  • What is mixing in oil & gas industry?
  • Mixing is involved in every step of the oil industry from exploration to marketing products. While drilling oil and gas wells, drilling fluid is applied. The fluid consists of a mixture of clay and a stabilized water-in-oil emulsion. The emulsion is prepared batchwise by dispersing water in oil in agitated tanks.
  • What is chemical or alkaline refining?
  • In chemical or alkaline refining, an alkali is used to neutralise the FFA. Figure 1. Chemical and physical refining. Chemical refining is the traditional method used in past centuries. The main purpose of chemical refining is to saponify the FFA by an alkaline solution and dilute the resulting soaps in a water phase.
  • What is alkaline neutralisation?
  • Reaction Alkaline neutralisation involves the reaction of free fatty acids with an alkaline solution. In the edible oil industry almost only caustic soda is used for this reaction, but potassium hydroxide is also used by a few producers.
  • How is a miscella refining oil made?
  • The neutral oil is washed in order to further reduce the residual soap content. For this purpose, approximately 3 ¨C 10% of hot water is added to the oil, mixed in a dynamic mixer and separated into wash water and oil in a separator. The residual humidity of the oil is further reduced in a vacuum drier. 4.2. Miscella refining
