ENHANCING SUSTAINABILITY AND EFFICIENCY IN VEGETABLE OIL PRODUCTION
Valoriim collaborated with Alfa Laval to support the industrialization of a customized centrifugal separator system tailored for vegetable oil production. Our role involved defining a clear project scope and addressing the operational challenges faced by Alfa Laval’s end customer. Together, we helped implement a high-efficiency solution that reduced environmental impact, minimized maintenance needs, and significantly improved process performance across several production sites.

The challenge
Reducing Operational Costs and Environmental Footprint
The client faced inefficiencies in their vegetable oil production process, particularly high cooling water usage and frequent maintenance interruptions. These issues drove up operational costs and increased environmental impact—posing a challenge to both profitability and sustainability.
Alfa Laval needed a partner to help define the technical scope and accelerate the development of a custom separator solution optimized for these conditions. The goal was to deliver a scalable system that would enhance performance while lowering resource consumption and operational strain.
Result
A High-Efficiency Separator That Cuts Costs and Saves Resources
Through our collaboration, Alfa Laval successfully industrialized and deployed a centrifugal separator solution specifically engineered for vegetable oil production. The results were significant:
- 50% reduction in cooling water usage, contributing to more sustainable and resource-efficient operations.
- 80% decrease in maintenance costs, thanks to the advanced design that minimized downtime and extended equipment life.
- Improved operational efficiency across production sites, allowing the client to meet output targets more reliably while reducing environmental impact.
The final solution featured centrifugal separators, built to deliver consistent, low-maintenance performance with a strong focus on sustainability. Our partnership helped ensure that the solution was not only technically sound but also ready for industrial implementation at scale.
