Conclusions
Duozon centrifugal contactors seem to have the following advantages in the refining of glyceride oils: decreased losses and increased yields of products; large capacity in a single machine resulting in low first cost, reduced requirement for floor space, and simple flow and installation; because of comparatively low speed, low maintenance cost and low power requirement; practically automatic operation; continuous operation unhampered by particles of meal in the charge; and an entirely enclosed system, allowing no oxidation of hot oil.
