Optimize Palm Oil Refining Quality

Job ID: 40278858

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

I need an experienced palm-oil technologist to help me raise the purity and improve the chemical profile of my crude palm oil by fine-tuning the existing refining line.

My current production meets basic food-grade standards, but I want a cleaner product with lower FFA, peroxide, and trace metal levels so it competes with premium brands. The focus is strictly on refining process optimization—no changes to raw-material sourcing or additive blends at this stage.

What I need from you
• Audit of my present degumming, neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization steps (P&IDs, temperatures, residence times, vacuum levels, etc.)
• Data-driven recommendations for parameter tweaks or equipment upgrades that can realistically be implemented on my line
• Predicted targets for FFA, DOBI, PV, and colour index after the improvements
• A concise SOP and flow diagram showing the revised process, with any required chemical specs and QC checkpoints
• Remote support to clarify the plan with my plant team once the report is delivered

Experience with palm-oil refineries, edible-oil chemistry, and food-safety standards (e.g., MPOB, ISO 22000) is essential. If you have run pilot trials or installed deodorisers, please highlight that—those insights will speed up adoption on my side.

I can supply recent lab analyses, throughput figures, and equipment lists as soon as we begin. Let’s make my palm oil cleaner, safer, and ready for higher-value markets.
