Mectech Palm Oil Refinery Plant- A Legacy of Innovation and Excellence

Oil processing, often known as refining, is the conversion of crude oil into usable products such as petrol, diesel, kerosene, and other petrochemicals. The refining process consists of multiple essential steps, including separation, conversion, treatment, blending, and other refining processes.

Oil refining is a complicated and energy-intensive process that necessitates advanced equipment and technology. It is an important link in the worldwide energy supply chain, providing fuel for transportation, heating, and electricity generation, as well as raw materials for the petrochemical sector.

Of all the oil refining and processing industries, palm oil refinery is the most important sector as it is a very complex oil and for its production it requires good quality plant.

Palm Oil Refining

Palm oil refining industries are among the world's most important manufacturing sectors, and palm oil has grown to become the world's most traded vegetable oil. Indonesia and Malaysia are the main producers, with exporting enterprises for crude palm oil.

Crude palm oil is derived from palm oil's mesocarp. Extracted Crude Palm oil contains some undesirable contaminants, which must be eliminated partially or fully throughout the palm oil refining process to produce good edible oil with increased stability and keepability.

Palm oil is currently a popular cooking oil in many tropical nations, including South East Asia, Africa, and sections of Brazil. Its popularity is attributed due to its higher heat resistance as compared to any other vegetable oil and also because of its lower cost and good oxidative stability.

Palm's unique and finest quality is that it generates two forms of oil: palm oil and palm kernel oil.

Palm oil is derived from the flesh of the palm fruit, whereas palm kernel oil is extracted from the seeds or kernel of the palm fruit using the palm kernel oil process.

Palm oil is derived from fresh palm fruit flesh through pressing and centrifugation at a palm oil facility. To avoid deterioration of Palm Oil, it must be extracted from fresh palm fruit. As a result, countries that cultivate palm oil remove it to prevent it from deteriorating. The crude palm oil's colour is yellow-red or dark yellow, and its taste is sweet.

The crude palm oil extracted contains undesired contaminants, which hurt the oil's physical appearance, quality, oxidative stability, and shelf life. To eliminate the aforementioned pollutants, the oil is sent to a palm oil refinery plant, where it is refined, bleached, and deodorised. After refining the palm oil, the RBD oil is sent to the fractionation unit to extract palm olein and stearin.

Palm Oil Refinery Plant

Palm oil refining is divided into the sections below:

In most palm oil refining plants, the refining process is a vital stage in the manufacture of edible oils and fats. The finished product's properties that must be monitored include flavour, shelf life, stability, and colour.

Crude vegetable oil can be refined in two ways: physically or chemically. During crude palm oil refining, FFA is removed to obtain a maximum FFA level of 0.1%.

Physical refining typically has a smaller environmental impact than chemical refining.

Bleaching edible oils and fats is an important step in the refining process for crude oils and fat. It does eliminate numerous contaminants, which hurt the physical look and quality of the oil. Generally, the oil is taken to the bleaching section first, and the gums are treated with phosphoric acid so that they may be separated in the pressure leaf filter after bleaching.

During this stage, the adsorptive activity of bleaching earth removes trace metal complexes like iron and copper, colouring pigments, phosphatides, and oxidative products.

This bleached oil is next filtered through industrial filters such as a filter press, a hermetically sealed vertical leaf pressure filter, a plate, or a frame filter.

Mectech's unique bleacher design keeps the bleaching earth in full suspension, resulting in no dead zones and lower utility use. Mectech Bleacher guarantees high-quality oil because the bleaching procedure for crude palm oil is carried out under controlled conditions.

Mectech also excels in supplying facilities for rice bran oil processing refinery in India and abroad. Mectech Rice Bran Oil Extraction Machinery in India and abroad offers the following advantages.

Morning Spider,

Sorry I keep popping into your asks like this but I made a discovery that is too exciting not to share!

So, since I moved to Malaysia I have been fighting an ongoing battle between all my old leather wear and mould. Just no matter what I did, how air tight and dehumidified a box I kept it in, how many expensive leather conditioners and cleansers I used, mould would regrow within weeks.

Anyway, I recently came across an article about using thyme essential oil in the preparation of leathers and thought "can't hurt" and OH MY LIFE!!! I treated all my leathers with a 5% solution thyme essential oil and baby oil and they are fine. I treated the wood on my little treasure boxes and no more mould. I'm currently treating the grouting the damn landlady won't get replaced and it seems to be cleaning up? I'm not gonna stake my reputation on that one but I have decent hopes.

Anyway, it's been a game changer for me and I just thought you and your followers might appreciate the tip. It's not a replacement for actual professional treatment, and I'm still gonna keep on at my landlady to fix the damn mould problem, but at the very least for anyone who wants to keep their leathers safe in a humid environment, thyme oils the thing for you!

That's pretty cool!

