Crude oil reception
The crude oil, which may arrive in flexitanks, tankers or other tanks, is unloaded into the tanks.
Winterization
The aim of winterization is to lower the temperature so that the margarines crystallize and separate.
DECOLORIZATION DEODORIZATION
In the decolorization process the aim is to eliminate pigments to obtain an oil with less color than the original one. Then it passes to the deodorization to eliminate bad odor an taste by increasing the temperature and working under vacuum.
FILTERING AND STORAGE
Once the oil is deodorized, it is cooled down, and then, it is transferred to the corresponding tanks. Finally, the oil is filtered to prevent any type of impurities and it is stored in the refined product storage tanks.
