SOAP

In this case the Saponification Plant is very simple but glycerine is more diluted (sweet waters). Sweet waters will be processed in three subsequent glycerine plants (purification, concentration, distillation).

Also in this case the soap produced is liquid and with high moisture therefore a Soap Dryer is necessary.

SOAP PRODUCTION VIA FATTY ACIDS
The alternative route to soap involves a simple neutralization of fatty acids. However the main raw materials are again oils and fats that are first transformed into fatty acids and glycerine by a Splitting Plant. Fatty acids are then distilled to obtain the necessary purity.

SOAP AND GLYCERINE PRODUCTION STARTING FROM OILS AND FATS
The most used oils and fats to produce soap are animal fats (typically beef tallow) and/or vegetable oils (palm oil, palm stearin, palm kernel oil, coconut oil) and caustic soda NaOH.
To produce soap with normal trading standards, oils and fats have to be bleached or RBD (Refined,Bleached, Deodorized).
The saponification reaction produces also glycerine as by-product.

A Saponification Plant transforms Oils / Fats with Caustic soda into Soap and Glycerine. The soap produced is liquid, hot and with a high level of moisture: it must be therefore dried in the next Soap Dryer that produces noodles of white soap.
