Edible Oil and Fats

Maximising Yield, Minimising Waste.

Be it an existing facility, an expansion, or a greenfield project, our engineered solutions and services deliver benchmark specific energy consumption, improve yield, oil and DOC quality and reduce the carbon and water footprint.

Edible oil production from seed/fruit involves multiple stages, from preparation and extraction to refining and packaging. Each stage presents challenges in energy efficiency, product quality, and cost control, all while ensuring sustainable operations.

Plants typically grapple with issues such as high steam consumption, oil and DOC quality variations, higher solvent loss, and frequent heat exchanger failures. These issues not only drive up operational costs but also disrupt process efficiency, thereby impacting both yield and profitability.

Forbes Marshall offers a range of innovative solutions to tackle these challenges. With advanced steam management systems, heat recovery solutions, and process automation, we help edible oil plants optimize energy use, enhance extraction and refining efficiency, and improve overall sustainability.

Let us help you

Improve Process
Efficiency

We help to improve the quality, consistency, and accuracy of processes while boosting productivity through our measurement and control solutions, and by addressing utility bottlenecks.

Save
Energy

We help lower utility expenses, delivering a 20-24% reduction in boiler fuel costs by cutting steam generation expenses, minimising distribution losses, optimising equipment steam consumption, and improving condensate recovery to approximately 90%.

Reduce Environmental Impact

We provide products and services to help plants reduce fuel consumption, monitor stack parameters, reduce  CO2 emissions and manage effluent. We also help to optimise water extraction and consumption thereby reducing impact on the environment.

Run Safe
Operations

Our online monitoring and control solutions prevent and address operational deviations in processes and utilities like steam. Additionally, we identify and rectify design gaps in the steam system that could pose hazards to the plant and personnel.
