  • What are the by-products of palm oil extraction?
  • After the extraction of oil from the palm kernel, several by-products are generated such as the empty fruit bunches, palm pressed fibers and shells which are mainly composed of lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose and other carbonaceous materials . ... ...
  • What are the by-products of palm oil refining?
  • For example, about 70% of all the edible vegetable oil consumed in Nigeria and other West African countries is made from palm kernel oil (PKO). What is more, palm kernel oils are also the raw material of making soap. Secondly, during the palm oil refining process, the by-products mainly are soapstock and FFA.
  • Are palm oil by-products utilised as waste?
  • This paper outlines the utilisation of by-products resulting from the extraction and refining of palm oil. It summarises research by the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) directed at producing zero waste from the palm oil industry. MPOB regards by-products of the palm oil industry not as waste but resources.
  • What is palm kernel oil extraction process?
  • PALM KERNEL OIL EXTRACTION 5.1 Mechanical extraction Mechanical extraction processes are suitable for both small- and large- capacity operations. The three basic steps in these processes are (a) kernel pre-treatment, (b) screw-pressing, and (c) oil clarification. Diagram 2: Mechanical extraction of palm kernel oil.
  • What is palm oil processing?
  • The kernel processors have to go around the palm oil processors during the peak season, when prices are lowest, to purchase the nuts for drying. The nut processing and oil extraction is undertaken in the dry season when the pressure to obtain raw materials has subsided. The traditional palm oil processing starts with the shelling of the palm nuts.
  • What are the environmental impacts of oil palm processing in Nigeria?
  • Therefore, this paper reviewed the environmental impacts of oil palm processing in Nigeria. The study found that oil palm processing emits three waste streams including gaseous (pollutant gases), liquid (palm oil mill effluent i.e. POME) and solid (palm press fibre, chaff, palm kernel shell and empty fruit bunch).
