Oil Palm on Peat: A path to (inevitable) disaster
Oil palm cultivation on peatlands is seen as an attractive option for many plantation developers in Southeast Asia. Not only is the land extensively available, the soils – despite the poor soil fertility – are somehow “working” for oil palm cultivation. Peatlands can therefore be perceived as lucrative and attractive for expansion of oil palm plantations. So why then is ...

Palm Kernel Processing Plant
Palm kernel oil (PKO) is has very similar compositions and properties as coconut oil. It is a kind of co-product of palm oil production. With the fast growth of palm oil, palm kernel oil will replace coconut oil as the main resource of lauric acid. Palm Fruit Oil Vs Palm Kernel Oil The chemical properties and physical properties of these two oils are very different. They also have different ...

Goldtree (S.L) Limited - Case Study
If Sierra Leone is now a leading producer of palm oil, it is because the oil palm grows abundantly in the tropical climate of West Africa. And yet, despite its 24,000 hectares of oil palm and 185,000 farmers owning palms, palm oil is still being imported to meet all the country’s needs. One of the main reasons for this situation is that the country is still recovering after a long civil war ...

Optimised treatment of Palm Oil Mill Effluent
In this paper, we study experimentally the problem of separating oil from the oil?water emulsion that emulates Palm Oil Mills Effluent (POME). The investigations are focused on the effects of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and treatment conditions, e.g., operating temperature and magnetic stirring, on the separation process. The experiment results reveal that a higher flotation rate of oil is achieved ...

Aviro M120 Drone: Encouraging palm oil plantation surveillance
Palm oil is an essential ingredient in many products such as soap, cosmetics, and food. No wonder palm oil has high selling power. Palm oil can grow well in the tropics, so many palm oil plantations in Indonesia and Malaysia. The condition of the plantation, which is located in forestry with thousands of hectares and there are gaps around the plantations, allows unwanted activities to occur, such ...

Utilising waste activated sludge from a palm oil mill effluent treatment plant to remove methylene blue in continuous column studies
The Waste Activated Sludge (WAS) discharged during the aerobic treatment of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) was used to produce a low cost adsorbent for the removal of Methylene Blue (MB) from aqueous solution. This study employed a continuous process in a column packed with WAS as the adsorbent. The adsorption data fits Thomas and Yoon–Nelson model better compared to Adams–Bohart model under ...

Modelling the palm kernel oil extraction process in a hot-water medium
The physical process was modelled to create understanding and better assess the performance of a palm kernel oil extraction system. Mathematical models were developed to describe the extraction of palm kernel oil in hot-water from the comminuted particles. The models developed included parameters such as particle size, moisture content and charge ratio, all as a function of time. Experimental ...

Oil Palm Fiber
Oil palm fiber is produced from empty fruit bunch that is considered waste after the extraction of oil palm fruits. During the manufacturing process of palm fiber, EFB( empty fruit bunches) are shredded, separated, refined, and dried. The manufacturing process does not involve a chemical process or exposure. Hence the palm fiber is clean and non-toxic. Palm fiber is mainly used in the ...

Mitigating climate change through oil palm cultivation
Oil palm requires 7-11 times less land area than soyabean, rapeseed and sunflower to produce the same amount of oil. Therefore, the use of palm oil for food and biofuel, has saved 97-159 million ha of land from being deforested for cultivation with lower yielding oil crops. This has avoided 27-45 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2-e) emissions. Oil palm also sequesters eight times more CO2 ...

The role of heat exchangers in sustainable palm oil processing
Palm oil is the most important and widely used oil and fat product in the world and demand continues to increase globally. However, in response to concerns around sustainability and deforestation, a number of palm oil producers are using heat exchangers to increase the environmental credentials of their production methods, and improve their overall productivity. In order to address ...

How Palm Oil Is Extracted
The usual plant oil extraction and separation process (e.g. olive or palm oil, tea seed oil, etc.) involves the extraction of oil-bearing plant parts (seeds, fruits, skins) that are squeezed and milled. The vegetable oils contained therein are collected and purified by centrifugal separation technology. The palm oil production process is divided into three main parts: pressing, refining and ...

How to Identify Degraded Land for Sustainable Palm Oil in Indonesia
Palm oil production in Indonesia has the potential to generate local benefits if oil palm cultivation expansion follows sustainable planning and management practices, including respect for local interests and rights. Potential benefits include increased incomes, profits, and government revenues, reduced poverty, and improved natural resource management. Whether this potential is achieved will ...

Palm oil processing in Malaysia - Case Study
Application Biogas from palm oil Equipment GA3000, now superseded by the GA3000 PLUS Location Malaysia Customer EnviroEquip Requirement A biogas monitoring system was required to monitor the raw biogas being produced, and to then monitor the biogas after it has been processed in a desulphurisation unit. The site uses 2 x GA3000s for this purpose. Operation The site was originally set ...

Production of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) by Ralstonia eutropha JMP 134 with volatile fatty acids from palm oil mill effluent as precursors
The highest volatile fatty acids (VFAs) concentration from palm oil mill effluent (POME) treated by anaerobic fermentation was achieved for a 1-day process when the main acids used were acetic, propionic and butyric acids. Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production with VFAs from POME as precursors in the fed-batch mode has advantages over batch mode, both in terms of its productivity and 3HV ...

Can Latin America do palm oil right?
As western hemisphere oil palm plantations boom, environmentalists eye ways to avoid repeating the devastation in Southeast Asia. What do soap, Ben & Jerry’s and Kit Kat bars have in common? They all contain palm oil — produced by the oil palm tree. Native to West Africa, oil palm has been planted throughout the tropics to provide a source of this increasingly in-demand ...
