ABSTRACT
The goal of this project was to design, fabricate and test a small-scale palm oil clarifier that would meet the needs of small-scale farmers. This was accomplished by designing, selecting appropriate materials based on their durability and compatibility with the palm oil extraction process, and fabricating the components to ensure optimal performance. A performance test carried out, showed average oil recovery rates of 91.30% and 91.54%, confirming that the palm oil clarifier effectively separates oil from water and sludge. These rates are comparable to larger automated systems, which typically achieve 90-95% efficiency, demonstrating the clarifier's reliability.
