Degassing Tower

Degassing Tower Function and Working Method

The Degassing Tower operates by heating the oil using steam, which reduces the oil's viscosity and increases the solubility of gases. The heated oil is then introduced into a vacuum space within the tower. The combination of heat and reduced pressure causes the dissolved gases in the oil to volatilize and escape. The vacuum system continuously removes these gases, ensuring efficient degassing. This process not only removes unwanted gases but also helps to eliminate and other volatile impurities, enhancing the overall quality of the oil.

Degassing Tower Material and Construction

Constructed from 0Cr18Ni9 stainless steel, the Degassing 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 steam and vegetable oils. The stainless steel construction also prevents contamination of the oil, maintaining its purity and quality throughout the degassing process.

Degassing Tower Key Features

• Working Method: The tower uses steam to heat the oil and a vacuum system to discharge gases, ensuring efficient removal of dissolved gases from the oil.

• Material: Made from 0Cr18Ni9 stainless steel, ensuring corrosion resistance and suitability for food - grade applications.

• Media: Designed to process vegetable oils and uses steam as the heating medium.

• Working Pressure: Operates at a vacuum pressure of -0.1 MPa, creating the necessary conditions for gas removal.

• Jacket Pressure: The steam jacket operates at a pressure of 0.3 MPa, providing sufficient heat for the oil.

• Working Temperature: The oil is heated to a working temperature of 110℃ , optimizing the degassing process.

• Jacket Temperature: The steam jacket reaches a temperature of 143℃ , ensuring efficient heat transfer to the oil.

• Equipment Size: The size of the tower is determined based on the required production capacity, ensuring efficient and scalable operation.

• Production Standard: Manufactured in compliance with GB150-1998 《Steel Pressure Vessels》, ensuring the equipment meets stringent safety and quality standards.

Degassing Tower Performance Advantages

• Efficient Degassing: The combination of steam heating and vacuum treatment ensures thorough removal of gases from the oil, improving its quality and stability.

• Durable Construction: The 0Cr18Ni9 stainless steel material ensures long - term reliability and resistance to corrosion and high - temperature conditions.

• Stable Operation: The tower is designed for stable and continuous operation, with precise control of temperature and pressure parameters.

• Energy - Efficient Heating: The steam jacket system ensures efficient heat transfer, minimizing energy consumption while maintaining optimal degassing conditions.

• Food - Grade Safety: The stainless steel construction and compliance with pressure vessel standards ensure the equipment is suitable for food - grade applications, meeting hygiene and safety requirements.

Degassing Tower Applications

The Degassing Tower is widely used in vegetable oil processing plants, particularly in the production of refined palm oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, and other edible oils. It is typically installed after the oil extraction and clarification stages and before further refining processes such as bleaching and deodorization. By removing dissolved gases and volatile impurities, the Degassing Tower helps to produce high - quality vegetable oils with improved flavor, color, and shelf - life. Its design and specifications make it suitable for integration into both new and existing vegetable oil processing facilities, enhancing their overall efficiency and product quality.
