The Origins of Palm Fatty Acid Distillate
Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) is a by-product generated from crude palm oil refinery plants. PFAD is obtained as a distillate from the FFA stripping tower process. The primary product of crude palm oil processing is refined, bleached, and deodorized palm oil. This is further fractionated into RBD olein and stearin through controlled cooling and filter pressing processes.
The major constituents of Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) are free fatty acids, mainly oleic, stearic, and palmitic acids. As PFAD primarily contains fatty acids along with certain impurities, its quality is relatively unstable and requires short-term storage. Therefore, freshly produced PFAD is generally preferred, as aged material may adversely impact the quality of biodiesel produced.
