ABSTRACT
The aim of this project was the design, fabrication and testing of an easy-to-operate and affordable small-scale palm oil clarifier fit for farm use. This was accomplished by the design and selection of materials for the manufacture of the various components that make up the clarifier, followed with the working drawing and fabrication. A performance test, in terms of oil recovery rate was carried out on the clarifier. On average, we had 91.30% and 91.54% oil recovery rate; this imply the small-scale clarifier palm oil clarifier can effectively separate the oil from water and sludge. Additionally, these rates are in line with industry norms for larger, more automated systems, which typically strive for recovery rates between 90 and 95 percent.
