Deacidification
We believe in providing top quality workmanship and are so confident in our level of service that we back.
What is Deacidification
Deacidification is a crucial refining process in biodiesel production that reduces the free fatty acid (FFA) content in oils and fats. By employing a highly energy-efficient, low-temperature high vacuum tower, deacidification effectively lowers FFA levels to below 0.1%. This purification step ensures that the oil is suitable for efficient transesterification, leading to high-quality biodiesel.
Process
Process of Deacidification
-
Step 1
Feedstock Preparation:
Input: Oils and fats with elevated free fatty acid (FFA) content are introduced into the deacidification system
-
Step 2
Deacidification:
Technology: The process utilizes a highly energy-efficient, low-temperature high vacuum distillation tower. Action: Under low-pressure conditions and elevated temperatures, the system removes free fatty acids from the oil. Result: FFA levels are reduced to below 0.1%, producing a highly purified oil
-
Step 3
Post-Processing
Preparation: The purified oil is prepared for the next stage of biodiesel production, ensuring it meets quality standards for transesterification.

Frequently Asked Questions
Discover some of the most asked questions regarding Deacidification.
What is the purpose of deacidification in biodiesel production?
Deacidification reduces the free fatty acid (FFA) content in oils and fats, which is crucial for ensuring the oil is suitable for efficient transesterification and high-quality biodiesel production.
How does the deacidification process work?
The process uses a low-temperature high vacuum distillation system to remove free fatty acids from the oil. This system operates under reduced pressure and controlled temperature to achieve FFA levels below 0.1%.
Why is it important to lower FFA levels below 0.1%?
Lowering FFA levels below 0.1% is necessary to prevent soap formation during transesterification, which can inhibit the reaction and affect biodiesel quality.
What are the benefits of using Muez-Hest deacidification technology?
Muez-Hest technology offers high energy efficiency and effective reduction of FFA levels, ensuring the production of high-quality biodiesel and optimal performance in the transesterification process.
Can the purified oil from deacidification be used for other applications?
While primarily designed for biodiesel production, the purified oil may also be suitable for other industrial applications requiring low FFA content and high purity.
