  • What is palm oil refining industry?
  • The palm oil refining industry has witnessed a commendable growth in recent decades and thus, has emerged as one of the vital manufacturing sectors in the world. Further, it has gradually become the most abundant traded vegetable oil in the world, owing to the growing demand.
  • Does palm oil need a refining process?
  • However, the crude palm oil that has been extracted contains unwanted impurities and requires a refining process to partially or eliminate them to produce edible oil. In the current scenario, palm oil is widely used in tropical countries in South East Asia, Africa, and parts of Brazil for cooking purposes.
  • Which country produces the most crude palm oil in the world?
  • Malaysia is the largest exporter and producer of crude palm oil in the world. The crude palm oil is gathered from the mesocarp of the palm oil. However, the crude palm oil that has been extracted contains unwanted impurities and requires a refining process to partially or eliminate them to produce edible oil.
  • Where is palm oil used?
  • In the current scenario, palm oil is widely used in tropical countries in South East Asia, Africa, and parts of Brazil for cooking purposes. Further, due to its low costs and oxidative stability, palm oil has grown popular in these regions.
  • 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.
  • Why is palm oil so popular?
  • Further, due to its low costs and oxidative stability, palm oil has grown popular in these regions. As mentioned before, crude palm oil that is extracted contains impurities that require a refining process to improve the quality, physical appearance, oxidative stability, and other properties.
