Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD)

PFAD

Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) is made from refining crude palm oil. It is used for many industries such as soap industries, animal food industries and also is used as raw materials for bio-diesel and chemical industries. When extracted, Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) produces Vitamin E which has large purposes in many fields, especially health. Chromatographic separation process of vitamin E adsorption gives a better control.

Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) is a by-product of crude palm oil refinery plant. Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) is taken as distillate of stripping tower of FFA. Crude palm oil main product is refined bleach and deodorized palm oil. They are fractionated into RDB olein and stearin fractions by cooling down process and filter pressing process. The main component of Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) is free fatty acids, which are oleic, stearic and palmitic.

The FFA stripping tower has good efficiency process if it content in Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) is high while triglycerides are low. Since Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) contains mainly fatty acids and other impurities, its quality is less stable so that it needs short storage. This is the reason why fresh Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) is more preferred to purchase; otherwise bio-diesel quality that is resulted could be affected.
