Palm oil is the most traded vegetable oil in the world today and has been used as a dietary constituent for nearly five thousand years. Palm oil is obtained from the mesocarp of the Elaeis guineensis fruit, simply by cooking, mashing and pressing. In this process, the seeds are separated and after cracking and removing the shell, the kernel can be processed to yield palm kernel oil and palm kernel cake. Crude palm oil is obtained from the mesocarp of fresh fruit bunches. It is an orange liquid and semi-solid at room temperature, melting to a clear red-orange liquid on slight heating. Crude palm oil can be refined and further fractionated to widen its application. The following specifications are defined for export purposes:

Cooking oil, after being used three times, can cause heart diseases and cancer. However, what’s the point of throwing the oil away? Pouring used cooking oil into sink and drain will cause environmental pollutions, cling the insides of pipes and sewer system cause high cost of cleaning or else endangered marine’s life.
When you take your used oil to a certified centre for recycling, you are protecting the environment, conserving a valuable resource, and getting paid for it. That's a winning combination!
You can reduce the amount of public dollars spent on clean-ups the oil-clogged drains. Less filth means less chance of pests and rodents to breed and ultimately it keeps the drains and rivers clean, which means healthier living for everyone.
Recycling your used cooking oil creates jobs, reduces waste, saves money, improves air quality, and creates clean energy in our local communities.

Details :

• Recycling creates clean energy - the biodiesel
• Recycling saves our environment & marine’s life
• Recycling saves our society - save public dollars spent to clean the drains
• Recycling save your cost of cleaning pipes and sewer system
• Recycling saves our natural resources
• Recycling saves our children
• Getting paid for it

The crushing of palm kernels produces crude palm kernel oil (CPKO) and palm kernel expeller (PKE). It is very similar to coconut oil in that it has a high percentage of lauric acid which allows it to produce hard soaps with good lather. Palm Kernel Oil is therefore a cost-effective substitute for Crude Coconut Oil in the production of quality soaps. Palm Kernel Oil is part of a group of Lauric Oils, which is largely used by the oleochemical industry for the production of cleaning agents and detergents.