World Dugong Day

Every year, on the 28th of May, it is celebrated the World Dugong Day! 🧜

Dugong is known as the sea cow (pic attached 🐮 - x). Why sea cow, you ask? These animals can be found in coastal environments feeding exclusively and extensively on seagrasses. The largest remaining population of Dugongs can be found in Australia (i), while the closest to the United Kingdom can be observed in the shallow waters of The Arabian Gulf (ii) 🌊

Why are dugongs important? 🧐

According to the Dugong & Seagrass Conservation Project (iii), dugongs contribute to maintaining balanced marine coastal environments, while also representing good indicators for local ecosystem health. Their presence is of course linked with seagrasses, which not only represents these herbivore mammals’ only source of food: seagrass sits at bottom of food chain in coastal environments (iv). Moreover, it provides important ecosystem services such as fish products, reduced erosion and flood protection (v). In other words, dugong presence is the manifestation of healthy ecosystem. Terrible news is: they are classified as vulnerable species (vi) 😰

Why are they declining? And how is climate change impacting their population? 😭

Dugongs are sensitive creatures not exempt from anthropogenic (modern age) disturbance. They have been largely hunted by humans for its meat, fat and oils, which caused significant population reduction (vi). Also, seagrass species are under extreme pressure due water quality variations largely driven by climate change (vii) and further human activity (viii). In addition, their slow reproduction rate and long life span (around 70 years) make them less resilient from not-environmentally friendly fishing practices (ix) 🎣

What can be done to support them? 💪

The Australian Great Barrier Reef and Marine Park Authority (i) provides the following recommendations:

1. Protect coastal habitats - Do not damage seagrass by dragging boats on underwater meadows and act against pollution, eutrophication and herbicide use deriving from land-based activities 🚜

2. Avoid use of mesh nets - Dugongs can get trapped in fishing nets 🥅

3. Boat responsibly - Dugongs are hard too spot while sitting on high speeding boats. Reduce speed while crossing shallow waters and seagrass meadows. If you spot one, it is likely it will not the only one in the area 🚢

4. Report - Just like for other sirenians, as well as cetaceans, it is essential to report injured/dead dugongs to local authorities ☎️

5. Donate - Dugong & Seagrass Conservation Project covers the conservation of dugongs and their associated seagrass ecosystems in eight countries in the Indo-Pacific region: Indonesia, Madagascar, Malaysia, Mozambique, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, Timor-Leste and Vanuatu.

Hilda's herborium: Lemongrass

Per request of @nav-is-bored, these are commonly distributed in the Phillipines!

Scientific name: Cymbopogon citratus

Native Habitat: India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Indonesia

Magical Qualities:

Communication

Protection

Love

Purification

Expelling negative energy

Lust

Balance

Clarity

Description:

Lemongras is a perennial grass in the family Poaceae grown for its fragrant leaves and stalks which are used as a flavoring. The grass grows in dense clumps and has several stiff stems and slender blade-like leaves which droop towards the tips. The leaves are blue-green in color, turning red in the Fall and emit a strong lemon fragrance when damaged. Lemongrass produces large compound flowers on spikes when grown in the tropics, but rarely flowers when grown in more Northern latitudes. Lemon grass can reach a height of 1.8 m (6 ft) and will grow for several years, typically its economical lifespan is 4 years.

Folklore

Lemongrass has been used as a healing herb in folklore for hundreds of years. This tropical plant is used prolifically in many Asian cuisines.

Historically, lemongrass was often used for its oils. During the 17th century, it was distilled and shipped around the world as part of the perfume industry. At the time, there was very little access to personal hygiene facilities, which meant that anyone who considered themselves of a higher class would anoint themselves with scented oils in an attempt to cover up their own smell. Lemongrass was one of the most popular scents though few could afford it due to its high price.

Lemongrass has been a traditional healing herb in its native regions for a long time, the fact that it’s so helpful in reducing fevers has given it the name “fever grass” in some cultures. It’s one of the most popular medicinal plants in Brazil, with many in the Amazon regarding it as a wonderful sedative when taken in tea form.

Lemongrass is a great magickal plant which you can use to promote openness to new ideas or people. It’s great for providing some magickal help if you struggle with communication. Lemongrass is also thought to attract fae.

One of the most famous uses of Lemongrass essential oil is as an effective and natural insect repellent. It is thought that the citronella content of Lemongrass is responsible for its insect repelling abilties. It blocks the scent that attract mosquitoes and other biting insects such as lactic acid and carbon dioxide, making it harder for insects to locate you. Furthermore, research has shown that citronella helps to reduce mosquito landing by 40 percent.

Quotes about Lemongrass

"I landed in 1980 in Bangkok, and I stopped to eat ten times between the airport and the hotel. It was all lemongrass and ginger and chilies." -Jean-Georges Vongerichten

Ukraine: The Door that Closed the Era of Western Power

Daniel Jupp

When people say Slava Ukraini, they are actually praising the geopolitical screw-up that finally ended the dominance of the West.

