From the offloading bay, the FFB fall into cages on a rail system.
These cages are pulled into a horizontal steriliser, where during a
90 minutes steaming process, the fruits are sterilised to prevent
further acidification of the oil.
The cages with sterilised fruit bunches are emptied into a bunch
hopper that feeds the thresher (bunch stripper) where the fruits
are separated from the bunches. Thereafter the loose fruits are
conveyed to a digester and then to a screw press. At the press, the
palm oil is pressed out of the fruits. The oil goes to the
de-sanding and decanting tanks, while cake, also containing the
palm nuts, is conveyed to the palm kernel recovery station.
The empty fruit bunches (EFB) are recycled in the plantation.
When the oil leaves the screw press it contains water, sand and
impurities. During a process of static de-sanding and decanting,
most of the impurities in the oil are removed in a centrifugal oil
purifier. The last traces of oil in the effluent are recovered in a
centrifugal sludge separator.
Now the crude palm oil (CPO) is ready for storage and further
processing in the refinery and fractionation plant. There it is
processed into refined bleached deodorised oil (RBDO) and palm
fatty acid distillate (PFAD). RBDO is then fractionated into palm
olein and stearin.
