Oil Clarification
• The expelled oil invariably contains a certain
quantity of ‘fines and foots’ that need to be
removed.
• The oil from the presses is drained to a reservoir. It
is then either pumped to a decanter or revolving
coarse screen to remove a large part of the solid
impurities.

Oil Clarification..

• The oil is then pumped to a filter press to remove


the remaining solids and fines in order to produce
clear oil prior to storage.
• The cakes discharged from the presses are
conveyed for bagging or bulk storage.
