Fractional Fatty Acid Distillation
High-purity fatty acid fractions for the oleochemical industry, energy-efficient, continuous and reliable.
Purity Defines Value
Crude fatty acids from oils and fats are a mixture of different chain lengths and qualities. Their market value is determined by purity: only precisely separated, high-purity fractions meet the specifications of the oleochemical industry.
Save Tech designs, installs and commissions fractional fatty acid distillation plants that deliver exactly that, a stable, energy-efficient process producing high-purity fatty acids with consistent quality and reliable long-term operation, proven in commercial production.
Engineered for Quality and Efficiency
Gentle Vacuum Operation
Distillation under vacuum keeps process temperatures low, protecting heat-sensitive fatty acids from thermal degradation and preserving product color and quality.
Structured Packing Columns
High-efficiency structured packing provides sharp separation at minimal pressure drop, the basis for precise fraction cuts and low energy demand.
Precise Fractionation
Light and heavy fractions are cut exactly to specification, from short-chain to long-chain fatty acids, tailored to the customer's product portfolio.
Heat Integration
Optimized heat recovery between process streams minimizes steam and utility consumption, for the lowest possible operating cost.
Continuous Operation
Designed for stable 24/7 production with consistent product quality and reliable long-term operation.
Full Commissioning Support
From process engineering and installation supervision to start-up, optimization and operator training, everything from one source.
