Palm Oil & Oleochemical

Column packing, demisters and filter screens for palm oil refineries, fatty acid distillation, glycerine and biodiesel plants.

The challenge

What This Industry Needs

Palm oil refineries and oleochemical plants run many distillations under vacuum. Heat-sensitive products need a low pressure drop and short residence time, and the process needs equipment that resists fatty acids and steam.

DemisterAsia supplies column packing, liquid distributors, demisters and filter screens, made to the drawing or the process data of your plant.

Where Separation Is Needed

These are the places in Palm Oil & Oleochemical where our products do their work. The products themselves are shown below.

Fatty Acid and Oleochemical Distillation

Vacuum distillation columns separate fatty acids and fatty alcohols. Structured packing gives a high number of separation stages at a low pressure drop.

Edible Oil Refining

Deodorising and refining columns use packing and liquid distributors to bring vapour and liquid together.

Glycerine Evaporation

Evaporators and vacuum systems use demisters to keep liquid droplets out of the vapour.

Biodiesel and Methanol Recovery

Washing and recovery columns use random or structured packing to separate and recover methanol.

Gas Scrubbers and Boiler Plant

Scrubbers and absorption towers use random packing, with vane mist eliminators for dirty gas.

Filtration of Process Streams

Wedge wire screens and woven wire mesh hold back solids in process lines.
