  • How is copra oil made?
  • The production of copra oil is described in Sect. 6.3. The yellowish crude copra oil produced from copra processing is subjected to various downstream processing steps such as refining, bleaching, and deodourisation processes to obtain colorless oil known as refined coconut oil.
  • What is copra?
  • Copra is the dried product of coconut kernels. It undergoes a crucial process of moisture reduction to enhance oil concentration and facilitate easy oil extraction from the coconut seeds in the coconut oil production process.
  • How has technology changed the oil and gas industry in Tanzania?
  • Technological strides, particularly in seismic surveying, drilling techniques, and offshore exploration, have revolutionized the oil and gas industry globally. In Tanzania, adopting these technologies will be crucial.
  • Where is Kamal tzs10b oil refinery located?
  • Industrial group Kamal of Tanzania recently launched its TZS10b heavy oil refinery in Tanzania. The factory is placed in Kamala¡¯s industrial park in Bagamoyo, established under the Special Economic Zones (SEZ) program. The TZS10b factory will allow Tanzania¡¯s industries to produce heavy oil locally instead of importing it.
  • How can VCO be produced from dried copra?
  • Recently, VCO could also be produced from dried copra by the employment of solvents and other means at lower temperatures as explained in Sect. 6.3.6. Oil extracted from the wet processing of coconut is commonly referred to as virgin coconut oil (VCO).
  • How much oil will a Tanzanian oil refinery produce a year?
  • The refinery will have the capacity to produce approximately 27,000t of oil per year and about 10,000t of lubricant annually. This will save Tanzania USD15m of its foreign exchange reserves and at least 200 Tanzanians will be directly and indirectly employed in the refinery, Gupta explained.
