During palm oil refining process, the palm oil bleaching process （we also call it decolorization in the crude palm oil refinery process） mainly used to remove pigment and let the oil color light.

Bleaching is usually by adding white clay or active carbon to absorb most of the pigment away, then we remove the waste white clay by vibrating filter. According to our engineers, other parts in the refinery like degumming, deacidification and deodorization can also help remove some of the pigments in the oil.
