Historical and conventional methods for the treatment of vegetable oil waste water are described. The results obtained and the economics of the various processes for oil‐water separation are reported. A process utilizing selective adsorption filtration is described. The new regeneration procedure for cleaning the filter media allows for its total reuse. The process produces effluent water which will conform to existing government regulations for oil content. Development of the filtration/regeneration process is described up to full‐scale installation with test results.
