Enzymes for water degumming

Access more oil than you thought possible

Improve gum separation and boost your oil yields

High phospholipid levels in gum separation make significant oil losses unavoidable. That’s why yields above 95% are rare in traditional water degumming processes. With our innovative phospholipase C (PLC) enzymatic solution, Quara® Boost, you can recover much of this oil. That allows you to boost your overall yields.

Fewer impurities, more oil

By adding Quara® Boost, to your existing water degumming process, you can convert more phospholipids to oil. That means cutting by-products and boosting oil yields. Quara® Boost, also reduces emulsification strength, which releases neutral oil from gums. The end result is a 1% to 2% increase in oil yield and higher profits for your plant.

Where could a 2% oil yield increase take your plan?

With our oil profit calculator you can evaluate the main steps of your alkaline refining process and find the combination that will maximize gains and minimize loss.  Use the calculator to find out where Quara Boost® could take your plant.
