Process details
Palm oil production in the food & beverage industry
- Single straight tube – full bore – mass flow meters, with low pressure loss and cleanability by pig
- Measurement of steam, hot water, compressed air, natural gas, (thermal) oil or cooling fluids
- Gross and net heat measurement for hot water and steam with direct energy output
- Monitoring air compressor efficiency (FAD) or gas burner consumption, safety loops up to SIL 2/3
With a market share of 30 percent, palm oil is the most cultivated vegetable oil in the world before soybean oil. The global production of palm oil has increased in some cases over 15% in recent years. In 2019, 74,08 million tons of palm oil were produced worldwide. For comparison: in 2010 there were still 46,38 million tons. The total amount of palm oil production of the leading producing countries had an total amount of 72,96 million tones in the year of 2019. The countries with the most important growing of oil palm are Indonesia and Malaysia. Together they have a total account of 85.4% of global production with an ascending trend (approx. 60 million tons of palm oil in 2019). Indonesia had a total production of about 42 Million tones in the 2019. Malaysia had an production of about 20 Million tones in 2019. By 2025, Indonesia is planning to expand their plantations to about 20 million hectares.
