Silica Pre-treatment: The incoming degummed or neutralized
oil is mixed with a special silica designed to adsorb soaps and
phospholipids (gums). The treated oil is dried and filtered (1st
Pass) through a bed of once used bleaching earth in one of the
Silica Pre-treatment eliminates Adsorbent Filters. The silica with adsorbed soap and gums is
need for water washing (in neutral- deposited on the filter bed. As the oil passes through the bed of
bleaching earth a large part of the color bodies in the oil

(mainly chlorophyll) is removed by the still active bleaching
tion and oil losses by up to 20%. earth.
Bleaching: The pre-bleached and filtered oil is slurried with
DoublePass Filtration reduces bleaching earth before entering the Bleacher where the earth
earth consumption and oil losses by adsorbs the residual color bodies and other impurities. Residual
up to 30%. moisture and air are minimized as well by applying vacuum.
The oil is filtered again (2nd Pass) in a second Adsorbent Fil-
ters where the earth containing impurities and color bodies etc.
is retained. The fully bleached oil is collected in the filtrate
receiver and cooled before going to intermediate storage. Alter-
natively, the hot filtered oil can be sent directly to deodorizing.
Filter Operation: The system is equipped with three filters that
are cycled so that while one is being used to separate bleaching
earth another is separating silica as described above. In the
meantime the spent silica and earth collected in the 3rd filter is
dislodged and removed from the filter screens, and the cleaned
Crown Iron Works filter pre-coated and readied for a new cycle. The cycling of the
filters is automated and triggered by either high pressure or
