Application
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to operate, adjust and shut down a bleaching process to remove colour and impurities from partially refined oil.
This unit applies to individuals who apply basic operating principles to the operation and monitoring of bleaching equipment and processes in an edible oils production environment. Processes may be batch or continuous, and apply to single or multiple product types.
All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, in accordance with state/territory health and safety and food safety regulations, legislation and standards that apply to the workplace.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
