CHAPTER 1
PROJECT CONCEPTION – LITERATURE SURVEY
1.0 Introduction
As an introduction, a few concepts and definitions concerning the project,
“Refined Glycerine from RBD Palm Oil” will bw given in this part. Before the plant
is designed, some literature study on the feasibility of this project has been
performed. The feasibility study will be covered in this chapter too.
1.1 Process Background
1.1.1 Introduction to Glycerine
Glycerine, Glycerin or Glycerol is a 1,2,3-propanetriol, a trihydric alcohol.
The term “glycerol” applies only to the pure chemical compound 1,2,3-propanetriol.
“Glycerine” or “glycerin”, is a purified commercial product whose principal
component is glycerol and normally containing about 95% or more glycerol.
Several grades of glycerine are available commercially. They differ somewhat n

their glycerol content and in other characteristics such as colour, odour and trace
impurities.
The name comes from the Greek word glykys meaning sweet. Glycerol was
first discovered in 1779 by Scheele, who had heated a mixture of litharge and olive
oil and then extracted it with water. Upon evaporating the water, he obtained a
viscous sweet tasting solution later identified by Chevreul, Plouze, Berthelot and
others as a concentrated solution of trihyric alcohol, glycerol.

Glycerol occurs in combined form in all animal and vegetable fats and oils.
It is rarely found in the free state in these fats but is usually present as a triglyceride
combined with such fatty acids as stearic, oleic, palmitic and lauric and these are
generally mixtures or combinations of glycerides of several fatty acids. Such oils as
coconut, palm kernel, cottonseed, soybean and olive yield larger amounts of
glycerine than do such animal fats as tallow and lard. Beginning in the 1980s, two
important sources of raw materials for the glycerine production come from the palm
oil industry. The fruit from oil palm produce two distinctive oils, the palm oil which
is mainly a C16 and C18 oil, and the palm kernel oil, which is a C12 and C14 oil. These
two oils have overtaken tallow and coconut oil as the raw materials for
oleochemicals at this present moment and with their continued dominance in
production, will continue to be the primary feed stocks.
Traditionally, glycerol has been recovered as a by-product from animal or
vegetable oils that have been saponified in the process of manufacturing soaps.
More recently it has been commercially produced by chemical synthesis from
propylene and from sugar. Until 1949 all glycerine was obtained from glycerides in
fats and oils from two sources:
(1) From soap manufacture
Gly World (M) Sdn. Bhd
Chapter I– Project Conception - Literature Survey I- 3
Fat is boiled with caustic soda slution and salt. The fatty acid
constituents of the fat combine with the caustic soda to form soap,
which is obtained as an upper layer. The lower aqueos layer, referred
to as spent lye contain glycerine, water, salt and unchanged caustic
(2) From oil splitting or hydrolysis without added alkali, of fats and oils
This is a method for preparing fatty acids which are the reduced to
the corresponding fatty alcohols. The glycerine is the obtained in the
sweet water. Crude glycerine recovered from this is referred to as
saponification crude. The spent lyes resulting from current
soapmaking processes generally contain from 10-15% glycerol while
sweet water from hydrolysis of fats contain up to 20% glycerol
In its common liquid form, glycerol is non-poisonous, colourless, odourless
and sweet tasting and has a high viscosity. It is miscible in water and forms a
solution in any proportion. It is also soluble alcohol but only partially soluble in
common organic solvents such as ether and ethyl acetate. It resists freezing. It is
hygroscopic, which favors as a humectant to retain moisture in cosmetics. Because
it is soluble in water and alcohol, its versatility is a major benefactor in its purported
growth and popularity within the manufacturing sector. It is invaluable as a natural
source ingredient with emollient like properties which can soften and soothe the skin
and it assist the outer epidermis is retaining moisture. This helps to explain why it is
one of the most popular cosmetic additives used today. Glycerine also has a wide
range of application areas on cosmetic and food products, tobacco and paints.
