This system will dispense both acid solution and soft water into stirred reactor of oil preheated and subsequently held at 180°F. The controls will allow the operation to select the degree of acid treatment based on PPM of acid up to 1500 ppm. Water additions will range from 0-10% of oil volume. The vessel shall be sized to allow 30 minutes of contact time between the water and the acid. The resulting flow will undergo oil/gum separation in a static separator. The resulting gums will be heated and sent to the soap stock Vestment system.
