Mecpro receives the
National Award for innovation
in Science and Technology
from the President
The
plant offered is versatile and all types of fats, oils
and acid oils can be split. The plant consists of two
or three Autoclaves wherein the water and fat move in
counter ciurrent flow. 95% to 97% splitting and a glycerine
concentration in the sweet water of 6% to 16% can be achieved
in this plant depending on the quality of the raw material
processed.
This plant has the following advantages :
Ease of Installation
and operation
Low/No maintainence
Flexibility of operation
Raw materials should undergo treatment depending on the
quality and the end product desired. Good grade raw material
can be processed directly without treatment.
Raw material passes through the filter and is pumped to
the autoclave by a High Pressure Pump through a Heat Exchanger
where the temperature is brought close to the splitting
temperature. Process water collected in the Hot Water
Tank is sent to the autoclave by a High Pressure Water
Pump through a Water Heat Exchanger where the water at
a pressure of around 30kg per cm. sq. is brought to the
desired temperature.
Stearic acid is kept in molten condition at around 60°C
to 70°C in the Feed Tank from where by gravity it
is fed to the Flaker. Cooling water at 32 °C from
the cooling tower is circulated through the flaker to
keep it at a temperature below 40°C. Stearic acid
solidifies in the Drum which is kept in rotation and the
flakes are collected and bagged.
