Operation of a four‐tank‐car‐per‐day plant, using a Duozon 3 and a Hydrazon 3 舠in series舡 to perform continuous degumming, caustic refining, and water washing of soybean oil is described. A simplified flow sheet, illustrating the process, and a detailed functional description of the degummer and the caustic refiner‐water washer are given. Typical plant‐operating data for this versatile, low‐cost plant are pressnted.
