  • What is palm oil refining?
  • Palm oil refining is aim to remove phospholipids, FFA, pigment, gums, waxes, off-flavor and other impurities in the crude palm oil . The main process of palm oil refining processes are: degumming & deacidification , decolorization and deodorization. Chemical refining and physical refining of crude plam oil
  • Why do Nigerian refineries use palm kernel oil?
  • More than 60% of refineries in Nigeria are built on palm kernel oil as raw materials. This is because processing of palm kernel oil involves degumming, bleaching, deodorization, cooling, and packaging. This product is liquid at ambient conditions except during the rainy season when the product congeals due to low temperatures (<20°C).
  • Which refineries use Physical refining to refine crude palm oil?
  • At present, m ost refineries in Malaysia use physical refining to refine crude palm oil. (Learn about the main equipment and process of palm oil fractionation ) Oil physical refining process, also called as oil steam refining.
  • What are the advantages of Physical refining of palm oil?
  • Physical refining process is suitable for both crude palm oil and palm kernel oil. Improve production capacity and refining rate. Reduce production cost. Shorten processing time. Directly recovering highly purified distilled fatty acids. Reduce waste water and waste gas problems.
  • Which type of refining equipment is used in palm oil processing plant?
  • Although most palm oil processing plant adopts physical refining equipment, for other kinds of vegetable oil such as soybean oil refining, chemical refining is still the best refining choice. During the crude oil chemical refining process, the FFA will be removed and the neutralized crude oil and soap stock will be produced.
  • How is palm oil produced in Nigeria?
  • The NIFOR and other small/medium scale fabricated equipment are employed by processors who account for more than 60% of palm oil produced in Nigeria. The following process description is for a 20 tonne per hour fresh fruit bunch mill. The bunches are collected from the fields and delivered to the mill in tipping trucks and tractors with trailers.
