  • How is palm kernel oil extracted?
  • The mechanical extraction method uses screw press as the principal means of extracting vegetable oil. However, use of the screw press for full extraction has been increased over the years in the less developed countries. Today even larger and more efficient machines are being developed for full extraction and pre-pressing of palm kernel oil.
  • How much palm oil did Congo produce in 1961?
  • While Congo produced 224,000 tons of palm oil in 1961, Malaysia and Indonesia produced 94,846 tons and 145,700 tons respectively. Sixty years later, Congo’s production was stagnating at 300,000 tons, while Malaysia’s and Indonesia’s production had exponentially grown to 19.1 million tons and 44.8 million tons respectively.
  • What is the difference between palm kernel and mesocarp?
  • The outer fleshy mesocarp gives the palm oil, while the kernel, which is inside the hard shell gives the palm kernel oil; and it is rather strange that the two oils from same fruit are entirely different in fatty acid composition and properties. Palm kernel is an important by-product from oil palm mill.
  • What is the production of palm oil in DRC?
  • The production of palm oil in DRC is primarily targeted at satisfying the local demand for this commodity. In 2022, palm oil consumption in DRC was estimated at 425,000 metric tons [ 70 ], while domestic production is currently estimated at 300,000 metric tons [ 71 ]. Palm oil is consumed daily by the over 100 million people of DRC.
  • How hexane is used to extract Palm kernel oil?
  • Solvent extraction method gives a high yield of palm kernel oil when compared with the mechanical extraction method. The cake is conveyed by a chain conveyor to the hopper from which the sample enters the extraction unit which then conveys it to sprayers that contain hexane solvent that washes the oil content of the palm kernel cake.
  • How many kg of palm kernel would be processed in 5 hours?
  • Also 297.6kg of palm kernel would be processed in 5hours batch operation time. Mass fraction of cake in the unclarified oil after recycle. In process design, energy balance is made to determine the energy requirements of the process, the heating, cooling and power required.
