  • Process of converting low and high free fatty acid containing oils into no free fatty acid containing oils
    Patent number: 9365801
    Abstract: A system and method for the conversion of high free fatty acid (HFFA) containing oils defined as oils containing 20-100% free fatty acids (FFA) and low free fatty acid (LFFA) containing oils defined as oils containing 1-20% free fatty acids (FFA) into oil with less than 0.5% FFA (defined as NFFA oil) includes a combination of partial glycerolysis of HFFA oils to produce LFFA oils and subsequent stripping of LFFA oils to produce NFFA oils via steam distillation.
    Type: Grant

  • Method of Extracting Oil from Thin-stillage
    Publication number: 20130281280
    Abstract: A method of removing oil from an emulsion by-product of alcohol production from grain. A concentration-style centrifuge is used to separate the emulsion by-product into a light phase containing the oil and a heavy phase containing free-water and solids. The pH of the light phase is raised to approximately neutral by the addition of an alkaline composition to break the emulsion. The broken light phase is heated to between 170-200° F. and the oil is separated from the broken light phase in a disk-type centrifuge.
