Vegetable Oils
Our Solutions to Improve Industrial Water Quality
Vegetable oils are a type of oil made from a variety of plants.
Using clean water is important to the vegetable oil industry as is important part of maintaining sanitation.
The most common methods for producing vegetable oils are conventional oil expellers and mechanical expellers. Water is used extensively in the production process, for tasks such as washing reactors and floors, and generating steam in boilers. Water is also used in the oil refining process.
Hach has decades of experience in designing water purification instruments to improve reliability and life cycle costs to ensure reputable source of clean water. Contact us today to find out how we can improve your water treatment system.
Water Management Solutions for The Vegetable Oil Industry
More vegetable oil industries are extensively implementing wastewater treatment methods to remove oil and other contaminants. This helps to protect our surface water and land resources and conform to effluent discharge standards set by regulatory agencies.
Contaminated water from vegetable oil production can be cleaned using a two-step process that includes activated sludge followed by electrocoagulation. This approach can be highly effective in restoring contaminated water to a pristine state.
Parameters relevant for wastewater management:
Hach provides adequate treatment solutions before discharge into inland surface water or for land use to conform effluent discharge standards prescribed by the regulatory agencies.

Instruments Used for Treating Effluent Water
The color of crude and refined vegetable oils is an important contributing factor to their market value. Hach portable colorimeter allows for quick and easy access to your most frequently used testing methods in less than four clicks. This colorimeter is waterproof, dustproof, shock resistant, and has been drop tested for greater quality assurance.
Our COD Digestion Vials (High Range) are used for determination of high range Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) by the Reactor Digestion method. Prepared COD reagents eliminate the need for measurement of corrosive and toxic chemicals.

Simplify BOD analysis with the BODTrak™II Respirometric BOD Apparatus. Results comparable to the dilution method can be achieved in only two to three days. Use these results for process control or as a complement to the dilution method The BODTrak II is a re-engineered version of the original Hach BODTrak. Improvements to the old system include greaseless bottle seals, a larger graphical display, improved stirring and temperature control, a smaller footprint, improved procedures with expanded options, an auto-switching power supply, and bottle fences to prevent tipping of bottles.
Treatment of Vegetable Oil Process & Utility Water
Biogas
Iron
E.coli
Vegetable oil is composed largely of glycendes of various saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, notably oleic and linoleic acids.
However, there are several impurities which must be removed from the oil before it can be considered fit for human consumption.
These impurities vary according to the type of oil, the geographic location of the source, the season, the way in which the oil has been stored and prepared and the way the oil has been extracted.
Most industrial processes generate waste streams that need to be treated or disposed of, and many companies face tough requirements. The ability to treat waste and reduce the amount for disposal is therefore, key to operate and to extend capacity. Hach provides a wide range of solutions for on-site treatment of water and wastewater and products for the process.

The 2100Q portable turbidimeter provides accurate measurements for difficult to measure, rapidly settling samples.
With your daily routine of water analysis in mind the DR3900 spectrophotometer is optimised for safe processes and meaningful reports. Control-parameters like Ammonium, COD, Phosphate, Nitrogen, and many others are easy to perform. The handling of tests and photometer is well designed to avoid any errors in your water analysis.
HQD Meters / Intellical Probes Digital Reactor HQD benchtop multi meters are available for professionals who require a dedicated lab meter only for any application.
Hach's Intellical probes will function with both of these meter platforms and they are offered in a variety of laboratory and field configurations to meet the most demanding applications to accurately measure the following parameters: pH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Ammonia, Ammonium, Fluoride, Nitrate, Sodium, and Redox (ORP).
The Titralab AT1000 Series laboratory analysis systems are one touch, automatic analysers, covering both Potentiometric Titration (AT1000 Series) and Karl Fischer volumetric Titration (KF1000 Series) with pre-set methods that can quickly deliver accurate and reliable results straight from the box, allowing anyone in the laboratory to immediately perform accurate and reproducible titrations.
Colilert’s are designed to detect both total coliforms and Escherichia coli. This presence/absence test provides results in 24 hours, making it ideal for every food and beverage manufacturer.

DR6000 offers high speed wavelength scanning across the UV and Visible Spectrum, and comes with over 250 pre-programmed methods, which include the most common testing methods used today. With optional accessories allowing for high volume testing via a carousel sample changer, and increased accuracy with a sample delivery system which eliminates optical difference errors, this instrument ensures you are ready to handle your wide-ranging water testing needs.
Elemental Analysis
Several metals present in Vegetable Oil can affect the quality of some of the products made from it. In this way, refiners of Vegetable Oil ordinarily carry out elemental analysis at various stages of the refining process of QC/QA programs namely for soil and powders.
The Determination of key quality parameters of Vegetable Oil, namely free fatty acids (FFA), iodine value (IV), moisture contents need different analytical processes which could lack accuracy. Our family of digital controllers are compatible with a broad range of Hach process instrumentation, giving you easy, plug-and-play functionality across water treatment processes.
