A simulation run allows to determine best processing scenario in terms outlet streams composition, oil yield and process conditions. The process model allows us to get a deep knowledge about what is talking place along the process, and to make process decisions. |
Complete phospholipid salts acid reactions (non hydratable to hydratable) are considered for each type of phospholipid including a given conversion degree adjusting acid solution required and its excess. Free fatty acids neutralization reactions are also considered for each specie (oleic acid, stearic acid, palmitic acid, etc) with caustic soda solution and a given percentage of dilution water. |
