• 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.
  • Does palm oil milling improve OER?
  • Based on the world production of palm oil in 2018, approximately 3 million tonnes of additional palm oil can be produced globally with a 1% increase in OER. In this paper, the current status of the palm oil milling process and the factors affecting the OER are discussed. Subsequently, the methods to improve the OER are reviewed.
  • What is a typical palm oil milling process flow?
  • The typical palm oil milling process flow is best described through a series of activities conducted in different stations (Figure 2). It all begins with the transportation of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) from plantation sites to the palm oil mills.
