  • What is crude palm oil refining?
  • To prevent iron oxidation, the storage tank is lined in a suitable protective coating. The oil at this stage is called the crude palm oil (CPO). The aim of refining is to convert the CPO to quality edible oil by removal of objectionable impurities to the desired levels in the most efficient manner.
  • Where is palm oil produced?
  • Most palm oil is currently produced in South East Asia, even though the oil palm is originally an African crop. The two largest producers are Malaysia and Indonesia, who together account for about 85% of the world¡¯s palm oil production. Indonesia is the world¡¯s largest producer of palm oil, followed by Malaysia.
  • What is crude palm oil (CPO)?
  • The oil at this stage is called the crude palm oil (CPO). The aim of refining is to convert the CPO to quality edible oil by removal of objectionable impurities to the desired levels in the most efficient manner. CPO consists of glycerides and small and variable portions of non-glyceride component as well.
  • How is refined palm oil produced?
  • To produce refined palm oil (RPO), the objectionable impurities in the CPO are removed to obtain the required levels using two main methods: chemical or alkali refining and physical refining methods. Either of these is followed by fractionation as a final purification process to separate the oil into stearin and olein components.
  • What is palm oil?
  • Palm oil is an edible vegetable oil extracted from the orange-red mesocarp of the fruits of the oil palm. It has the color of a rich, deep red, which is said to be derived from its rich carotenoid contents, which are known pigments often found in plants and animals.
  • How is crude palm oil stored?
  • The oil is stored at a temperature of about 50 °C using low pressure steam in heating coils to prevent it from going rancid through oxidation and to prevent solidification and fractionation. To prevent iron oxidation, the storage tank is lined in a suitable protective coating. The oil at this stage is called the crude palm oil (CPO).
