Fat Distillation/ fractional

Removal of low & High Boiling Components from Fatty Acids.

Distillation

Distillation Process makes Use of the difference in boiling points between the desired fatty acids and the impurities, to effect of separation to these components. Crude fatty acids produced from fats splitting process are purified by distillation, and can be separated further into individual fatty acid by fractional distillation. Fatty acid distillation carried out under reduced pressure (vacuum) and lowest possible temperature to ensure product stability. in the distillation, the fatty acids are vaporized and then condensed, leaving the high-boiling impurities (residue) in the distillation still. The condensed fatty acids distillate is known as “whole out” because fatty acids regardless of the chain lengths present in the feedstock will be condensed and collected as fatty acid distillate.
