• How does hydrogenation make palm oil a solid?
  • Hydrogenation turns oil from a liquid into a solid or semi-solid substance and makes the oil more stable: this is achieved by bonding a hydrogen atom with the double bonds of fatty acid chains. Hydrogenated palm oil is solid at room temperature and white in appearance. The oil is heated in a reactor, and mixed with Hydrogen and a nickel catalyst.

  • Why did Malaysian palm oil refiner Ban Dung invest in a centrifuge?
  • By investing in an Alfa Laval PANX 800 decanter centrifuge, Malaysian palm oil refiner Ban Dung has increased capacity while also reducing the level of product waste in their production. With improved energy efficiency, they have even achieved lower overall operational costs. Hear their story in this video.
  • What happens after hydrogenation of palm oil?
  • After hydrogenation, the catalyst is filtered out and the oil is cooled in a heat exchanger, producing refined bleached deodorized and hydrogenated palm oil. The H250 is a variable area flowmeter which indicates precisely the volumetric flow of gases such as hydrogen. The beauty of the H250 is its purely mechanical design.
