Palm oil refining industry explores new strategies for cost reduction

As the global demand for sustainable palm oil production grows, refiners are looking for new ways to reduce the cost of palm oil refiners while maintaining product quality and reducing environmental impact. Here are some key strategies:

1. Improve refining rate: The refining rate is the main factor affecting refining costs. By optimizing process flows and improving operating skills, refiners can increase refining rates, thereby reducing the cost per unit of product.

2. Reduce auxiliary material consumption: The consumption of auxiliary materials such as liquid alkali, phosphoric acid, citric acid, clay and diesel is part of the refining cost. Refiners are looking for more economical ways to use materials to reduce this part of the cost.

3. Reduce energy consumption: The consumption of water, electricity and steam accounts for a considerable part of the cost in the refining process. Energy costs can be significantly reduced by adopting energy-saving technologies and equipment, and recycling waste heat from the production process.

4. Labor costs and production management: Improvements in automation and production management can reduce reliance on labor and improve production efficiency, thereby reducing labor costs.

5. Circular bioeconomy: Malaysia's palm oil industry has adopted a circular bioeconomy approach, which aims to reduce production costs, reduce negative impacts on the environment, and conserve resources through efficient resource utilization and waste minimization.

6. Optimizing energy use: By investing in efficient energy systems and adopting energy-saving equipment, refiners can significantly reduce energy costs while reducing energy waste.

7. Improving production processes: Introducing automated systems and real-time monitoring, adjusting production processes through data analysis, reducing waste, and improving production efficiency, which not only helps cost control but also improves product quality.

8. Environmental and social responsibility: While pursuing cost reduction, refiners also realize the importance of considering environmental and social responsibilities. Balance technological needs and economic growth through sustainable production practices while protecting the environment and supporting local communities.

With the implementation of these strategies, the palm oil refining industry is moving towards a more efficient and environmentally friendly future, which not only helps to improve the competitiveness of enterprises, but also contributes to the establishment of a global sustainable palm oil supply chain.
