Oil palm in the 2020s and beyond: challenges and solutions
Modern commercial oil palm cultivation began in Malaysia in 1917 (Basiron 2007) and over 88% of palm oil is still produced by Malaysia plus the neighbouring countries, Indonesia and Thailand (Statista 2020 ).

Empty Fruit BunchesPalm Press FibresOil Recovery from Palm Oil Mill EffluentTypically, a palm oil mill produces around 22 to 27% of EFB with respect to FFB (Aziz et al. 2015; Kramanandita et al. 2014; Mamat et al. 2017). EFB normally contain about 0.5% (wrt FFB) of residual oil. The residual oil in the EFB can be recovered through mechanical mean using a screw press, also known as an EFB press. The pressing process introdu...

Strategies to Promote Biogas Generation and Utilisation from Palm Oil
Palm oil mills generate a large amount of wastewater, known as palm oil mill effluent, during the production of crude palm oil. The high organic contents in palm oil mill effluent have an excellent potential for biogas utilisation. Besides, such effluent must be further treated before discharge or reused in milling processes. In this respect, an integrated biogas and wastewater treatment

A new conceptual process design and economic analysis of a ... - Springer
This study aims to identify the feasibility of a conceptual process design and economic analysis of using palm oil to produce fatty acids and glycerine. The objective of this project is to obtain an annual production of 150 kilo tonnes of fatty acids with a purity of 99% and 50 kilo tonnes of glycerine with a purity of 99.7%. In this study, the analysis of the engineering technologies and the
