Industrial oil bleaching process
Refining oils to remove impurities like residual gums and soap often poses a significant challenge in various industries. Efficient processing techniques are essential to minimize oil losses and reduce bleaching clay consumption in oil refining operations.
Optimizes purification and reduces clay consumption
The bleaching process by Crown Iron Works provides multiple bleaching methods using bleaching clay and special sorbents. It offers classic, DoublePass, and packed bed bleaching options. Classic bleaching mixes oil with bleaching clay, bleaches, and filters it. The DoublePass approach pre-bleaches oil with sorbents or clay, dries, and filters it. This reduces bleaching clay consumption and oil losses by processing the pre-bleached oil again in a clean filter. Packed bed bleaching filters oil through beds of fresh bleaching clay. Crown’s methods are applicable in various oil refining industries, ensuring minimal capital and operating costs while maximizing the bleaching clay performance.
