  • How does palm oil milling work?
  • The digestion and pressing stations represent the core of the palm oil milling process, where palm oil is extracted from the fruits. Fruitlets, which have undergone sterilization, are conveyed to vertical cylindrical digesters where they are heated by steam and mashed by stirring arms.
  • What is a typical palm oil milling process flow?
  • The typical palm oil milling process flow is best described through a series of activities conducted in different stations (Figure 2). It all begins with the transportation of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) from plantation sites to the palm oil mills.
  • Why do palm oil mills use dual utilization?
  • This dual utilization underscores the resource efficiency within palm oil mills. The digestion and pressing stations represent the core of the palm oil milling process, where palm oil is extracted from the fruits.
  • Can small scale palm oil processing be used in West and Central Africa?
  • Sophisticated large scale technologies, on the other hand, are generally beyond the financial reach of the rural population. The present review aims at throwing more light on a third option: small scale or intermediate technologies for palm oil processing in West and Central Africa.
  • What products are produced during the milling process?
  • During the milling process, by-products, such as palm pressed fibre (PPF), palm kernel shell (PKS), emptyfruit bunch (EFB), decanter cake (DC) and palm oil mill effluent (POME) are generated. Both CPO and CPKO will be further refined into various products (e.g. edible oil, stearine, lubricant, etc.) in refinery.
  • How can we improve the processing of palm oil?
  • processing technologies. The governments of West and Central African countries could think of a research post-harvest and processing equipment and technologies. A possible easy way of doing this in the palm oil improved local facilities for the processing of FFBs at the small-scale level. This will demand that adequate
