  • What is engineered palm oil refinery?
  • From an engineered palm oil refinery perspective, the micro-scale fundamental understanding lies in the development of nanomaterials (i.e. activated carbon, graphite, single atom biomass-based catalyst, and organic solvent) using the residues of oil palm such as palm kernel shell (PKS), empty fruit bunch (EFB), and mesocarp fibre (MF).
  • What does a chemical engineer do in the palm oil industry?
  • This is evident in the downstream oleochemical sector where the majority of chemical engineers in the palm oil industry work. Chemical engineers here apply their knowledge and skills to make the processes safer, more sustainable and energy efficient as well as upscale and design from R&D breakthroughs.
  • What is chemical refining of palm oil?
  • When starting with very good quality crude palm oil (low FFA and high DOBI), chemical refining is able to purify the oil so effectively that the bleaching step can be skipped or performed with very small amounts of non-activated bleaching earths or with silica.
  • What are palm based oleochemicals?
  • Palm-based oleochemicals are produced from refined palm oil, palm stearin that has been produced from fractionated palm oil, refined palm kernel oil, crude palm kernel oil, and palm fatty acid distillate. There are five basic oleochemicals: fatty acids, fatty alcohols, fatty methyl ester, fatty amines, and glycerine.
