  • What is palm kernel oil?
  • Palm kernel oil is an edible plant oil derived from the kernel of the oil palm tree Elaeis guineensis. [ 1] It is related to two other edible oils: palm oil, extracted from the fruit pulp of the oil palm, and coconut oil, extracted from the kernel of the coconut. [ 2]
  • 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.
  • How does a palm kernel oilcake work?
  • The expelled kernel oil flows through the slots distributed over the barrel circumference. The oilcake leaves the extraction machine through an adjustable cone and is then delivered to the second pressing Because of their high oil content, Palm kernels have to be subjected to 2 stage pressing for maximum oil yield.
  • How is palm oil processed?
  • At the mills, the bunches are graded and processed. The first step in the process is sterilization of the fruit bunches which also serves to deactivate enzymes. The mills employ various process steps to produce crude palm oil while also removing the palm kernels.
  • What is the whole oil palm value chain?
  • The whole oil palm value chain covers the growing and production of FFB in plantations, extracting CPO and palm kernel and PKO in palm oil mills and kernel crushing plants, and producing various types of refined palm and palm kernel oil products and blends for edible and non-edible applications.
  • How are palm kernels used?
  • Palm kernels are subsequently dried and stored, ready to be dispatched to kernel crushing plants. Palm kernel shells and pressed mesocarp fibers find utility as solid fuel feedstock for the steam boiler. Palm oil mills are typically self-sufficient in energy generation due to the ample availability of biomass.
