  • How is palm oil processed?
  • There are two major processing methods known as chemical and physical refining. Palm oil is by far the most important fractionated oil in the world; crude, semi- and fully refined palm oil can be fractionated in multi-stage, giving access to several products for specific applications.
  • What factors influence the process conditions for palm oil refining?
  • This paper deals with influences and optimizing of changing process conditions for physical refining of palm oil. These process variables are temperature, pressure, residence time, fluid flow and stripping steam to oil ratio.
  • Why is Physical refining of palm oil better than chemical refining?
  • With the right pretreatment process physical refining of palm oil is not only much more economical than chemical refining in connection with stripping steam deodorization, but also causes much less pollution by waste water and exhaust air.
  • What is the FFA concentration in the refined palm oil sample?
  • The FFA concentrations in the refined palm oil samples of both the control and the regular double refining experiment (T1) are shown in Table S1 of the supplemental material. The FFA concentration in the final sample after the control treatment and the second refining (T1) are respectively 0.73% and 0.25%.
  • Does palm oil refining increase cost per weight?
  • These mitigation strategies will lead to increased total costs per weight refined palm oil than for example a traditional single physical refining. However, exact financial statements and calculations of the costs of the proposed refining scheme are beyond the aim of this study. 4. Conclusions
  • What is chemical refining of palm oil?
  • When starting with very good quality crude palm oil (low FFA and high DOBI), chemical refining is able to purify the oil so effectively that the bleaching step can be skipped or performed with very small amounts of non-activated bleaching earths or with silica.
