Olam Palm Gabon – a joint venture with the government of Gabon – is part of our plan to support the development of the agricultural economy – to broad-base the Gabon economy, reduce food imports, create employment opportunities and tackle poverty in the country. In 2022, OPG delivered a net volume of over 100,000 tonnes of crude palm oil
This expansion coincides with projected increases in output of Gabon’s famously light, sweet Rabi crude variety for which the refinery is designed, while heavier varieties, like Mandji, will be exported as crude. Bolstering Gabon’s downstream future is the newfound potential for gas production and associated industries.
New tech could provide cheaper, less-polluting way ..., Science
According to Neel Rangnekar, a chemical engineer with Exxon and a team member on the new paper, switching from distillation to membrane separation could save up to 50% of the cost of heating the crude oil and 75% of the cost of electricity used in refining, amounting to at least $3.5 billion per year. “It’s a very exciting result,” says
Despite generally low return on investment, modular-mini refineries from simple diesel production units to more sophisticated refineries are increasingly becoming a choice of flexible and cost-effective supply for oil producers in remote regions, particularly in developing economies with reasonable to rich oil resources. The new wave of mini
Gabonese investments in palm oil reshaping industrial sector
The latter is seeking 40,000 ha to plant oil palm and set up a refining operation in a $200m investment that will create 4000 direct and indirect jobs, according to a March 2016 report from The Wall Street Journal. SIAT Gabon is currently looking to “reorganise their entire palm business,” Gert Vandersmissen, the firm’s group COO, told OBG.

Gabon's refined crude, The Energy Year
The refinery’s first stone was laid down in 1965 and it became operational in 1967. By September 1969, the refinery was processing 110 tonnes [806 barrels] per hour. Today we’ve reached a processing capacity of 155 tonnes [1,136 barrels] per hour.
The production of crude palm oil is a resource-intensive process because it requires a considerable amount of clean water during milling and generates a large amount of wastewater. The goal of this work was to improve the process sustainability by repurposing the treated wastewater (i.e. aerobic liquor, AL) for improving the quality of crude palm oil (CPO). The AL was first pre-treated by
Process Modelling of Combined Degumming and Bleaching in Palm
In the current practice, the amount of phosphoric acid (degumming agent) and bleaching earth (bleaching agent) added during this process is usually fixed within a certain range. There is no system that can estimate the right amount of chemicals to be added in accordance with the quality of crude palm oil (CPO) used.
The refining of palm oil improves the production of palm oil and its quality. It is a process to extract oil from crude palm oil (CPO) into an edible form. Before the refining process is conducted, CPO needs to be extracted from palm oil fruits. Figure 1 illustrates the production stages for CPO.
