Large-Scale
Oil Refinery Project
Complete industrial refining solutions from degumming to winterization — 100 to 1000+ TPD capacity
What Is a 100+ TPD Refinery Project?
At 100+ TPD capacity, you are no longer building a simple oil mill — you are commissioning a full industrial edible oil refinery with continuous degumming, neutralization, bleaching, deodorization and optional winterization for premium food-grade output
Full Industrial Refining System
Integrated degumming, FFA neutralization, bleaching earth treatment, high-vacuum deodorization and winterization — engineered as a continuous refinery line, not a standalone press shop.
Continuous Refining Technology
Lower cost per ton, stable product quality and reduced energy consumption versus batch refining — designed for 24/7 operation with PLC/DCS process control.
Export & Food Industry Compliance
Refined oil meeting international acidity, peroxide, color and clarity standards — suitable for supermarket brands, food manufacturers and export markets worldwide.
Large edible oil producers, government food security programs, multinational food corporations and export-oriented manufacturers seeking 100–1000+ TPD refining capacity with turnkey engineering support.
Complete Refinery System Configuration
Every section of a modern edible oil refinery — from crude oil receiving to finished oil storage, utilities and centralized control
Degumming System
Phospholipid and gum removal from crude oil — acid or enzymatic degumming with continuous reactors and separation for stable downstream refining.

Plant Layout & Infrastructure Requirements
Land planning, civil works, utility connections and environmental compliance for large-scale edible oil refinery projects
Land Area & Building Requirements
100 TPD: 2,500–3,500 m² refinery hall + 4,000–6,000 m² total site with crude/refined tank farm.
200–300 TPD: 4,000–6,000 m² processing building + tank farm, control room and loading bay.
500–1000 TPD: Multi-building complex with dedicated utility block, warehouse and administration — layouts include expansion zones for future capacity.
Utility Connections
Steam boiler (3–20+ t/h depending on capacity), cooling water tower, compressed air, electrical substation (400 kW–3+ MW), fire water and process water treatment. Deodorization requires reliable vacuum systems and thermal oil or steam heating — all specified in utility load tables with civil interface drawings.
Environmental Compliance
Soapstock and spent bleaching earth handling, wastewater pre-treatment, odor control from deodorizer stacks, noise zoning and emissions monitoring — designed to support local EIA approval and food industry environmental audits.
Future Expansion Planning
Layouts reserve space for additional deodorizer trains, tank capacity and packaging lines — protecting your investment when upgrading from 100 TPD to 200+ TPD without full site relocation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Large-Scale Refineries
A complete 100 TPD continuous refinery (degumming, neutralization, bleaching, deodorization, storage, utilities and PLC control) typically ranges from USD 1.2–2.5 million for equipment depending on oil type, automation level and utility integration. Civil construction, land, boiler plant and installation are additional. We provide itemized quotations for feasibility studies and investment analysis.
Batch refining processes oil in discrete tanks — suitable for small capacity and multiple oil types. Continuous refining runs 24/7 through linked reactors and towers — essential at 100+ TPD for lower cost per ton, stable quality and reduced labor. All refinery projects at this scale use continuous technology.
A 200 TPD refinery typically requires 4,000–6,000 m² of processing building plus 6,000–10,000 m² total site including crude and refined oil tank farms, utility block (steam boiler, cooling tower, substation), control room, loading bay and fire access roads. We provide detailed layout drawings based on your land plot dimensions.
Essential utilities include steam boiler (for neutralization, drying and deodorization heat), cooling water system, electrical power (400 kW to 3+ MW depending on capacity), compressed air, process water treatment, vacuum systems for deodorizers and wastewater pre-treatment. Utility load tables are included in our engineering proposal.
Yes. We supply complete refinery equipment with process engineering, P&ID and layout design, installation supervision, commissioning, operator training and long-term technical support. Turnkey scope can include utility specification and project management for plants from 100 to 1000+ TPD. Contact us with oil type, capacity, country and budget range for a refinery proposal.
Winterization (dewaxing) is typically required for sunflower oil, cottonseed oil, rice bran oil and some corn oils to prevent cloudiness at low temperatures. Soybean, palm and rapeseed refineries often omit winterization unless targeting cold-climate retail markets. We configure the refinery line based on your target oil type and market requirements.
ROI depends on crude oil cost, refined oil selling price, capacity utilization and local market demand. Well-located 200 TPD refineries with stable crude supply often achieve payback in 3–5 years. We provide investment analysis support including capacity, utility cost and revenue projections when you submit a project inquiry.
