  • Will Watawala Plantations increase the capacity of palm oil mill?
  • Watawala Plantations has ambitious plans in the pipeline to increase the capacity and efficiency of the palm oil mill. As per the ongoing mill development initiative, the company aims to increase the mill capacity by 100% by 2021 to stand at 15 MT per hour of FFB.
  • How palm kernel oil is extracted from mesocarp?
  • The squeezed liquor from the mesocarp then goes to the clarification process where supernatant clean oil (crude palm oil) is skimmed off and being transfer to storage tank through drying process where moisture being removed. Mill also has a Kernel crushing plant where Palm Kernel Oil and Palm Kernel Cake are being produced.
  • How is palm oil extracted?
  • Palm oil is extracted from fresh fruit bunches (FFB) by mechanical and heating processes. Currently, the mill handles 15 MT per hour of FFB. It has the capacity to process 55,000 FFB MT per annum and presently produces over 12,000 MT of Crude Palm Oil (CPO), 1,250 MT of Palm kernel oil (PKO) and 2,000 MT of Palm Kernel Cake.
  • How to make refinery operation energy efficient?
  • In addition, small and medium scale energy conservation projects were implemented to make the refinery operation energy efficient. Refinery consists of Utilities section which supplies electricity, water, steam, instrument air etc., required for plant operation.
