Fat Splitting

CCI has built several plants for the thermal pressure splitting of oils and fats with water into Fatty Acid and Glycerine.  It is a simple, economic process and does not pollute the environment.  Some highlights of the process are –

• This is a Single Tower Design
• Our splitter works at the modern pressures of 63 barg rather than 30 barg which is used in older technology systems.  This has a direct impact on the splitting degree and oil losses which goes up from the old maximum of 95% to 99% within our system.
• The splitter design has internal heat exchangers for heat recovery of outgoing streams.
• Distributors are placed strategically that redistribute the two phases that allow us to achieve this level of splitting efficiently. 
• The splitter volume allows for 4 hours of residence time in order to fully complete the splitting.
• This section in our plant includes Pre-Concentrators to recover heat from the Flash Steam so that the sweet concentration from the process is in the range of 26–30% rather than the 10–11% that is obtained in older technology systems.  Furthermore, the Pre-heat is also recovered from the outgoing products.

Plant Capacity Range – 30 TPD to 1000 TPD
