Palm Oil Fractionation Plant: Produce Valuable Palm Olein and Stearin from Refined Palm Oil

This video showcases a palm oil fractionation plant and explains how refined palm oil can be further processed into two commercially valuable fractions: palm olein and palm stearin.

For palm oil producers and refinery investors, fractionation provides an opportunity to increase product value by separating palm oil into products with different market applications. Palm olein is one of the most widely used edible oils worldwide, with strong demand in Southeast Asia, West Africa, and South Asia. Palm stearin serves as an important raw material for industries such as margarine, shortening, soap, and biodiesel production.

Through the palm oil fractionation process, refined palm oil is separated based on the different melting points of its components. High-melting-point components crystallize into solid palm stearin, while low-melting-point components remain as liquid palm olein.

In this video, you will learn about the key stages of palm oil fractionation, including crystal breaking, cooling and crystallization, and filtration, and how a well-designed fractionation system helps achieve stable production and maximize the value of final products.

Henan Glory provides customized palm oil fractionation solutions with processing capacities ranging from 1 to 1200 TPD, helping palm oil producers and investors develop suitable solutions for upgrading refined palm oil into higher-value products.
