Malaysia is the world’s second largest palm oil producer. In 2018, a total of 19.52 million tonnes of crude palm oil (CPO) was produced from 97.8 million tonnes of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) processed by 451 palm oil mills (Kushairi et al., 2019). At the same time, palm oil mill effluent (POME), a wastewater stream was also abundantly generated at about 64 million tonnes.

Effect of Double Roll Crusher Complete with Preheating on Bruising Level and Free Fatty (FFA) Acid Content of Oil Palm Fruit Bunches

In conventional milling process, fresh fruit bunches (FFB) is sterilised using pressurised batch steriliser utilises 40-45 PSI saturated. The heating condition is crucial to ensure adequate steam penetration into inner layers of the compact bunches in order to duly condition the fruitlets. The sterilisation process usually needs 90-120 min and prolonged heating induces adverse effect […]
