Case Study From Crude Tall Oil to High-Value Products
New Case Study: From Crude Tall Oil to High-Value Products
Crude Tall Oil Processing: Thin Film Distillation and Wiped Film Distillation in Modern Tall Oil Processing
Origin: Crude Tall Oil from Kraft Pulping
Depitching: A Key Step Before Fractionation
Products: TOFA, TOR and DTO
Applications: Fuels derived from renewable feedstocks, lubricants, adhesives, coatings and specialty chemicals
By enabling efficient depitching, thin film and wiped film technologies help unlock the full value of crude tall oil. These advanced distillation methods facilitate the separation of valuable components from crude tall oil, leading to the production of high-value derivatives such as fatty acids, rosin, and tall oil fatty alcohols. The ability to operate at lower temperatures minimizes thermal degradation of sensitive compounds, ensuring product integrity and quality. Furthermore, the continuous processing capability supports productivity and scalability, making them essential in modern tall oil processing operations. Ultimately, the integration of thin film and wiped film distillation can support efficient utilization of crude tall oil and the recovery of valuable product fractions.
