Physical Refining
A distinct feature of LIPOCHEM's bleaching system is the use of steam agitation in the "zig-zag" bleacher. Specially designed steam spargers over a series of sloped trays ensure thorough mixing and prevent earth deposition and stagnant pockets thus reducing maintenance.
LIPOCHEM improves the technology of heating under vacuum by specially designing a final heater in the continuous deodorisation process. As we focus on energy conservation and product quality, we have incorporated efficient features such as double stage heat recovery of up to 80% and low consumption of sparging steam with efficient packed column. Use of the mammoth pump system will reduce extensive splash oil compared to conventional deodorisers.
LIPOCHEM's semi continuous deodorisation process offers the flexibility of multi-feedstock change. We have also enhanced the technology of heat recovery under vacuum by incorporating double thermal siphon and cooling under vacuum where antioxidant dosing is done under vacuum improves the stability of product.

Dry Fractionation Process
Multi products of various melting points and features demand a fractionation process that will be able to handle sharp cuts for liquid and solid fraction with crystallisation and filtration under low temperatures. LIPOCHEM not only offers the conventional fractionation process but is also capable to customise the plant according to customers' requirements.
Lipochem Palm Kernel Oil Fractionation System has incorporated new features transformed from the conventional PKO fractionation plant into a clean, modern, highly automated and cost-effective system.

3-MCPDE and GE Mitigation Process
European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) reported that most vegetable oils and fats contained 3-monochloro-propanediol esters (3-MCPDE) and glycidyl esters (GE) with the highest levels in palm oil, which are possibly carcinogenic to humans.
CPO washing is a proven technology for 3-MCPDE mitigation in palm oil to reduce the chloride content which is the precursor of the formation of 3-MCPDE. The current technology in GE mitigation by Lipochem is GE Reduction Reactor that can successfully produce low GE RBD palm oil. The maximum content of 3-MCPDE and GE in processed palm oil is 2.5 ppm and 1 ppm respectively.
