Physical refinery: (a) degumming and bleaching

  • Why do Nigerian refineries use palm kernel oil?
  • More than 60% of refineries in Nigeria are built on palm kernel oil as raw materials. This is because processing of palm kernel oil involves degumming, bleaching, deodorization, cooling, and packaging. This product is liquid at ambient conditions except during the rainy season when the product congeals due to low temperatures (<20°C).
  • 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.
  • Can palm oil refineries use empty fruit bunch fiber as biomass fuel?
  • The drive for sustainability has inspired palm oil refineries to use palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) fiber and palm kernel shell (PKS) as biomass fuels. Their usage, however, poses various challenges such as entanglement of fibers and blockage of fuel flow, as well as the tendency of PKS to form clinker in furnace.
  • Where does palm oil come from?
  • The fruit of the palm tree Elaeis guineensis is the source of two distinctively different oil types. Palm oil is obtained from the mesocarp of the palm fruit; the outer pulp contains kernels that are the source of palm kernel oil.
