| description | The objective of this study is to improve the conventional milling process in palm oil
processing by replacing the function of the current used horizontal sterilizer with a
Continuous Cooker. A trial study of Continuous Cooker was conducted and results
showed that the cooker operated for 55 minutes using low pressure steam of 1 bar and
cooking temperature of 98°C. At these operating conditions, the cooker was capable of
carrying out the functions of a horizontal batch sterilizer by achieving most of the
conventional sterilization purposes. This was proven by the results obtained from trial
runs and laboratory analysis conducted on the equipment and its samples. |
