What are the important location factors for a palm oil mill plant?

For setting up a palm oil mill plant, the first important thing is to ensure the suitable location. What are the important location factors for a palm oil mill  plant? Here are some suggestions given by Henan Glory Company.

Firstly, the ideal location of palm oil plant is near the central area of palm plantation. Because palm fruit contains a large amount of free fatty acids(FFA), which need to be sterilized within 48 hours after picking. Otherwise, the free fatty acids in palm fruit will gradually increase and affect the quality of crude oil. And it can also reduce the transportation cost of raw materials.

Secondly, in order for the palm oil mill plant to operate well, there must be enough water near the plant. In palm oil pressing process, steam is used in many parts, such as sterilization, digestion, vacuum drying and so on. Water source can make production more convenient. But palm oil mill plant doesn't get too close to the river, either. When the flood comes, the factory will be flooded, too.

Last, we need to choose a flat surface and a large enough site to build palm oil mill plant on that. If the ground is undulating and needs to be excavated and stacked, it is not a good place to build a palm oil mill plant.
