Adsorption and filtration within oil refining
Bleaching earth for decolourisation of oils
Bleaching earth is used within refining processes for the decolourisation of different types of oils.
Within these processes, adsorption plays an important role in removing unwanted components and colourants from the oil.
Profiltra supplies acid-activated bleaching earth for applications where efficient and controlled decolourisation are important.
Adsorption and filtration in one process
Bleaching earth combines adsorption properties with filtration performance within the refining process.
The products offer properties such as:
- Excellent colour adsorption
- Chlorophyll adsorption
- Good filtration performance
- Low effect on FFA increase
These properties make the products suitable for different oil refining processes.
Process efficiency and available bleaching earth solutions
Efficient refining with lower consumption
Due to the high adsorption capacity, the consumption of bleaching earth can be reduced.
This can contribute to:
- Lower production costs
- Less oil loss
- Lower disposal costs of used bleaching earth
Available for different oil refining processes
Profiltra supplies, among others, Rafinol® 920 and Rafinol® 930 FF for applications within oil refining processes and for difficult-to-bleach oils.
