emulsifying agent and the degumming agent are made up in tank 60 while the wetting agent is dissolved in a portion of the vegetable oil in tank 62 the treating solution is pumped through line 64 containing metering valve 66 and pump 68 into the oil delivery line 70 while the wetting agent oil solution is pumped into line 70 through line 72 containing metering valve 74 and pump 76 the crude vegetable oil in line 70 containing the metered treating agents flows through a contactor 80 in which turbulent mixing of the oil and treating agents is effected to form an emulsion suitably the contactor contains a series of spaced baffling elements 84 to effect the desired mixing and emulsification of the mixture the emulsified oil mixture flows through line 86 containing pump 88 and cooler 90 to the primary separation centrifuge and then to the secondary wash centrifuge for processing as described with respect to fig1 the dewaxing process of the invention is particularly useful with vegetable oils containing a high amount of wax usually over 50 ppm to about 2 000 ppm though the dewaxing process may be conducted on crude or finished oil it is preferably practiced on the crude vegetable oils with crudes having a very high phosphatide content over about 300 ppm it may be preferable to degum the crude before it is dewaxed in general the process is practiced on those vegetable oils containing over 50 ppm insoluble wax in finished product causing haze and loss of brilliance representative crude oils that may be processed in accordance with the invention are soybean sunflower peanut cottonseed.
