Abstract
Introduction: Extraction companies oversee extracting as much oil as possible from oil palm bunches and producing high quality oil. Objective: This study is called Improvement of the extraction rate of red oil in the Extractor "Atahualpa" Extracata S.A. The objective is to improve the extraction rate of red oil by evaluating the raw material and the processes. Methodology: Using the Soxhlet extraction method, the oil potential of four varieties of oil palm clusters and the oil losses in the extraction plant was evaluated. Using the centrifugation method, the dilution percentage of the press liquor was determined in the pressing-digestion and clarification process. In addition, the temperature of the digesters, the water tank that feeds the presses and the press liquor was recorded before entering the Tricanter. To identify the operating conditions in the sterilization process, the number of autoclaves processed was recorded. holding pressure and cooking time. Results: For the statistical analysis of the four varieties of clusters, the Tukey test was performed, resulting in a significant difference between the Taisha variety and E. guineensis. According to the mass balance, greater oil losses were recorded during the first month. Conclusion: Concerning the raw material, the bunches of E. guineensis produce a greater quantity of oil. Best results were produced when the bunches are sterilized at 45 psi for 50 min and the temperature conditions of the water tank and press liquor digesters are at 95 degrees Celsius.
