Hydrogenation & Interesterification Plant

Product Description: Hydrogenation means adding hydrogen to a substance. Liquid vegetable oils that are unsaturated will react with hydrogen at about 60 �C in the presence of a nickel catalyst. The transition metal nickel is used in the hydrogenation of vegetable oils to make margarines and soft-spreads. Interesterification: In this process a catalyst (most often sodium methoxide), is added to a dry oil and the triglyceride exchange begins. This process occurs at high temperatures and creates three by-products (sodium soaps, fatty methyl esters and monoglycerides) in addition to the interesterified fats. We can design and supply any capacity Hydrogenation & Intersterification Plant customized based on Customer�s requirement.
