Separation enhancement of palm kernel by its specific gravity and flow rate of clay water bath

In palm oil industry,there are two major product obtained from palm oil fruit the palm oil and the palm oil kernel. Palm oil kernel is obtained from the Fresh Fruit Bunches after the pressing of the fruits.The leftover from the press was a mixture of fiber and nuts.After separating the fiber and nut...
