The document describes a process for producing dimer acid from vegetable and animal fats and oils. Key steps include: 1. Splitting fats and oils in a splitting column then distilling in two distillation columns to separate various fatty acid fractions like C8, C10, C12, C14, C16, and C18. 2. Heating the C18 fraction to produce oleic acid and saturated fatty acids using an autoclave. 3. Filtering and crystallizing the saturated fatty acids to produce a monomer acid, then heating to form dimer acid. 4. Further purifying the dimer acid through processes like centrifuging, filtering, and vacuum distillation.
