How does YAHUA ensure the quality and safety of the products in the palm oil chemical project?

YAHUA ensures product quality and safety in its palm oil chemical project through strictprocess control:


  • Precise four-stage technical chain (hydrolysis-distillation-esterification-fractionation) with controlled parameters (temp, pressure) for stable separation.

  • Pretreatment removes impurities (moisture, pigments) to avoid contamination.

  • Four-stage distillation, leveraging melting point differences, ensures high purity of C16:0 and C18:1.

  • Quality checks at each stage to meet standards for food-grade and industrial products.

What are the specific production technologies used in the four-stage technical chain?

The four-stage technical chain employs specific technologies:


  • Hydrolysis: High-pressure continuous towers use high temperature/pressure to break glycerol ester bonds, splitting palm oil into crude fatty acids and sweet water.

  • Distillation: Four-stage distillation leverages melting point differences (63°C for C16:0 vs. 13°C for C18:1) for precise component separation.

  • Esterification: Converts fatty acids into esters via chemical reaction, enhancing stability for high-end applications. 

  • Fractionation: Further refines separated components through controlled cooling/crystallization to meet purity standards for target products.
