  • What is the drainage system in palm oil processing centres?
  • There is no organised drainage system in the palm oil processing centres except at the industrial mills. Waste water is disposed of in surrounding bushes. The traditional technologies exposed the processors to the vagaries of the weather and other operational hazards.
  • What are the disadvantages of palm oil processing in rural areas?
  • It is very probable that the location of many palm oil processing centres in rural areas is a major drawback to obtaining educated machine operators. The various types of digesters are easy to clean, and if proper storage is undertaken during off-season there are no problems with corrosion of equipment.
  • How is palm oil clarified?
  • The process of clarifying palm oil is yet to be mechanised amongst the rural processors. Automated clarifying systems were only sited in the industrial mills. Local processors employ the manual method of boiling crude oil in drums. The oil is poured into a metal drum placed on the fireplace and heated.
  • Should palm oil be used as lubricating oil?
  • Some operators use palm oil as lubricating oil which was claimed not to have adverse effect on the engine. This practise should not be encouraged because of the highly flammable nature of palm oil.
