It is that company in which different types of raw materials are processed, resulting in common products such as gasoline, alcohol or cans. Each one of them is destined for different purposes, since oil refineries, for example, are in charge of producing liquids and gases that are used as fuels, pressure substances and gases for domestic use; It all comes down to the fact that the plant that refines the oil only does this. Most of the time these industries are designed so that they can process a large amount of raw materialand to be able to take it to different products. For each type of treatment, a different unit should be found, therefore, some distilleries are simple, because they do not have many units, just as it can be considered complex, because they have many treatment areas available.
As for the refineries that produce edible oils, they introduce the product in a pre-treatment phase, passing, first, through a stage in which the phosphatide components they contain are modified, because they produce other substances that are not soluble. in water; the second, for its part, consists in neutralizing some components of the compound, using a mixture that is added at a very low speed; the third step is to separate the fluff from the mixture, using a centrifugal machine for this; The last, drying, is responsible for eliminating the traces of moisture present in the chemical, a process in which its temperature rises greatly so that the water can evaporate.
However, it is also treated with a final step, which is divided into three processes: treatment with silica, with which it is possible to eliminate residues that are harmful to the body, such as soaps or metals; then the product is discolored, until it reaches the correct color, some soil and soap that have not been removed in the previous phase is removed, in addition to moderately drying the substance; In the deodorization stage, the characteristics of the product are controlled, that is, it works on its consistency, taste and smell, so that it is pleasant for human consumption.
