Complete Palm Oil Refinery Equipment List
Our palm oil refinery equipment covers key refining stages and can be customized for oil quality, capacity, final standards, and factory layout.
Crude Oil Handling Section
Receive, transfer, cool, and store palm oil before and after refining. This section helps maintain stable oil flow and supports smooth operation throughout the refinery line.
Required Equipment
- Transfer Pump
- Oil Pump
- Cooler
- Finished Oil Tank
- Finished Oil Pump
Transfer Pump
Transfers crude or processed palm oil between tanks and refinery sections with stable flow and reliable operation.
Cooler
Reduces oil temperature after processing, helping prepare the oil for storage, transfer, or the next production stage.
Finished Oil Tank
Stores refined palm oil safely before filling, packaging, or bulk delivery, supporting stable finished oil handling.
Degumming and Deacidification Section
Remove gums, free fatty acids, soapstock, moisture, and impurities from crude palm oil. This section improves oil stability and prepares the oil for bleaching.
Required Equipment
- Alkali Solution and Hot Water Tank
- Soap Foot Pot
- Soap Foot Pump
- Oil Refining Pot
- Oil-water Separator
Oil Refining Pot
Used for degumming and alkali refining to remove gums, free fatty acids, moisture, and unwanted impurities from crude palm oil.
Alkali Solution and Hot Water Tank
Provides alkali solution and hot water for neutralization, washing, and stable refining process control.
Oil-water Separator
Separates oil, water, and soapstock after refining, helping improve oil purity before the bleaching stage.
Bleaching Section
Remove pigments, residual soap, oxidation products, and fine impurities from palm oil. This section helps improve oil color, clarity, and final product quality.
Required Equipment
- Decolorizing Oil Pump
- Clean Oil Sludge Tank
- White Clay Pot
- Decolorization Tank
- Leaf Filter
- Bag Filter
- Water Ring Vacuum Pump
Decolorization Tank
Mixes palm oil with bleaching clay to remove pigments, residual soap, oxidation products, and fine impurities.
White Clay Pot
Stores and feeds bleaching clay into the decolorization process for stable color removal and oil clarification.
Leaf Filter
Filters spent bleaching clay and suspended particles, helping produce cleaner and brighter refined palm oil.
Deodorization Section
Remove odor, volatile compounds, moisture, and residual free fatty acids under heating and vacuum conditions. This section is key for producing refined palm oil with better taste, smell, and stability.
Required Equipment
- Deodorizing Oil Pump
- Thermal Oil Heater
- Deodorization Tank
- Liquid Droplet Trap
- Collection Tank
- Air Cooler
- Water Ring Roots Vacuum Unit
- Superheated Heater
- Steam Distribution Drum
- Cooling Tower System
Decolorization Tank
Removes odor, volatile compounds, moisture, and residual FFA under high temperature and vacuum conditions.
Thermal Oil Heater
Provides stable heating for deodorization, helping maintain accurate process temperature and consistent oil quality.
Water Ring Roots Vacuum Unit
Creates a strong vacuum environment for deodorization, improving odor removal and refining efficiency.
Automatic Control & Utility Section
Support refinery operation with air supply, water supply, cooling, and utility equipment. This section helps keep the whole refining line running safely and continuously.
Required Equipment
- Gas Storage Tank
- Air Compressor
- Water Supply Pump
- Water Tank
Air Compressor
Provides compressed air for pneumatic valves and auxiliary equipment, supporting stable refinery line operation.
Gas Storage Tank
Stores compressed air and helps maintain stable air pressure for pneumatic control components.
Water Supply Pump
Delivers process water fo r cooling, cleaning, and utility support throughout the palm oil refinery line.
Types of Refining Process
Batch Refinery
