Fatty Acid Distillation Tower

Product Details

The fatty acid distillation plant is a specialized piece of equipment used in the palm oil processing and other chemical processing industry. Its primary function is to distill fatty acids by heating them with high - pressure steam and removing different fractions in a vacuum environment. This process is essential for purifying fatty acids and separating them into various useful components.

Fatty Acid Distillation Tower Function and Working Method

The Fatty Acid Glycerol Distillation Tower operates by heating fatty acids using high - pressure steam. The steam provides the necessary thermal energy to raise the temperature of the fatty acids to around 260℃ . In a vacuum environment created within the tower, the boiling points of the fatty acid fractions are lowered, allowing them to vaporize at lower temperatures than under normal pressure. This enables the separation of different fractions based on their boiling points. The vaporized fractions are then condensed and collected separately, resulting in purified fatty acid components.

Fatty Acid Distillation Tower bMaterial and Construction

Constructed from 00Cr17Ni14Mo2 stainless steel, the Fatty Acid Distillation Tower combines excellent corrosion resistance with high - temperature strength. This material choice ensures that the tower can withstand the rigorous conditions of continuous operation, including exposure to high - temperature fatty acids and steam.
