Tiny Edible Oil Refinery

Capacity 5 tonnes per day i.e. 4 batches of 1250 kg. each. Features :

(1) All the main vessels i.e. two neutralizers, one bleacher and one deodourizer are properly arranged on the first floor of the steel structure. So all these vessels are hanging on the steel strucutre. 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.

(2) Steel structure has size of 14ft. x 14ft. (i.e. 4.25mtr. x 4.25mtr). First floor is 9ft. above the ground level. There are 8 coloumns of double chanel which supports the entire steel structure. It has proper staircase and railing on all the sides of steel structure at the first floor and also on staircase. Two filter presses are also accomodated on the first floor of the steel structure.

(3) Two oil tanks i.e. raw oil tank and bleached oil tank are accomodated under the strucutre on the ground floor. Then cooler, thermic fluid boiler, two 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 square of 14ft. x 14ft. of the steel structure. So total space occupied is about 30ft. × 30ft. (9mtr. x 9mtr.)

(4) 40ft. tower is erected just near the deodourizer and its complete structure is supported from the ground floor and also it is attached with the refinery structure. Berometric condenser is arranged at 40 ft. height to create proper vacuum.

(5) All types of piplines are interconnected as per the requirement of the refinery i.e. oil pipelines (yellow colour), vacuum pipelines (blue colour), steam pipelines (black colour), water pipelines (white colour), thermic fluid pipelines (red colour). At all appropriate places, proper valves are provided in the pipelines.

(6) Neutralizer is provided with thermic fluid coil for heating the oil.

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

(8) Deodourizer 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.

(9) Cooler is provided with double pipe coil. Both for cooling water.

(10) In every vessel temperature guage is provided. Vacuum guage is provided on deodourizer, bleacher and cooler.

(11) Neutralizer is open on the top having conical bottom.

(12) Bleacher has dished ends on both the sides. Similarly deodourizer has dished ends on both the sides. Cooler has also dished ends on both the sides.
