Dear Mr. Frank, My name is eko, currently I am doing heating coil sizing calculation for Crude Palm Oil (CPO) storage tank. I want to conform to you for the basis that I considered: 1. Heating time = 8 degC/day, is it ok ? 2. Initial temperature of CPO = 41 degC, is it ok ? 3. Is it ok if I consider 3 days heating time for 3000, 1500, and 500 m3 of CPO storage tank capacity? thank you for your advise.

By using blended of PS and PO in producing stearic acid, we found that its colour and heating stability is higher rather than by using pure PS.
Could you advise me why it could happen? Thank a lot.

We are a small manufacturer of handmade natural soaps, originally established in Viet Nam and now setting up in Malaysia. Previously we were using RBD Palm in our recipes, and in Malaysia I find that the only source I have easy access to is RBD Palm Olein which is primarily used as a cooking oil.
Can RBD Palm Olein be used for soap making, and what differences are there likely to be when compared to RBD Palm?
