Dear Mr. Frank, I am Rahmat from Indonesia, I just started running mini plant for Palm oil refinery, My problem is that I always have a problem with Bleaching process, using activated clay. bentonit/carbon I always fail to have a good color eg(yellow), Its always red.. A friend from china said that they have liquid to decolorising the CPO?, but reluctant to give the name of that liquid... Any idea what is tha liquid (chemist) are please?

Dear FP: Thanks for your kind response (nr. 805). The service is much appreciated. If possible, please advise the price difference between CPO and Degummed Palm Oil. A rough price idea of both items prevailing last week for spot buying would be sufficient. This is to gather an idea of the cost of such value addition on CPO.

May i ask any of your assistance to direct me to the right people or organizations responsible of Palm Oil plantation. My clan/tribe has a vast area of land that can accomodate from 200 hectares and more and ready for use. It is located in the north of Mindanao Philipines and with soo much opportunities our tribe can offer. Am looking forward to hear anything from any of intrested parties. Thanks in advance. I am from Australia.

What is the specific heat capacity of palm kernel oil?

Dear Mr. Pantzaris, I obtain your name via the “Palm Oil.com website. I am consultant here in the USA. I have been doing some work for a client regarding the use of an organic product that can assist in reducing/eliminating the Palm Oil tree of its attack by disease and nsects that affect its growth and yield. Can you tell me the average number of Palm Oil plants that are planted in a hectare. I know that the terrain is a factor, but I am only looking for an average number if it exist. Thank you advance for your assistance in my question. Sincerely, Moses

Dear Frank, I am working for a large Indian biscuit manufacturer and we consume sufficient quantities of RPO. In a bid to control the cost of RPO, we are trying to understand the entire value chain of this industry. Our suppliers mostly import CPO from Indonesia (marked to BMD prices). While we have a fair understanding of the production and refining processes, we have very little knowledge of how sea-freight is managed and the basis for pricing the same. Our sole interest is in understanding the factors that affect cost sea freight (per tonne of CPO) and how we can build a model to price this to ensure greater transparency. It would be utmost helpful if you could throw some light in this regard or even better, if we could have a brief call with you on this. Also, as we have negotiation meetings scheduled with our suppliers next week, we would be grateful to you if you could reply at the earliest possible. Looking forward to your reply. Thank you.

Dear Mr. Frank, I am General Manager of a hong kong based trading company working in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. At present we are planning to sell some bio-diesel plants / Solvent extraction plants /Refineries ( from european supplier) to bangladesh (it is our first initiative in this sector).Following are some information on this sector: 1) Bangladesh government not yet permitted bio-diesel production but within 2-3 years there is a probability of taking decision on this issue by the govt. 2) There are huge demand of feed items major raw materials of which is soybean and palm kernel speller. 3) soybean production is in very limited districts and bulk quantities imported from india and china. MY QUESTIONS ARE: 1) How and among what type of companies we have to run motivation campaign so that when govt will give permission for bio-diesel production, they will get advantages or be able to set up plant easily. 2) What is the probability of introducing solvent extraction plant among feed companies who are not doing any oil business. 3) On which sides whould we consider strongly so that europian supplier can supply plants competitively here with indian and malaysian plant suppliers. Hoping to rcv your valuable comments, ANOWAR

Dear sir, I am a law student from Malaysia. For my case study and argument purposes, I need to know whether there is any differences between using palm oil and corn oil in neutralizing toxic levels in a plant extract. Is it possible that perhaps corn oil is more effective. Can I know the differences in the effectiveness between palm oil and corn oil, does palm oil render more health disadvantages then corn oil? Thank you very much.

How much palm kernel oil is lost during the refining process from crude?

Due to poor construction, the base of RBD Palm Oil Storage tank is not well leveled and this leads to be unable to take out all the oil in the tanks. Steam is used during the process of discharge from tanker into the storage tanks and the result is the condensation of part of the steam in the base by this the quality of the oil deteriorates and acidity is increased. To rectify the situation, we have the intention of cementing the base of the storage tanks and add a layer of ceramics. Please advise whether the above procedure would have any adverse effect on the quality of the RBD Palm Oil.
