A process for producing unsaturated and saturated free fatty acid from
trap oils, trap greases, brown greases and grease trap waste as starting
material. The process consist in subjecting the starting material to a
pretreatment, a first purification step, a fractional step, a second
purification step and eventually a hydrogenation step. Methyl esters of
unsaturated and saturated free fatty acids, oleic acid and stearin is
obtained from this process.
