Main Steps of Oil Refining 

1. Crude Oil DegummingIn this step gums in crude oil are removed by hydration with the help of phosphoric acid.

2. NeutralizationIn this step free fatty acids are neutralized by using sodium hydroxide and convert them into soap. Additional impurities are also removed by adsorption on soap.

3. BleachingDuring bleaching, unwanted pigments are adsorbed physically and oil will become much clearer. 

4. DeodorizationDeodorization is used to remove unacceptable odors by steam distillation, the odoriferous compound are stripped off with the help of live injected steam into heated oil under high vacuum pressure.

5. Dewaxing (necessary for cold areas) 

Some kinds of oil like sunflower, maize germ or corn oil have waxes inside, if these impurities are not removed, the oil will freeze easily under low temperature, thus effecting oil quality and appearance. so this process is necessary in extremely cold areas.
