Monitoring the Degumming Step of Crude Oils
The implementation of a BUCHI NIR-Online® process sensor after the degumming step provides full quality control of degummed oil. Within milli-seconds, different parameters such as phosphorus, moisure or free fatty acids, are continuously, simultaneously, and accurately measured with NIR.
Composition of degummed oils in terms of residual phosphorus as well as other parameters are of critical importance for the optimization of the subsequent refining steps in order to obtain high quality edible oil as final product. With the installation of a BUCHI NIR-Online® process analyzer after the degumming step, the composition of the degummed oil is monitored and documented in a fast, simple, and reliable way. This results in precise and accurate measurements of relevant process parameters such as phosphorus, moisure, free fatty acids, peroxide value and acid value.
