Purifine®

The gold-standard in enzymatic oil degumming solutions, Purifine® 3G enables you to recover up to 3% more oil from your production (depending on the starting phospholipid content) - while reducing oil content in gums to as low as 15%.

It works by breaking down phospholipids into water-soluble and oil-soluble fragments, which forms oil as well as breaking the emulsion formation - thus making the separation between gum and oil phase more efficient.

As a result, it helps you mitigate against rising costs and raw material inconsistency – all while lowering your carbon footprint with less waste and energy use.

To maximize enzyme performance, you’ll need an additional retention tank to hold the degumming process; and our team will need to ensure that your processing parameters - like temperature and pH - correspond to specific enzyme requirements. 

If you’re a vegetable oil producer striving for substantial efficiency increases but with a relatively low investment required, our Purifine® PLA1 can improve your yield by up to 2% over conventional refining.

Purifine® PLA1 requires the same-or-lower dosage compared to other enzymatic solutions in the market, which enables you to do more with less, with lower cost-in-use.

It also enables a simpler, safer, more efficient and cleaner process. For example, it has a higher reaction temperature (up to 70°C) and eliminates the need for caustic (chemical) additions because it works at a lower pH. This in turn enables better oil separation and results in a clean centrifuge, thanks to the liquid lyso-gums.

And did we mention it’s more sustainable? Based on a recent lifecycle assessment, Purifine® PLA1 was shown to reduce the carbon footprint of the production process by 30-35% compared to a non-enzymatic solution.
