Waste Streams

Waste Streams from Edible Oil Mills

Every edible oil plant has different waste characteristics depending on the raw material, refining process, water usage and cleaning method. Sunrise recommends suitable transfer or pressing equipment according to your oil content, solids content, flow rate and recovery target.

Common feedstock includes:

Oily process residues from refining and washing
Oil sludge from tanks and process lines
Soapstock and gum residues
Press and filtration residues
Washdown residues containing oil and suspended solids
Mixed oil-rich process waste
Waste vegetable oil and recovered oil streams

Eco Rendering Goals

Edible Oil Mill Wastewater and Oil Sludge Recovery Goals

The goal is not only wastewater treatment, but resource recovery before disposal.

Residual Oil Recovery

Recover residual vegetable oil from oily wastewater, oil sludge, soapstock and process residues.

Oil-Rich Residue Handling

Handle oil-rich residues more efficiently to support edible oil mill waste recovery.

Wastewater Load Reduction

Reduce oil content entering wastewater treatment and lower pressure on downstream systems.

Sludge Volume Reduction

Lower sludge volume and handling cost by removing recoverable oil and solids before disposal.

Improved Water Clarity

Improve material handling before downstream wastewater treatment through stable transfer and pressing support.

Lower Discharge Pressure

Reduce environmental discharge pressure by treating oily waste streams before final disposal.

Process

Typical Edible Oil Mill Wastewater Treatment Process

A typical edible oil mill waste handling setup may include collection, transfer pumping, heating or conditioning and pressing where applicable. Equipment selection can be adjusted for high-oil wastewater, high-solids sludge or mixed oil-rich streams.

Typical process flow:

Collection tank
Transfer pumping
Heating or conditioning
Pressing where applicable
Recovered oil collection
Solids discharge
Downstream treatment

Company Profile

Oil Recovery Benefits for Edible Oil Mills

Oily wastewater and oil sludge are not only environmental burdens. They often contain residual vegetable oil that can be recovered before the remaining water and solids enter downstream treatment.

By improving oil-rich residue handling at an earlier stage, edible oil mills can reduce wastewater load, improve plant cleanliness, recover usable oil where applicable and reduce the amount of unstable sludge that must be handled or disposed of.
