The refining of palm oil improves the production of palm oil and its quality. It is a process to extract oil from crude palm oil (CPO) into an edible form. Before the refining process is conducted, CPO needs to be extracted from palm oil fruits. Figure 1 illustrates the production stages for CPO. Figure 1. Flow of crude palm oil production [ 1 ].
Why is Physical refining preferred for palm oil?
For crude palm oil with low phosphatides, high initial acidity and high carotenoid content, physi-cal refining is preferred in terms of operating costs and refining losses. Most of natural oils have only a limited application in their original form, as a consequence of their specific chemical com-position.
How does a palm oil mill work?
Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. A palm oil mill produces crude palm oil, crude palm kernel oil and other biomass from fresh fruit bunches. Although the milling process is well established in the industry, insufficient research and development reported in optimising and analysing the operations of a palm oil mill.
Why do we need automation in small scale palm oil processing?
This project work has established the need for automation in small scale palm oil processing. It materials and also improves the quality, accuracy and precision of the various processing steps. In the end, good quality palm oil is produced for domestic and commercial usage. and a cleaner oil output. Ataga, D.O., Ilechie, C.O., &Omoti, U. 1993.
