Frequently Asked Question
What exactly does an edible oil refinery do?
An edible oil refinery cleans and processes crude vegetable oil (from sources like palm, soybean, sunflower, mustard, groundnut, etc.) to remove impurities, odour, colour and unwanted compounds — producing safe, clean cooking oil suitable for households, restaurants and industries.
What types of oils can be refined?
You can refine oils such as palm oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, mustard oil, groundnut oil, rice-bran oil, cottonseed oil, and more — choice depends on raw-material supply and market demand.
What plant setup and equipment are required?
Key requirements include crude-oil storage tanks, degumming & neutralization units, bleaching/filtering equipment, deodorization (and optionally dewaxing) systems, heat exchangers, boilers or steam systems, cooling & storage, and a quality-testing lab. For packaging and distribution you also need filling/packing machinery.
What regulatory or compliance approvals are necessary?
You’ll need food safety certifications (e.g. from regulatory authorities), licensing for manufacturing/processing, pollution control or environmental clearances (especially for effluent/waste disposal), and adherence to safety and hygiene norms.
