Henan Doing Company recently successfully commissioned a major 100 tons per day (100tpd) fully continuous palm oil refining and fractionation plant in Kenya. This large-scale turnkey project encompassed comprehensive services from initial factory layout and equipment manufacturing to on-site installation, debugging, and final commissioning. Based on this benchmark project, we have also produced the following 3D process flow video, which clearly demonstrates its advanced physical refining technology.
This 100tpd fully continuous palm oil refining and fractionation plant project integrates advanced physical palm oil refining and fractionation equipment, forming a complete processing line.
Refining Section: The core processes of the palm oil refining plant include dry degumming, decolorization, continuous deacidification and deodorization. It utilizes a series of high-efficiency equipment, including degumming tank, phosphoric acidtank, bleaching tank, leaf filter, heat exchanger, thermal oil heater and deodorization towers etc, ensuring the stable refining of crude palm oil into high-standard RBDPO (Refined, Bleached, and Deodorized Palm Oil).

Fractionation Section: The refined RBDPO enters the palm oil fractionation plant, where it is separated into palm olein and palm stearin with different melting points through cooling crystallization equipment and high-efficiency filters, significantly increasing product added value.
Refined palm oil fractionation plant
To guarantee consistent product quality, the palm oil refining and fractionation plant project included a fully equipped oil laboratory. This essential facility allows for real-time monitoring and adjustment of the production process by testing key parameters of both raw materials and finished products. The laboratory is outfitted with professional instruments such as a colorimeter (for color analysis), smoke point tester, rapidmoisture meter, titration apparatus, and other supporting equipment, ensuring every batch of oil meets stringent standards.
Laboratory equipment
The execution of this 100tpd fully continuous palm oil refining and fractionation plant project was a coordinated, multi-phase effort:
Manufacturing & Delivery: All palm oil refining and fractionation equipment were manufactured at Henan Doing Company's facility. Due to the large volume and size of the equipment, delivery was managed through simultaneous shipments from both the factory and the port to ensure timely logistics to Kenya.

On-Site Installation & Debugging: This was a complex, five-month installation process managed by a dedicated team from Henan Doing, including engineers, a site manager, welders, and a translator. Key installation steps included:
(1) Acceptance and inspection of materials (e.g., pipes, pumps, valves, reducers, etc.).
(2) Precise palm oil refining and fractionation equipment placement according to engineering drawings.
(3) Construction of operating platforms and comprehensive pipeline connection.
(4) Rigorous pipeline leak testing.
(5) Electrical installation for system commissioning.

The installation officially started on December 1, 2017, and was successfully completed with palm oil refining and fractionation plant commissioning on May 1, 2018.
The end products of this advanced palm oil refining and fractionation plant—refined palm oil, palm olein, and palm stearin—are widely used globally in cooking and food manufacturing. They serve as key ingredients in cooking oil, crispy fats, and margarine.
In summary, the success of the 100tpd fully continuous palm oil refining and fractionation plant project in Kenya demonstrates Henan Doing’s rich experience and execution strength in the field of large-scale palm oil refining and fractionation plants. We can not only provide core palm oil refining equipment (such as deodorization towers) and fractionation equipment (such as crystallization tanks), but also deliver full solutions from planning to operation.
