Edible Oil Refinery Technology

FX-Deodorizer

The final step in oil refining, deodorization uses steam distillation under vacuum to remove Free Fatty Acids (FFA), volatile compounds (like aldehydes and ketones), and contaminants based on their volatility and vapor pressure. In Ferro’s Deodorising section includes the main FX-Deodorizer vessel, FX-Fatty Acid Scrubber, FX-Deaerator vessel, Thermic fluid heater system, Vacuum system, Steam PRS, Plate type heat exchangers, FX-Polish filter etc. along with various sub-parts like flowmeters, pumps, control valves, etc.


Key Objective:
  • Stripping of Volatile Components : Effectively removes FFA, ensuring the peroxide value is minimized and secondary oxidation products.
  • Oxidative Stability Enhancement: Improve shelf life by removing pro-oxidant compounds that accelerate oil degradation
  • Off-Flavour Removal: Eliminates undesirable odors and flavors.
  • Thermal Pigment Destruction: Prevents thermal damage and pigment degradation in the oil.
