• Which sterilization method is used in palm oil mill?
  • Sterilization is one of the keys processed in palm oil mill. Some new sterilization methods has been developed and modified, and the two most common methods that is used are continuous sterilizer and vertical sterilizer. There was no work reported before on comparison of performance between this two sterilizer.
  • What types of sterilizers are used in palm oil mills?
  • Various types of sterilizers are commonly used in palm oil mills, including horizontal batch sterilizers, vertical batch sterilizers, and continuous sterilizers. Each type has specific characteristics that influence its operation, although the fundamental principles remain consistent (Table 1).
  • Can value engineering reduce the cost of palm oil processing plant?
  • Research is carried out in the Palm Oil Processing Plant is being built. The import. This study describes the application of value engineering to fi nd the highest cost the factory can be reduced. Vertical sterilizer is kn own to be the largest c ost component f ollowed by the cost of the Valves and Hydraulic System Control Unit.
  • What is vertical sterilizer?
  • Vertical sterilizer is kn own to be the largest c ost component f ollowed by the cost of the Valves and Hydraulic System Control Unit. The company is currently vertical sterilizer capac ity 15 t ons fresh fruit bunches. The change in the quantity and capacity Hydraulic Systems us ed.
  • How is palm oil extracted from a clarifier tank?
  • The insoluble solids and water are settled to the bottom of the clarifier tank, while the crude palm oil is extracted from the top layer of the clarifier tank. The heavy oily sludge that settled at the bottom of the clarifier tank is sent to a decanter or a sludge separator to recover the remaining crude palm oil.
  • How is crude palm oil extracted?
  • The first step in extraction of crude palm oil is sterilization, where the FFB is subjected to heat treatment. The FFB is sterilized using pressurized steam at the pressure of 3 ¡Á 10 5 Pa and the temperature of 140 ¡ãC for 60¨C90 min (Pratap et al., 2010).
