  • What is palm kernel oil extraction & refining?
  • Palm kernel oil (PKO) extraction and refining techniques involves operations such as sorting of kernels, handling, mechanical pressing, filtration of crude oil, thermal, chemical and physical treatment of crude oil to obtain desired edible oil that suits variety of applications.
  • 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).
  • Why are palm-based oleochemicals in high demand?
  • Palm-based oleochemicals are in high demand because of the wide range of applications that are possible with palm and palm kernel oil due to their versatile and durable chemical profiles. The availability and competitive pricing of palm oil has also driven the demand for palm oil, as global population grows.
  • How much does palm kernel oil cost?
  • At palm kernel oil: palm oil blending ratio of 80:20, 70:30, and 60:40, savings in raw material cost is 2.2%, 3.3%, and 4.4%, respectively, and this amounts to $960,000; $7,596,774; and $7,636,708, respectively, for a 100-tonnes per day refinery operated at 60% capacity utilization.
