  • 20t/d palm oil refining
  • How is palm oil reprocessed?
  • The first step of crude palm oil and palm kernel oil physical refining is the degumming, which consists of the removal of the phosphatides. When this content is low, as is the case for these oils, the dry degumming is the common way.
  • What is chemical refining of palm oil?
  • When starting with very good quality crude palm oil (low FFA and high DOBI), chemical refining is able to purify the oil so effectively that the bleaching step can be skipped or performed with very small amounts of non-activated bleaching earths or with silica.
  • What is the difference between crude palm and palm kernel oil?
  • The quality of fully refined palm and palm kernel oils is completely inseparable from the quality of the crude oils. As said before, the high acidity of crude palm and palm kernel oils places physical refining as the first option.
  • What is the iodine value of palm kernel oil?
  • This typical composition of palm kernel oil is reflected in its iodine value (IV: 16¨C19), which is significantly less compared to palm oil (IV: 51¨C53). In consequence of high acidity in the crude oils, both palm and palm kernel oils have relatively high diacylglycerol levels.
