  • What is a sterilizer in a palm oil mill?
  • ... Among all CPO processing machinery, only sterilizer has a diversity in design. Sterilization is one of the key processes in the palm oil mill that uses a lot of steam to prevent the release of Free Fatty Acid (FFA) in CPO .
  • 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 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 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.
  • How do palm oil mills work?
  • It all begins with the transportation of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) from plantation sites to the palm oil mills. The milling operation includes several stages, namely reception, sterilization, threshing, digestion and pressing, clarification and purification, and kernel recovery.
  • How to improve productivity of oil palm fruit processing mill?
  • 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. In this synchronized mill, fresh oil palm fruits were sterilized using developed sterilizer (pressure vessel) that was coupled with fire-in-tube boiler.
