Edible oils: lower cost per tonne refined.
Steam and thermal oil run on fixed setpoints, vacuum systems drift unmeasured, and oil leaves in by-products.
Where the money goes
Steam and thermal oil
Load-matched heater control and steam-trap monitoring cut fuel without touching the process.
Refining losses
Oil lost in meal, soapstock and fatty-acid distillate, accounted for batch by batch.
Vacuum and cooling
Steam ejectors and cooling towers lose efficiency quietly. Measuring them shows when to service.
What you get
One number per tonne refined
Electricity, fuel and losses rolled into cost per unit, live and by section, with hour-by-hour heatmaps that show waste outside working hours.
The right person, at once
Alarms and advice go by SMS, WhatsApp or email to whoever is responsible for that section, and escalate if nobody acknowledges.
PlantOS engineers on every shift
Our intuitive algorithm learns what normal looks like for every signal and flags abnormal events as they happen; our engineers review each section's data and send you advice and a one-page weekly report.
Questions
What does PlantOS measure in edible oil refineries?
Typically: Steam flow meters, Thermal-oil temperatures, Flue O₂, Tank level radar, Batch scales.
What is the usual first project?
Steam and thermal-oil metering with trap monitoring.
How are savings proven?
A baseline of energy against production is fixed before changes are made; savings are the difference between what the baseline predicts for each day's production and what was measured, in line with IPMVP Option B.
