Various processes are known for the manufacture offish meal and fish oil.Those more or less complex processes, which treat various types of oil-yielding fish such as sardines, anchovies and herrings depending on the countries, generally consist in the cooking the raw materials and then in transferring the cooked product into a decanter in order to remove the water, then the water is treated in order to recover oils using a disc separator. The solid materials are dried and constitute fish meal used, for example, in animal feed.

Separators and fuel conditioning equipment are part of a key balance onboard of a ship. Not only do they protect your valuable engine, they help you utilize the full potential of the oils you work with.

By removing particles and impurities, centrifugal separators leave whats essential: energy-rich fuel or clean and protective lubricant. Treatment and Conditioning of Fuel Oil Diesel engines on ships are driven by diesel or heavy fuel oils which are frequently contaminated with water and solids. To enable the engines to work with the minimum wear possible, these oils have to undergo continuous treatment.

Hutchison Hayes Separators are able to remove water and unwanted solids reliably and efficiently from the fuel oil, even under the most extreme conditions at sea. This provides reliable protection for important engine components such as cylinder liners, pistons, piston rings or the injection system.

Under ordinary treatment conditions, we recommend the single-stage treatment of diesel or heavy fuel oils by means of a Separator. At the heart of each separator system is the HH control system. This is a system which is designed for unmanned i.e. unsupervised operation.

Vertical centrifuges are used in many stages of the refining process ofedible oilsthat include soybeans, olives, coconuts, corn, peanuts, sunflower seeds, cotton seeds, sesame seeds, flax seeds and safflower seeds.

Our separators are used in water refining, usually called degumming, consisting of treating the natural oil with a small amount of water, followed by centrifugal separation. Chemical refining follows the water degumming process, in which, acid and caustic are used to neutralize the free fatty acids (soap stock) which then can be reliably removed through our centrifuge. Vertical centrifuges improve product quality, by removing gums and soap stock during production, which contribute to our customers profitability.