To me it seems like the Russians are definitely winning. It also seems to me they had reasons to fight there, and were provoked by an insane Neocon policy that has apparently backfired, stretching at least back to the Maidan revolution. I think globalists wanted to use Ukraine to oust Putin and chew up Russia, and they screwed it up. Now Ukrainians are in a Russian meat grinder and the Russians are running through western money and resources whilst actually growing stronger themselves. This is an enormous geopolitical fuck up for the West in every way imaginable.

It has pushed Russia into the arms of China and shown the rest of the world that you can defy the West and still prosper. Psychologically, twinned with the Afghanistan debacle, it gives the lesson that the West should always be distrusted but should never again be feared. It has lost the West real moral authority by being another dishonest military intervention, and also wasted western money on a vast scale. Thinking people here know that Ukraine is corrupt and that for instance hundreds of millions of aid has been stolen by Ukrainian leaders for themselves. Supplied arms are for sale on the internet. They also know the US committed an act of terrorism with the Nordstream pipeline.

If you are of the Machiavellian school of thought, there may be a place for very cynical, very hard nosed, very illegal actions that WORK. There is no place for ones that don’t work and actually expose both your moral hypocrisy and your essential weakness.

Now we see African nations flock to Russian summits. We see the petrodollar being abandoned as a reserve currency. We see France go humbly to China. We see Japan purchase in currencies other than the dollar. Malaysia too. We see India ignoring western pleas and aligning with Russia and China. We see the BRICS overtaking the G7 in GDP. We see Iran and Saudi Arabia enter an accord brokered by China. We see the Saudis openly laughing at Biden and refusing to take US calls. We see the German economy in deep and growing trouble from the combined lunacies of green energy policy and US terrorism on Russian supplied oil.

And we see the Russian economy surviving sanctions that are hurting Germany more than Russia. We see the Russian economy doing better than the UK economy. We see country after country abandoning western and US leadership and bowing to new masters.

If you are going to apply all your economic might and international power and covert and overt military support to take out a rival nation, it destroys your economic might, your international power and the reputation of your overt and covert military forces when the target of all this not only survives, but THRIVES. They thought to destroy Russia and warn China. Instead they strengthened both and weakened themselves.

In these circumstances, with Russian manufacturing working fine, with western military stockpiles running out, with trillions spent for no reward, with dollar dominance dying and two thirds of the world pivoting to Chinese leadership, I ask those who still want to funnel more into this disastrous policy: don’t you regret opening the door to all this? do you really think it makes sense to pretend that Neocon policy has been a success and that we, let alone Ukraine, have won anything by creating the Ukraine war, continuing the Ukraine war, and NOT winning the Ukraine war?

Isn’t it well past time to close the door on support for Ukraine, and save what can be saved from Neocon stupidity and scheming before this goes nuclear?

From Promise to Performance: The Raw

The Raw marks my first venture into local skincare brands. I had always been cautious about homegrown products, having encountered too many 'timbang kilo' options in the market. It’s no secret how risky those can be. But The Raw has quickly made its mark as a standout brand, earning a place not only in Malaysia’s beauty scene but also in my heart. It’s genuinely refreshing to see a local brand setting a new standard with its focus on quality and effectiveness.

Cleanser

Rough & Bumpy Ceramides Cleanser (Oily-Combination Skin)

Target concerns: Damaged skin barrier, sensitive skin.

Ingredients Overview: Aqua, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Propylene Glycol, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Glycerin, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Niacinamide (1%), Ceramide EOP, Ceramide NS, Ceramide NP, Ceramide AS, Ceramide AP, Hydrocotyle Asiatica (Centella Asiatica) Extract, Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis (Chinese Skullcap) Root Extract, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol, 2.3 Butanediol, Caprylyl Glycol, Butylene Glycol, Cholesterol, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Glyceryl Stearate, Dipropylene Glycol, Hydroxyacetophenone, Salicylic Acid (0.5%), Lactic Acid, Tetrasodium EDTA, Methylchloroisothiazolinone & Methylisothiazolinone.

Verdict: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have worked my way through two bottles of this cleanser, and honestly, each one lasted a good 3-4 months, depending on how much I used. It has easily become one of my go-to cleansers, and I cannot deny how much I enjoyed it. But being a dry skin girlie I am, I quickly learned that using this on the same day as my exfoliator was a big no-no. The combination of both was just too much for my skin barrier to handle. Even on days I wasn’t exfoliating, I found I had to limit this cleanser to 2-3 times a week for it to work best without causing any irritation.

This cleanser feels almost like applying a moisturizing lotion—just in the form of a cleanser.

That said, between this cleanser and Nuuha’s, I lean towards Nuuha solely because of its foamy texture.
