Oleochemicals is the trend! (replacement of petrochemicals)
Recently, due to the relentlessly climbing price of crude oil prices, the major oleochemical producers from natural resources had been enjoying the recent onward surge in global natural fatty alcohol demand. Foresee the crude oil prices will keep increasing, with the largely availability of natural resources would let us seized this opportunity and bring them into action by adding value to new natural fatty aclcohol capacity.
Due to the abundance availaibilty of feedstock, Malaysia is recognized as a global hub for manufacture biodegradable detergent. We can foresee a bright outlook for palm-oil based detergent following the global trend towards more sustainable lifestyle.

Industry Drivers
High demand from consumer market
Wide availability of raw material
New uses and demand
Growing market for green chemical
Industry Challenges
Global downturn of Economy
Cash rich plantation companies eyeing the market and increases the threat to the existing participants.
Growth of biodiesel industry
Indonesian export tax

Indonesian government raised export taxes drastically to boost refining capacity and downstream activities. As a result, crude palm oil and crude palm kernel oil are cheaper for downstream producers there and refined products shipped out from Indonesian shores are tax-free.

Although Indonesia restructure the tax incentives system would cause a minor lose out but reviewing its future it still lacking of processing technology such as downstream refineries and skilful labor could add benefits for Malaysia ‘s producers. The hiking tax would actually drive the crude palm oil and palm kernel oil for downstream production. Malaysia, KLK Oleochemicals Group’s unit,

    The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize isopentyl acetate via an esterification reaction between acetic acid and isopentyl alcohol, using concentrated sulfuric acid as a catalyst. The product was washed with sodium hydrogen carbonate, as well as with water, then dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. The product was then distilled using a Hickman still and characterized using infrared spectroscopy. The percent yield of isopentyl acetate was 61.52%. This may have been low due to not all of the condensed product being removed from the Hickman still, some product being lost during transfer of the product from the reaction tube into the Hickman still, or the loss of some product due to evaporation during distillation. Infrared spectrum analysis of the product indicated that the product was isopentyl acetate, as expected, and thus that the reaction was successful.…

    Another important factor which affect on the yield of biodiesel is the methanol to oil molar ratio. The four parameters which are used to determine the effect on yield of fatty acid methyl ester are 4:1, 6:1, 7:1and 8:1and other factors remaining constant. The theoretical reaction process which transesterfication can be attained is three moles of alcohol with one mole of triglycerides can give us one mole of fatty acid methyl ester and glyceride. It is obvious that the increase in the molar ratio methanol to oil increases the reaction conversion.…

    Instead of growing corn based ethanol, which causes negative effects to our economy and to the environment, researchers have discovered a new product, "cellulosic ethanol." Cellulosic ethanol is formed from waste plant material (cellulose) through a process called “thermo-chemical conversion”. Cellulosic ethanol plants are underway and the future of ethanol energy is making huge advancements. Unlike corn based ethanol, cellulosic ethanol will be less harmful to the environment and more economically…

    The percent yield of ethanol from sucrose was successfully high, at 93.3 %. The final mass of the distillate obtained after fermentation and the fractional distillation process was 0.81g. The distillate was collected when the temperature reached approximately 50-70°C. The amount of ethanol that should have been produced was 13.66 ml, had the entire distillate (over 100 ml) been distilled fractionally . The density of the distillate obtained was 0.81 g/mL; therefore, the percent ethanol by weight was approximately 90%. The distillate contained mostly ethanol, but also contained water because due to the azeotropic mixture water and ethanol mix to produce, consisting of 95% ethanol and 5% water by weight. This experiment was a success due to the high percent yield of ethanol from the fermentation of sugar.…

    Today, renewable energy sources are commonly used to replace fossil fuels due to the lacking of oil, gas, etc. An alternative energy source is ethanol (C2H5OH). It is an alcohol fuel manufactured by fermentation and distillation of crops that are high with starch and sugar, such as grains, sugarcane (most commonly used), corn, and fruit. Other names for ethanol are ethyl alcohol, drinking alcohol, and grain alcohol. It can also be made from trees, grasses, woods, and plant waste. It is a colourless, flammable liquid that is categorized under bio-fuel. Brazil is the largest suppler and consumer of ethanol in the world. Ethanol functions in the same way as gasoline. In vehicles, it is blended with conventional gasoline to make gasohol (90% gasoline and 10% ethanol). It is clean-burning and consists of high energy.…

    Lipids are one of the major constituents of foods, and are important in our diet for a number of reasons. They are a major source of energy and provide essential lipid nutrients. This experiment determined the components of each eluents. Lipids were based upon their polarity using column chromatography. The eluents used were 9:1 mixture of petroleum ether:ethyl ether, 5% methanol in dichloromethane and dichloromethane:methanol:water (1:3:1). The results obtained were analyzed and it showed that the the lipids are eluted by increasing polar solvents. The lipids present in the crude extract were triacylglycerol, cholesterol and lecithin. The purpose of this experiment is to analyze the lipids present in the crude extract using thin-layer chromatography and column chromatography. Results showed that Lecithin was the most polar among the 3 eluted components.…

    Vegetable oil consumption in the country is continuously rising and has sharply increased in the last couple of years to roughly 11.2 kg/head/year. This is still lower than the world average consumption level of 17.8 kg and that in neighbouring countries like Pakistan (16.1 kg). The developed western world has a per capita consumption of 44 to 48 kg/year. According to projections from the National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER), per capita consumption of edible oils is likely to reach 13.95, 14.83 and 16.17 kg by 2009-2010 if the per capita income grows by 4%, 5% and 6% respectively.…
