Oil extraction from oil palm empty fruit bunches with crystallization technique
Oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) are the common by-product of palm oil mills as in 2017 approximately 87.721 million tons of EFB were produced. This abundance of EFB causes several problems, including pollution and pest infestation, which have an impact on the well-being of the environment and h...

| description | Oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) are the common by-product of palm oil mills as in 2017 approximately 87.721
million tons of EFB were produced. This abundance of EFB causes several problems, including pollution and pest
infestation, which have an impact on the well-being of the environment and humanity. Due to this, research on EFB
has been conducted, demonstrating its capability to be a sustainable resource for derived products, such as bio-oil
and EFB fibre as composite filler. Research shows that processed EFB fibre contains 2-3% of residual oil but current
oil extraction methods require the use of either high temperature and/or high pressure. Existing methods require
high energy consumption and are unable to extract all residual oil within EFB. Therefore, a new EFB oil extraction
technique is proposed, based on the fundamental theory of crystallization as a separation method. This technique was
able to achieve reductions of 74.45 and 30.03% in the oil yield from processed EFB using liquid nitrogen and standard
refrigeration system as crystallization media, respectively. |
