Water degumming
Enzymatic solutions for water degumming
Looking to recover lost oil to boost your overall yields? Our enzymes for water degumming are the answer.
Improved gum separation that boosts oil yields
High phospholipid levels in gum separation make significant oil losses unavoidable. That’s why yields above 95% are rare in traditional water degumming.
With our innovative phospholipase C (PLC) enzymatic solution, Quara® Boost, you can recover much of this lost oil to boost your overall yields.
Fewer impurities, more oil
By adding Quara® Boost, to your existing water degumming process, you can convert more phospholipids to oil, cutting by-products and boosting oil yields. Enzymatic degumming with Quara® Boost, also reduces emulsification strength, which releases neutral oil from gums.
The end result? A 1-2% increase in oil yield and higher profits for your plant.
Right now, even the most efficient plants struggle to improve oil yields. Even with continuous process optimizations, you’re unlikely to achieve large gains in the degumming of oil.
It’s frustrating when you consider the difference a big gain could make to your bottom line.
What could a 2% rise in oil yield do for your business?
Oil degumming enzymes can make all the difference. A 2% rise in oil yield – from 95% to 97% - would give you 970 tons of refined oil. Only 3%, or 30 tons, of your output would now be gums. That increases your turnover to $689.5 million USD.
