Energy Efficiency in Edible Oil Refineries | Pinch Analysis by SEE-Tech Solutions

Unlock Hidden Energy Savings with SEE-Tech Solutions


Energy efficiency in edible oil refineries is not just about cost cutting — it’s about boosting profitability, process reliability, and sustainability.

At SEE-Tech Solutions, we help refineries achieve 20–30% improvement in energy performance using a scientific, proven method called Pinch Analysis.


This approach identifies how heat can be recovered and reused within your process, minimizing thermal losses and optimizing utility consumption across all streams.


Key Energy Optimization Areas


Our refinery energy audits and implementations focus on:


♨️ Recovering heat from hot outgoing streams such as bleached or deodorized oil


🌡️ Preheating incoming crude or degummed oil using waste heat recovery


💧 Reducing steam and cooling water demand through optimized heat exchange networks


🔥 Lowering coal and boiler fuel usage for significant cost reduction


❄️ Adopting Ammonia chillers for a triple advantage over 134a-based systems:



  • 20% higher COP (Coefficient of Performance)

  • Condenser heat recovery for additional savings

  • Lower refrigerant cost and better environmental footprint


🌀 Eliminating additional cooling circuits and reducing chilled water storage


🌍 Reducing carbon emissions per tonne of oil processed


Proven Results


Our detailed energy assessments across India’s leading edible oil refineries have consistently delivered:


20–30% reduction in energy costs

Rapid payback (often within 12 months)

Sustainable and measurable CO₂ reduction
