Oils and fats

Both the refining and regeneration of oils, as well as the melting of animal fats, require industrial heating systems that guarantee the quality and good preservation of the final product.

The refining of oils of either mineral or vegetable origin goes through different phases, some of which require high temperature thermal treatment.

During the deodorisation, fractionation and esterification of vegetable oils, the temperature of the oil needs to be increased in devices such as reactors, heat exchangers or deodorisers where the primary heat source is an industrial thermal oil heating system.

Also, the manufacture of lubricants or fuels such as biodiesel uses mineral oils and oil used from different sources as raw material.

These oils are also regenerated by thermal processes using thermal fluid circuits.

Animal fats are usually solid at room temperature. These fats are stored in large tanks with a thermal oil heating coil in the base to control the tank temperature and keep the product in a liquid state to be easily pumped and processed.

Pirobloc provides the solutions and technologies to carry out any of these processes with maximum efficiency and safety.
