The second step is clarification tank.

The clarification tank has the special inner structure. Which makes the clean palm oil come out from the top, and dirty palm oil drop in the bottom. Even this part can remove some impurities, but there are still some tiny impurities in the crude palm oil.

The final step is vacuum dryer.

The above filtration steps only can remove the solid impurities in crude palm oil, can't remove the water in palm oil. So we need to use vacuum dryer to remove the water in the palm oil. Because if the crude palm oil contains water, the water will make the CPO go rancidity, this will result in palm oil be stored a short time. To protect the palm oil no oxidation, we need to use the vacuum dryer to dry palm oil.
