Description

Palm Acid Oil (PAO) is used as a distilled fatty acid for bio-diesel feedstock, animal feed and in the manufacture of soap, which is derived from Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME). PAO is a by-product of chemical refining of palm oil and consists of FFA (more than 50%) and neutral oil, with a moisture content of 2-3%. It is very similar to palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD), but its FFA is generally lower.
