Vegetable Oil Refinery -Project Report -2
1 1.1
VEGETABLE OIL REFINERY Introduction
Vegetable oil and fat resources are indispensable to mankind as a source of nutrient and industrial raw materials. Crude vegetable oil obtained from various oil milling units is further refined before use for edible purposes. Refined edible oil is a process where free fatty acids are volatized, condensed and recovered simultaneously with vacuum de-colouring operation. Sometimes, refining process is limited to simple physical treatment such as heating and filtering in regard to refining of superior quality of crude oil. Generally the cake in the oil is separated by centrifuge, decolouring by active clay and steam deodorization at high temperature in vacuum up to 5 mm. Hg. 1.2 Objective
The primary objective of the model report is to facilitate the entrepreneurs in understanding the importance of setting up unit of vegetable oil refinery, technology and financial parameters of various components for preparation and submission of project proposal to bank for sanction of long term loan. This model report will serve as guidance to the entrepreneurs on starting up such a new project and basic technical knowledge for setting up such a facility 1.3 Raw Material Availability
The major raw materials required are crude groundnut oil, crude sesame oil and crude mustard oil. The state of MP has abundant production of crude as well as refined vegetable oils round the year. Thus procuring adequate quantity of crude oil will not be a bottleneck. Other materials like phosphoric acid, citric acid, bleaching powder etc would be available from the nearby trading centres. 1.4 Market Opportunities
The importance of edible refined vegetable oils has been appreciated and ambitious plan has been chalked out to increase production of edible refined vegetable oils, including soya bean oil, by the Government of India in the previous Five Year Plans. The demand for refined edible vegetable oils has increased in the consumer market. With