1.1.2 Grades
The crude glycerine can be refined by redistillation to obtain refined
glycerine which is more than 99% pure. When the crude glycerine is refined, the
value added is about 80%.
Gly World (M) Sdn. Bhd
Chapter I– Project Conception - Literature Survey I- 4
Several grades of refined glycerine, such as high-gravity, dynamite, and USP
are marketed; specifications vary depending on the consumer and the intended use:
(1) USP-grade glycerine is water white, meeting the requirements of the
USP. It is classified as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe for
human use) by the US Department of Agriculture and is suitable for
use in foods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetic, or when the highest
quality is demanded or the end product is designed for human
consumption.
(2) The BP grade is similar to the USP
(3) The CP grade designates a grade of glycerine that is about the same
as USP but with the specifications varying slightly as agreed by
buyer and seller
(4) The high gravity grade is a pale-yellow glycerin for industrial use
(5) The dynamite grade is more yellow
1.1.3 Palm Oil: An Overview
1.1.3.1 History of Palm Oil
Palm oil is produced from the fruit of the oil palm or also known as Elaeis
Guinnesis tree, which originated in West Guinea. The palm bears its fruit in
bunches varying in weight from 10 to 40 kg. The individual fruit, ranging from 6 to
20 gm, are made up of an outer skin (the exocarp), a pulp (mesocarp) containing the
palm oil in a fibrous matrix; a central nut consisting of a shell (endocarp); and the
kernel, which itself contains an oil, quite different to palm oil, resembling coconut
oil. Palm oil is obtained from flesh surrounding the seed through cooking, mashing
and pressing. The flesh is oily, and oil can be recovered by very simple means, so
that it is probable that palm oil has been recovered and used for human food for tens
of thousands of years.
Gly World (M) Sdn. Bhd
Chapter I– Project Conception - Literature Survey I- 5
Because of its economic importance as an high-yielding source of edible and
technical oils, the oil palm is now grown as a plantation crop in most countries with
high rainfall (minimum 1 600 mm/yr) in tropical climates within 10° of the equator.
The tree was introduced into other parts of Africa, South East Asia and Latin
America during the 15th century while in Asia, it was first introduced at 1848 into
the botanical gardens at Bogor in Java as an ornamental plant. Its commercial
exploitation started in Sumatra after 1910 and in Malaya in the 1920s.
Palm oil is available in a variety of forms; crude palm oil, palm olein, palm
stearin, RBD palm oil, double-fractionated palm olein and palm mid-fraction.
1.1.3.2 Malaysia Palm Oil
Today palm oil is a well known commodity throughout the world’s food and
oleo-chemical industries. Oil palm growth in Malaysia started in 1950s when
Malaysia has decided to diversify significantly away from rubber, the principal
export crop. Commercial cultivation of palm oil did not begin until 1960’s. This was
due to government was opening up huge jungle track for the FELDA scheme for
landless farmers. By 1975, more than 640,000 hectares were planted with palm oil
and the hectarage continue to surge so much until recently Malaysia had more than
2.8 million hectares under palm oil. Consistent with the rapid expansion in palm oil
cultivation, production of palm oil also rose dramatically from the 1960’s. Apart
from the expansion in hectarage, yields have also risen steadily over the years, as
plantations introduce better yielding and better quality fruits as extraction method.
A principal agent of this development was the government Federal Land
Development Agency (FELDA) which undertook jungle clearance and the settling
of smallholders. Until today, FELDA continues to be a major successful participant
in the palm oil industry. For the user of Malaysian palm oil products there is a
technical backup service provided by the Palm Oil Research Institute of Malaysia Gly World (M) Sdn. Bhd
Chapter I– Project Conception - Literature Survey I- 6
(PORIM), which has a well equipped and staffed Research Centre near Kuala
Lumpur, and Technical Advisory Officers stationed in Europe, America, Asia and
Africa.
In 1966, Malaysia had surpassed Africa’s total palm oil production.
