  • palm oil refining processing plant oil refining processing
  • How is refined palm oil produced?
  • To produce refined palm oil (RPO), the objectionable impurities in the CPO are removed to obtain the required levels using two main methods: chemical or alkali refining and physical refining methods. Either of these is followed by fractionation as a final purification process to separate the oil into stearin and olein components.
  • What is the purpose of refining palm oil?
  • The purpose of refining is to process crude palm oil (CPO) into edible oil. Impurities and other compounds are removed during the process. Figure 2 illustrates the stages involved in palm oil manufacturing, from the plantation to the refining. Firstly, the CPO is extracted from palm fruit .
  • How is palm oil processed?
  • The fruit bunches are then transported to the processing facility for further processing. Extraction: The fruit bunches are sterilized, threshed, and pressed to extract the crude palm oil. This process involves a combination of mechanical and chemical processes and can vary depending on the specific equipment and techniques used.
  • What is the Physical refining of palm oil?
  • The physical refining of palm oil consists of two stages, namely, pretreatment and deodorization. Pretreatment involves degumming and bleaching processes. The aim of the process is to remove undesirable impurities. This aim is achieved when chemical compounds, phosphoric acid and bleaching earth are added in the process.
