- Deodorizing of Edible Oils and Fats
Multi-stage Deodorizing Column
Semi-countinuous deodorazing and deacidification
Deodorizing, the last stage of the

refining process, is in principle a
distillation process using steam as
a carrier to eliminate undesirable
odor and flavor substances from the
degummed or neutralized and
bleached oil in order to produce a
high-quality oil or fat.
Lurgi has been building deodorizing

plants for some 75 years and ist the
leader in developing plants to meet
the industrial demant for higher
capacities, improved economy and
best quality.

Continous deodorizing and deacidification with stripping column
Process principle
Degummed and bleached oil is first

preheated by means of heat transfer
through heating systems from hot
deodorized oil and is then brought to
final process temperature by indirect
high-pressure steam heating.
For deacidification of higher free fatty

acid contents, the stripping column serves
for short residence time at the higher
stripping temperature, while deodorizing
is accomplished at a reduced temperature

(intermediate heat exchange optional).
The oil is processed in the stripping

column in countercurrent to the vapors,
passing through the different deodorizing
stages before being cooled by internal
heat transfer in the last tray, where citric
acid is also added to the oil.
The common edible oils and fats are

deodorized at temperature ranging from
230–260 °C and at pressures ranging
from 3–5 mbar.
