  • What is crude palm kernel oil (cpko)?
  • Crude palm kernel oil (CPKO) is vegetable oil obtained from the inner part of palm fruit without bleaching or refining process. Using CPKO as raw material for the production of biofuel certainly helps improve the economic performance of the process.
  • What is rbdpko oleochemical product?
  • The purpose of this article explains how the substitution of raw materials from CPKO (Crude Palm Kernel Oil) into RBDPKO (Refined Bleached Deodorized Palm Kernel Oil) is carried out to produce several variants of oleochemical products such as D810, Lauric Acid, Myristic Acid and Oleic Acid.
  • How cpko is used to produce oleochemical products?
  • Splitting and fractionation process were carried out using previous standard operation condition used to produce oleochemical products with CPKO. The parameters analyzed were Degree of Splitting (DOS), color (APHA & Lovibond), Titre, Carbon Composition (GC), Moisture & Impurities, Iodine Value, Acid Value and Cloud Point (for Oleic Acid).
  • How is palm kernel oil extracted?
  • The process of extracting the palm kernel oil is through mechanical pressing. The output of seed extraction is the crude palm kernel oil (CPKO). This is dark yellow in color with several percentage of solid fraction content in it. This palm kernel oil solidifies in the cold climates and becomes extremely difficult to handle in such condition.
