Our history

Get to know us

This product is suitable for both old and new palm oil mills with minimal retrofits and process changes. It&#039;s delivered via an applicator system to ensure proper mixing. That gives you the ease of a plug and play solution with the reassurance that you&#039;re getting optimal enzyme performance.

Minimal retrofitting, plug and play solution

The cell walls of the palm fruit mesocarp contain oil bound in hemicellulose matrices. This oil is inaccessible in traditional processing. This product softens and breaks down the matrices. That increases cell wall rupture during digestion and screw pressing. The result is lower oil loss and a higher extraction rate for your mill.

Higher oil extraction rate

Efficient separation of oil-water-sludge emulsions means higher oil recovery rates. This product lowers viscosity to improve oil-water separation. That has the potential to boost your recovery rates.

Less emulsification

By allowing you to cut your hot dilution water use, this product reduces effluent generation in the clarification process. The result is lower palm oil mill effluent (POME) loads for your mill.

Lower effluent loads

This product reduces the viscosity of undiluted crude palm oil for a range of process benefits. By helping you optimize your mill&#039;s process, it boosts your bottom line.

Lower viscosity

With this product, you need significantly less hot dilution water. That&#039;s because it reduces viscosity in undiluted crude palm oil.

Lower water usage

This product could potentially result in a 4% reduction in land use for every kilogram of crude palm oil you produce. This is according to a third-party, peer-reviewed life cycle assessment.

Reduced greenhouse gas emissions

This product could potentially result in a 9% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions for every kilogram of crude palm oil you produce. This reduction estimate is based on a third-party, peer-reviewed life cycle assessment.

Reduced land use

This product has broad temperature tolerance. That allows it to perform well in typical palm oil processing temperature ranges.

Temperature tolerance

Request sample

Traditional palm oil extraction methods have reached their limits. Your mill can break through those limits with Palmora® OER.  This product could potentially result in a 0.7%* increase in your oil extraction rate (OER). 

*Based on mill trials under optimal enzyme conditions.

Benefits

Palmora® OER contains a blend of thermostable enzymes. It releases oil trapped inside palm fruit cell walls. This oil is inaccessible in  traditional milling processes, so is lost in press fibers, sludge and decanter cake.  Palmora® OER also reduces viscosity to deliver a range of process and sustainability benefits to your mill.

Details

This product contains enzymes. While enzymes are safe to use in consumer applications, they need correct handling in working environments to ensure workers’ safety.

Indeed, repeated inhalation of enzyme dust or aerosols resulting from improper handling may induce sensitization and may cause allergic type 1 reactions in sensitized individuals.

Please follow the precautionary handling recommendations below:
