Hydrogenation is the process to change the physical characteristics of natural fats and oils. Hydrogenation of vegetable oils/fatty acids involves the addition of hydrogen, in the presence of a Nickel catalyst, to the carbon-carbon double bonds present in the fatty acid chains. Salient features
- High degree of Automization to control flow, temperature and pressure in Autoclave ensures selective hydrogenation and excellent quality product.
- 100% reproducibility of product is ensured.
- Almost zero steam consumption for heating. Steam is needed only once for the first charge of oil while starting the plant operation. This is achieved with the most efficient design of oil to oil Heat Exchanger.
- Practically maintenance free due to low speed agitation system in Autoclave.
- Low power and catalyst consumption
