At Alfa Laval, we don't just make do with traditional deodorization thinking – we develop new and better ideas that later set the standard for the whole industry.     Deodorization is such a crucial part of edible fats and oils processing that the only way to really get ahead – and stay there – is to use the latest technology and the best equipment. Alfa Laval's patented breakthrough in applying thin-film technology to modern deodorization processes opens up important opportunities for taking your processing efficiency to a new level. It enables you to use less steam and to process the oil at lower temperatures. This results in more gentle, effective treatment that greatly benefits the quality of your fats and oils. The Alfa Laval SoftColumn™ deodorization concept is also designed to be extremely versatile. Separate stripping and retention sections provide a wide range of options for implementing the most efficient deodorization solution currently available – both in new installations and when extending and updating existing fats and oils processing installations.
