The present disclosure is related to an apparatus and method for purification of biological feedstock, such as reducing or removing nitrogen containing compounds therein. The method can include subjecting the feedstock to a first separation step for obtaining a first fraction containing free fatty acids and nitrogen containing compounds, and collecting the residue containing acylglycerols. The first fraction is reacted with glycerol to obtain acylglycerols from the free fatty acid therein. This fraction is subjected to a second separation step for obtaining a second fraction containing nitrogen containing compounds, which is discharged as waste-product. The remains from the second separation contain formed acylglycerols and are collected.

An ultrasonic-assisted heat press machine, includes a frame, a material tank, an extruder, an ultrasonic wave generator, and a heater. The material tank is disposed on the frame and includes a cavity for accommodating an oil-bearing raw material. The extruder is extended in the cavity. The ultrasonic wave generator is disposed on the frame and adjacent to the material tank. The heater is disposed on the frame and adjacent to the material tank. The heater is configured to produce heat to heat the cavity and the ultrasonic wave generator, and regulate the working frequency of the ultrasonic wave generator. When in use, the heater, the extruder, and the ultrasonic wave generator cooperate to separate oil from the oil-bearing raw material in the material tank.

Embodiments described herein provide a method, comprising routing a bio-oil to a mixing device; routing a wash material to the mixing device; using the mixing device to form a mixture from the bio-oil and the wash material; routing the mixture to an electrostatic separator; and applying an electric field to the mixture, in the electrostatic separator, to separate the wash material from the bio-oil.

The present disclosure relates to a process for refining crude oils using a combination of a chemical process and mega-sonic treatment to simultaneously and efficiently separate oil and gum phases. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a process for refining crude oils using a combination of chemical processes followed by megasonic treatment to effectively separate and recover entrained oil from a gum phase to increase the oil yield, and to produce an oil of higher quality with reduced gum content. The present disclosure also relates to a process for refining crude oils using a combination of chemical processes followed by megasonic treatment to effectively separate and recover entrained gums from an oil phase to increase the gum yield, and to produce a gum of higher quality with reduced oil content. The present disclosure also relates to obtaining refined oils and refined gums from the process described herein.

Methods for reducing the color of phospholipid compositions comprising lecithin are disclosed. The phospholipid composition is exposed to ultraviolet light to reduce the color of the composition. The phospholipid composition may be diluted and/or heated prior to exposure to ultraviolet light to improve the flow properties of the composition. The phospholipid composition may be cooled and/or concentrated after color reduction.

Provided are an oleaginous microorganism disruption process using a supersonic disperser and a method for producing bio-oil using the same. The method for producing bio-oil according to the present invention induces a cell disruption of oleaginous microorganisms without a separate drying process, thereby providing a method for continuously producing bio-oil in an economical and simple manner. In addition, the method of the present invention induces a cell disruption of oleaginous microorganisms without a heating process, thereby producing bio-oil without a change in physical properties due to the heat.

Provided is a non-splatter cooking oil even when water is mixed during heating. A magnetic field having a frequency higher than 200 kHz is applied to an edible oil.

A method of applying energy to CBD oil is provided. The method may include obtaining CBD oil from a plant, combining the CBD oil with a carrier oil, heating the combination of the CBD oil and carrier oil, mixing the CBD oil and carrier oil, filtering the CBD oil and carrier oil to a size of less than 60 nanometers, and applying an energy field to the CBD oil and carrier oil through a laser effector such that an electron is promoted from a bonding or non-bonding orbital into an empty anti-bonding orbitals of the CBD molecule. The laser effector may be a pink sapphire cut into a 15 equal side faceted crystal, double-stacked in a 2.3 cm cylindrical chamber, or an opulence half dome bubble lens configured to refract the beam.

The present invention relates to a method for reducing an amount of dissolved impurities in an oxygen containing renewable feedstock, the dissolved impurities being selected from impurities comprising phosphorus and impurities comprising at least one metal. The method comprises obtaining a net elementary charge of a first feedstock; mixing the first feedstock with an elementary charge balancing component to obtain the feedstock to be treated, whereby the feedstock to be treated has a net elementary charge which is closer to zero net elementary charge than the net elementary charge of the first feedstock; and subjecting the feedstock to be treated to a heat treatment at a temperature of 180-400° C. in order to precipitate compounds containing said phosphorus and said at least one metal.

The present invention relates to a device for electrically processing a fatty substance of plant origin, comprising a series of electrodes (1 and 2) and an enclosure (4), said device being characterised in that the enclosure (4) is provided with at least one electrical connector (5) placed on the outer surface (40) of the enclosure (4), a series of electrical connections for connecting each electrode of said series of electrodes to said electrical connector (5), with the current flow distances of the electrical connections being equal in relation to each other, and a first inlet (6) and a first outlet (7) for the fatty substance, and in that said device comprises a filter (12) having an inlet (13) in fluidic connection with said first fatty-substance outlet (7) of the enclosure (4) and an output (14) in fluidic connection with said first fatty-substance inlet (6) of the enclosure (4).
