Challenge

High Free Fatty Acid (FFA) levels between 4–10% in Crude Palm Oil (CPO) posed significant challenges to production quality and operational cost-efficiency. Elevated FFA resulted in higher refining expenses, compromised oil quality, and increased risk of non-compliance with stringent market requirements, including MOSH & MOAH specifications. The industry demanded a robust, safe, and cost-effective solution to reduce FFA levels while preserving the fundamental properties of palm oil and ensuring reliable plant operation in line with safety and environmental regulations.

Results

Through the implementation of Betagard 9700, the palm oil processing facility achieved a reduction of FFA to below 5%, resulting in measurable improvements in CPO quality and product stability. Key performance indicators included enhanced MOSH & MOAH values, lower oil losses, and decreased refining costs. All results were accomplished without major modifications to existing infrastructure, supporting both product consistency and plant operational efficiency in adherence to industry standards and best practices.

Key Product

Product one

“Betagard 9700 has delivered a highly significant improvement in the quality of our Crude Palm Oil (CPO). Prior to implementation, we faced persistent challenges with high FFA levels ranging from 4–10%, which directly impacted refining costs, product stability, and compliance with market standards such as MOSH & MOAH.After adopting Betagard 9700, FFA levels were consistently reduced to below 5% without requiring major modifications to our existing plant infrastructure. In addition to improved CPO quality, we experienced reduced oil losses, greater refining cost efficiency, and stable, safe plant operations.This solution has proven not only technically effective but also aligned with our commitment to safety, environmental responsibility, and industry sustainability. Betagard 9700 has become an essential part of maintaining the competitiveness and marketability of our products.”

About your Customer

A leading innovator in palm oil processing solutions, focused on delivering sustainable and effective biotechnology for the industry.

The Challenge

A leading innovator in palm oil processing faced persistent issues with high FFA content in crude palm oil, typically ranging from 4–10%. This challenge led to higher refining costs, diminished oil quality, and difficulties in meeting increasingly strict MOSH & MOAH market parameters. Maintaining compliance with safety and environmental standards, while improving oil quality without compromising production efficiency or requiring major equipment upgrades, was a critical operational need.

The Solution

After comprehensive technical assessment and market review, the company selected Betagard 9700, a biotechnology-based enzyme inhibitor specifically formulated for FFA reduction in palm oil. The decision was based on Betagard 9700's proven ability to effectively stabilize and reduce FFA content without altering the oil's fatty acid structure or leaving harmful residues. Application involved dosing 0.3–0.5% of Betagard 9700 solution via an in-line injection system, integrated into existing recovery, centrifuge, and enzyme mixing tanks under controlled temperature and time conditions. Continuous monitoring of FFA, moisture, DOBI, MOSH, and MOAH ensured compliance with industry and safety standards.

The Results

Deployment of Betagard 9700 led to a reduction in FFA to below 5%, as supported by key metrics: initial FFA level of 4–10% reduced to under 5% using a 0.3–0.5% application dosage. The plant registered improvements in CPO quality and stability, compliance with MOSH & MOAH limits, and a measurable reduction in oil losses and refining expenditures. Notably, these benefits were realized without the need for major process modifications, supporting both operational efficiency and product marketability.
