This process is technically and economically feasible and being practiced by several Indian rice bran oil refineries.
Technology Benefits Summary
Differentiation & Uniqueness: Environmentally much more benign compared to the existing commercial processes as this process requires less water and release less liquid effluent
Application & Potential Advantages
Pre-treatment of rice bran oil for making it amenable for physical refining by reducing phosphorus levels to 0 to 5 ppm after enzymatic de-gumming, bleaching and de-waxing.
Development Stage & Development Status Summary
- 50 tonnes processed per day
- Demonstrated to 19 industries and 8 project engineering companies
