Producing hydrotreated vegetable oil as an end product
With companies worldwide having to reduce their carbon emissions to reach net-zero targets, sustainability and renewable energy are high on most agendas right now.
But the problem most businesses are facing is how and what low-carbon alternatives to switch to.
One such alternative is Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO).

But before you can produce hydrotreated vegetable oil as an end product, first you need to understand the six-step refining process, which consists of:
| 1 | Crude oil filtration | to remove solids and strains following seed crushing and plastics from animal fat and frying oils |
| 2 | Dewaxing | to remove waxes |
| 3 | Degumming | to remove phospholipids |
| 4 | Neutralising | to remove free fatty acids |
| 5 | Bleaching | to remove colour |
| 6 | Deodorisation | to remove odour |
