Edible Oil Refining Efficiency Solution

For independent refineries with real refining lines processing imported crude oil, focused on lowering residual phosphorus, filtration pressure drop and bleaching-earth consumption — a more cost-effective, stable refining combination.

Replace single-price comparison with a combined approach.
Edible oil refining: crude versus refined oil with silica adsorbent filtration
Silica adsorbents in edible-oil refining — removing phospholipids and trace soaps to cut bleaching-earth use and lower filtration pressure, turning crude oil into clear refined oil.

Core value

  • Help refineries lower residual phosphorus and improve desoaping while easing filtration pressure drop and oil-in-cake issues.
  • Provide more stable refining performance and clearer process control when crude-oil quality fluctuates.
  • Balance refining performance and overall cost reduction with a silica-gel + bleaching-earth combined approach, not single-price comparison.

On CS-OE550, a high BET surface area of 400–600 m²/g (ISO 9277) with oil absorption 180–260 g/100g supports phospholipid and soap adsorption in degumming and filtration.

Who it's for

  • Refineries running the full degumming, deacidification, bleaching and deodorization process.
  • Independent refineries processing imported palm, soybean and rapeseed crude oil.
  • Plants where production, lab and procurement jointly make decisions.
