  • Can continuous sterilization improve palm oil milling?
  • This paper examines the current status of development and impact of a new process for continuous sterilization on palm oil milling. The process leads to improvements in the design of mills, reduces the number of process operators, lowers the operating and maintenance costs, and simplifies mill operation.
  • Does Bukit Puteri palm oil mill lose oil in sterilization process?
  • The oil loss in sterilization process toabout 43%for the continuous press cake in Bukit Puteri Palm Oil Mill (Tables 5 and sterilization process. The difference in the 8) has reached a level that is comparable to clarification process performance between Bukit conventional mills.
  • What is a vertical sterilizer in palm oil mills?
  • The vertical sterilizer is considered for use in palm oil mills where space saving is important. Vertical Sterilization System enables a “one way traffic” Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) handling system instead of the conventional fruit cages double-handling arrangement.
  • How does a palm oil mill sterilize fruit?
  • Sterilization is one of the key processes in any palm oil mill. Fresh fruit bunches (FFB) are cooked using steam as the heating medium. The sterilization process uses a lot of steam, consuming about thirty (30%) to sixty (60%) percent of the total process steam, depending on the type of sterilizer technology used.
  • How does the sterilization method affect the quality of palm oil?
  • The sterilization method utilised also affects process performance and quality of palm oil. The good bleachability of palm oil necessitates a proper air-release prior to sterilization, shortest possible sterilizing time and lowest possible process temperature.
  • Does a palm oil mill use a sterilizer?
  • As outlined above, the type of sterilizer utilised in a palm oil mill can play a fairly significant role in the energy consumption of the palm oil production process. For example, a palm oil mill utilising the new horizontal sterilizer consumes 35 % less process steam than the vertical sterilizer.
