Chemical refining

Lose less oil to soap stock generation

Boost yield by up to 2% with Novonesis enzymatic alkaline refining process

Access more oil than you thought possible

The high levels of by-products generated by traditional alkaline refining make significant oil losses unavoidable. For many producers, getting yields above 95% can be a challenge.

Quara® Boost, our innovative phospholipase C (PLC) solution, transforms the alkaline refining process. It reduces the level of oil you lose to soap stock generation so you can get more oil without increasing raw material inputs, and it’s simpler to manage by-products.

How it works?

More oil, less soap stock

Quara® Boost converts more phospholipids into diglycerides so less soap stock is generated in your process. That’s why adding Quara® Boost to your existing alkaline refining process could cut by-products and boost oil yields by between 1% and 2%.

And provide higher profits for your plant.

No additional sodium hydroxide needed

The PLC enzymatic reaction does not increase the content of FFA (Free Fatty Acids) in oil. That means you don’t need additional sodium hydroxide in your process. And it means you can reduce soap formation and associated oil yield losses.

Easy to implement and fast payback

Adding our solution to your process is straightforward. Rather than changing your entire process, a minimal retrofit gives you all the benefits of Quara® Boost. Along with the significant gain in oil yields, you will enjoy fast payback on your investment.
