  • How does a palm oil mill sterilize fresh fruit bundles?
  • In a palm oil mill, Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) must undergo sterilization before oil extraction. In a conventional industrial sterilization system, a boiler and a sterilizer performing the steaming are separated but connected with piping. This process consumes a very large amount of water.
  • Why is sterilization important in the palm oil mill process?
  • Poor sterilization might result in secondary oxidation, leading to the discoloration of palm kernel and decreased DOBI. Therefore, sterilization plays an important role in the palm oil mill process.
  • How to reduce water consumption in oil palm sterilization process?
  • This work's objective was to reduce the water consumption in the oil palm sterilization process by minimizing sterilization equipment and combining a boiler and a sterilizer into one unit. Palm FFB were sterilized using direct steaming in a mini sterilizer.
  • What types of sterilizers are used in palm oil mills?
  • Various types of sterilizers are commonly used in palm oil mills, including horizontal batch sterilizers, vertical batch sterilizers, and continuous sterilizers. Each type has specific characteristics that influence its operation, although the fundamental principles remain consistent ( Table 1 ).
  • How does water consumption affect a palm oil mill?
  • An empirical correlation of specific water consumption was constructed. In a palm oil mill, Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) must undergo sterilization before oil extraction. In a conventional industrial sterilization system, a boiler and a sterilizer performing the steaming are separated but connected with piping.
  • Why do we need a vertical sterilizer for oil palm fruit processing?
  • Because of the poor economy in Africa and Nigeria in particular, large-scale mill remain unaffordable. Hence to enhance productivity of oil palm, a vertical sterilizer was developed as one of the unit operations of a synchronized medium-scale oil palm fruit processing mill.
