Edible Oils
Chemical-Free, Energy-Efficient Membrane Solutions for Oil Purification
Permionics offers advanced membrane systems for the safe, non-thermal purification of edible oils—eliminating the need for harsh chemicals or high-energy refining. Our technology enables the removal of triglyceride and non-triglyceride impurities such as free fatty acids (FFAs), phospholipids, color pigments, waxes, and metal complexes—all without generating wastewater.
By separating FFAs and triglycerides at ambient temperatures, we provide an energy-efficient and environment-friendly alternative to traditional refining processes. Whether you’re refining plant-based oils or recovering high-value fractions, Permionics membranes deliver unmatched purity and performance.

Key Challenges Solved
- Incomplete or inconsistent impurity removal using traditional refining
- High energy consumption in thermal deacidification or distillation
- Product degradation due to heat or chemical exposure
- Difficulty recovering high-value triglycerides without contamination
- Environmental concerns around chemical wastewater discharge
Our Solutions
Permionics membrane systems offer clean, non-invasive purification and separation:
- Removal of FFAs, phospholipids, waxes, and pigments without solvents
- Separation of triglycerides and FFAs using UF/NF at ambient temperature
- Clarification of herbal oil infusions and extracts via Microfiltration
- Diafiltration for high-purity edible oil enrichment
- Zero wastewater output and minimal power use
