After mixing of these components, the washing water with the most of impurities is separated from the methyl ester by means of centrifugal separation.
Advantages
The Desmet Methyl Ester Washing Unit allows to achieve a very deep removal of contaminants by the use of centrifugal separation, a very consolidate technology that offers excellent results and easy operational management.
