The effect of CPO quality parameters (FFA, MandI, IV, PV, AV, DOBI and colour) on the refinery production efficiency

Free fatty ccid (FFA) content, 5% maximum, moisture and impurities (MandI), 0.25% maximum and iodine value (IV), 50 to 55, are the common contractual crude palm oil (CPO) quality parameters/specifications between the millers and the refiners. However, in the refinery other quality parameters are also detrimental to production efficiency. This includes the peroxide value (PV), anisidine value (AV), deterioration of beachibility index (DOBI) and colour. This paper attempts to explore in greater detail the contributions of these quality parameters on the production of refined, bleached and deodorized palm oil (RBDPO) and its derivatives (olein and stearin) by the refinery. This paper will also discuss the difficulties faced by the refinery when dealing with CPO which does not conform to the acceptable quality specifications.
