Founded in 1990 .Operated the first rice bran extraction
plant in March 1991 with a capacity of 50 tons rice bran / day.
In 1993, the second
rice bran extraction plant begin operation with a capacity of 120
tons/day.
In 1995, Refining
plant begin operation with a capacity of 30 tons crude oil/day.
In 1998, the third
rice bran extraction plant; 200 tons rice bran/day began operation.
In
2011, additional plant to increase the capacity of the refining process
i.e. dewaxing and winterising will be commissioned.
Extraction Process
Rice bran
received from the rice mill is cleaned by a sifter to separate the husk
and broken rice. Then bran goes through a oven and it is heated up to
reduce the moisture of the rice bran to make it suitable for extraction
by solvent. From the oven, the rice bran is sent to the extractor to
extract oil by solvent. Rice bran from the extractor is then heated up
to increase the temperature to evaporate the solvent before sending it
to the rice bran stock tank.
Miscella from the extractor is pumped through the evaporators to increase
the temperature and remove the residual solvent by evaporation. Crude
rice bran oil subsequently exits from the last evaporator before it is
run through the screen filtering and sent to the storage tanks.
Refining process
Crude rice bran
is the run through the following processes below to produce the final
end product i.e Refined Rice Bran Oil
- Degumming and
neutralization : using Alfa-Laval Separators.
- Bleaching : using
filter leaves.
- Deodorizing : using
superheat steam as heating media.
- Dewaxing and
Winterization
- Bottling
