Deacidification of crude palm oil using hollow fiber membrane contactor system

Deacidification process is one of the most critical step in vegetable oil refining. It represents the main economic impact on oil production, which determines the final quality of refined oil. This research aimed is to develop a hollow fiber membrane contactor system that is suitable for crude palm...
