Acid Oil Soya

Whatsapp Order

Acid Oil Soya is a byproduct derived from the refining of soybean oil. It is a dark-colored, free fatty acid-rich liquid containing mainly oleic and linoleic acids. Acid Oil Soya is commonly used in industrial applications such as soap making, animal feed, and as a raw material in the production of biodiesel, lubricants, and other chemicals.

Description

Primary Uses 

  1. Biodiesel Production
    • Used as a low-cost feedstock for biodiesel manufacturing due to its high free fatty acid (FFA) content.
    • Processed via esterification/transesterification to produce fatty acid methyl esters (FAME).
  2. Animal Feed Supplement
    • Mixed with feed pellets as an energy source for livestock (poultry, cattle, pigs).
    • Provides fatty acids for improved animal growth and coat condition.
  3. Soap & Oleochemical Industry
    • Raw material for low-grade soaps and fatty acid distillation.
    • Used in lubricants, greases, and industrial surfactants.

Secondary Uses

  1. Agriculture
    • Acts as a dust suppressant in feed mills.
    • Used in organic pesticides as a carrier oil.
  2. Wastewater Treatment
    • Helps in flotation processes to remove oil/grease from industrial effluents.
  3. Rubber & Plastics
    • Softening agent in rubber recycling.
