel which supports the entire steel structure. It has proper staircase and railing on all the sides of steel structure and also on staircase. Filter press is also accommodated on the upper floor of the steel structure.

• Two oil tanks i.e. raw oil tank and bleached oil tank are accommodated under the structure on the ground floor. Then cooler, thermic fluid boiler, steam generators, vacuum pump, water pumps, oil pumps and refined oil tank are arranged on the ground floor around the steel structure i.e. outside the steel structure.

• Condenser tower is erected just near the deodorizer and its complete structure is supported from the ground floor and also it is attached with the refinery structure. Barometric condenser is arranged at 40ft. height to create proper vacuum.

• All types of pipelines are interconnected as per the requirement of the refinery i.e. oil pipelines, vacuum pipelines, steam pipelines, water pipelines, thermic fluid pipelines. At all appropriate places, proper valves are provided in the pipelines.

• Neutralizer is provided with thermic fluid coil for heating the oil.

• Bleacher is provided with double pipe coil. One is for thermic fluid and another is for cooling water.

• Deodorizer is provided with double pipe coil i.e. in both the coils, thermic fluid is circulated. Steam is ejected from the stainless nozzles provided on the steam pipe cross supported at the bottom.

• Cooler is provided with double pipe coil. Both for cooling water.

• In every vessel temperature gauge is provided. Vacuum gauge is provided on deodorizer, bleacher and cooler.

• Neutralizer is open on the top having conical bottom. Bleacher has dished ends on both the sides. Similarly deodorizer has dished ends on both the sides. Cooler has also dished ends on both the sides.