According to Oil Palm Review, published by the Tropical Development and
Research Institute in the United Kingdom, over 3 million tonnes of palm oil was
produced by Malaysia alone in 1983, compared with a total of about 1.3 million
tonnes of African production. Malaysia currently accounts for 51 % of world palm
oil production and 62% of world exports, and therefore also for 8% and 22% of the
world’s total production and exports of oils and fats. As the biggest producer and
exporter of palm oil and palm oil products, Malaysia has an important role to play in
fulfilling the growing global need for oils and fats in general.
1.1.3.3 Palm Oil Composition
Palm oil contains an equal proportion of saturated fatty acids and unsaturated
fatty acids. Fatty acids are the major oleochemicals derived from animal and
vegetable oils and fats. Fatty acids consist of the elements carbon (C), hydrogen
(H), and oxygen (O) arranged as a carbon chain skeleton with a carboxyl (--COOH)
group at one end. Fatty acids appear in chain lengths between C6 and C22, with the
vast majority in C18.
The difference between fatty acid types is mainly due to their degree of
saturation and their chain length. Saturated fatty acids, for examples, palmitic and
stearic acids have all the hydrogen that the carbon atoms can hold.
Monounsaturated fatty acids have only one double bond, e.g. oleic acids.
Polyunsaturated fatty acids have more than one double bond, such as linoleic acids
Gly World (M) Sdn. Bhd
Chapter I– Project Conception - Literature Survey I- 7
(two double bonds) and linolenic acids (three double bonds). Fatty acids are
generally found combined with glycerol in lipids such as triglycerides.

1.3.2 Selected Site
After considering the available site locations that depend upon several
factors including primary and specific factors, Gebeng (Phase IV), Kuantan Pahang
is chosen as the site for this proposed refined glycerine plant selected as a totally
satisfactory solution for future benefits. Generally the main reasons why Gebeng
(Phase IV), Kuantan Pahang have been chosen as the glycerine refinary industrial
area are:
i) Gebeng Industrial Estate had been specialized for heavy and medium
industries where waste treatment is easy to carry out.
ii) Close to raw material sources. We can get our raw materials (RBDPO)
from Cargill Palm Products Sdn. Bhd and Felda Vegetable oil Products
Sdn. Bhd. In Gebeng Industrial Estate. So, the price of raw materials is
cheaper.
iii) Reasonable land price (RM 2.00 – RM 12.00 per square feet) compared
to the other sites. Since our plant is quite small, the land price won’t
affect the economic analysis much.
iv) Since the industrial is new, so there is much space for us to construct our
plan and for our future expansion. The available area is 4000 acres
(1,618.76 hectares).
v) Common pipe rack link Gebeng and Kuantan Port.
vi) This location is quite near to Kuantab Port (4 km), so that any trade
involving import and export product to the other countries can be
accomplished easily.
vii) Far enough from residents. This site is located 45 km from Kuantan.
viii) Good transportation in terms of road facilities, railway, airport and
seaport to get raw materials and market our product.
ix) Attractive incentives from Pahang State Government. The state
government is giving Pioneer Status, Investment Tax Allowance (ITA),
Gly World (M) Sdn. Bhd
Chapter I– Project Conception - Literature Survey I- 46
Infrastructure Allowance, Incentives for Strategic Projects, Exemption on
Import Duties, and Discount on Electricity Bills etc.
x) Adequate supply of electricity and water. There are Paka Power Plant,
IPPYTL Power Generation Sdn. Bhd. And Tasik Kenyir Hydroelectric to
supply electricity. On the other hand, Semambu Water Treatment can
supply water.
xi) Training facilities are given by Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Indera
Mahkota, Politeknik Sultan Ahmad Shah (POLISAS), Universiti
Teknologi MARA, Bandar Jengka, Universiti Islam Antarabangsa,
Kuantan and Institut Kemajuan Ikhtisas Pahang (IKIP).
xii) Suitable climate (Annual rainfall: 2500 mm, average temperature: 25-27 0C)
xiii) Other facilities: Eastern Corridor Incentives, establishment of Multi
National Company (MNC’s) etc.
