Degumming Process in Oil Refining Plant
The degumming process in an oil refining plant is to remove gum impurities in crude oil by physical or chemical methods, and it is an oil purification process. In the edible oil refining process, the most commonly used method is hydrated degumming, which can extract the hydratable phospholipids and some non-hydrate phospholipids, the remaining non-hydrate phospholipids need to be removed by acid refining degumming. Hydrated degumming is most commonly used in soybean, peanut, palm kernel, and sesame oil refining factories.
