Oil refining line

Refining process selection

QIE GROUP offers a variety of flexible refining process routes for small soybean oil refineries in Argentina to meet the needs of different production scales, raw material qualities, and market positioning.

Chemical refining : For crude soybean oil with high acid values, QIE GROUP's small-scale soybean oil refining line in Argentina can employ chemical refining technology. This process involves adding an alkali solution (such as sodium hydroxide) to the crude oil to neutralize free fatty acids (FFA), generating soapstock, which is then separated by centrifuge. Although chemical refining produces a certain amount of soapstock and wastewater, it has a good treatment effect on high-acid-value crude oil, is suitable for small-tonnage refining production, and has relatively low investment and operating costs, making it suitable for some small to medium-sized soybean oil refineries in Argentina .

Physical refining : Physical refining relies on high-temperature steam provided by a high-pressure steam boiler to simultaneously remove FFA and odor substances through distillation in a high-vacuum deodorization tower. This process is more environmentally friendly and has lower refining losses, making it the mainstream choice for modern oilseed processing plants. For small-scale soybean oil refineries in Argentina that seek higher environmental standards and lower refining losses, QIE GROUP's solutions for small-scale soybean oil refineries in Argentina prioritize the physical refining route.

General refining process

Whether chemical or physical refining is used, QIE GROUP’s small-scale soybean oil refining line in Argentina includes a series of standardized refining processes to ensure that the final product meets high-quality standards.

Degumming : Phosphoric acid is added to soybean oil for degumming treatment, which effectively removes phospholipids and other pectin-soluble impurities, laying the foundation for subsequent refining processes and improving the overall refining effect.

Decolorization : Under vacuum conditions, activated clay is used to adsorb pigments and some impurities in oils, making the oil clearer and more transparent. Activated clay has a strong adsorption capacity and can significantly improve the appearance quality of oils.

Deodorization : Steam is introduced into the oil under high temperature and high vacuum environment for stripping distillation to remove off-odor substances and peroxides, thereby improving the smoke point, flavor stability and storage performance of soybean oil. This is a key process to ensure product quality.

Equipment selection and configuration

QIE GROUP has carefully configured core process equipment for small soybean oil refineries in Argentina to ensure efficient operation of the production line and stable product quality.

Pre-treatment equipment includes cleaning screens, destoners, magnetic separators, etc., used to remove impurities, stones and metal foreign objects from soybeans, ensuring the purity of raw materials, improving the efficiency of subsequent processing and reducing the risk of equipment wear.

Pressing Equipment : We offer screw oil presses of various specifications, allowing for flexible selection based on the actual capacity needs of small soybean oil refineries in Argentina . The performance of the oil press directly affects the oil yield and crude oil quality; QIE GROUP selects mature and stable models to ensure production efficiency.

Refining equipment : This includes key equipment such as degumming tanks, decolorizing towers, and deodorizing towers. It adopts advanced process design to support continuous refining production, improving overall production efficiency and product consistency. At the same time, the equipment possesses excellent operational stability and reliability, adapting to long-term industrial operation requirements.
