SD - Select is a natural silicate that is engineered for the removal of polar contaminants such as soaps, metals, and phospholipids in the refining of fats and oils. It is used to produce clean, quality edible oils and biodiesel feedstock that meet the most demanding specifications.
Applications
Interesterification
Elimination of water wash centrifuge
Physical refining
Enzymatic degumming
Conventional silicas require drying of the oil in order to achieve optimal performance. However, going into bleaching with dry oil reduces the efficiency of the bleaching clay to remove chlorophyll and color bodies.
SD - Select does not require drying of the oil to achieve optimal performance which results in a more efficient removal of chlorophyll and color bodies in bleaching regardless of the type of bleaching clay.
