12/13/2023
Biopolymer technologies have been successfully used its products in palm oil mills in Malaysia and Indonesia, building its own regional team of experts. In 2023 Biopolymer technologies completed a cycle of industrial trials to demonstrate efficiency in increasing extraction and reducing oil losses at several local mills and began making regular shipments of its reagents.
The Biopolymer technologies solutions were easily integrated in the technological process in the mills, increasing the CPO extraction rate by 5-15% and reducing the oil losses. With such indicators, businesses can expect an increase in profits of more than 500 thousand US dollars (about 7.6 billion Indonesian rupees) annually.
For today Biopolymer technologies signed contracts with 3 distributors in Malaysia and is now accelerating the shipment of our reagent to this country.
Our technology has been officially recognized by the Malaysian Palm Oil Board. The premier government agency of Malaysia confirms that "Biopolymer technologies products form a single solution that easily integrates into the technological process positively impacts oil extraction by significantly and increasing productivity, reducing losses, and improving economic viability".
Biopolymer technologies reagents have proven to be efficient in addressing palm oil challenges in Malaysia and Indonesia. They have improved extraction efficiency, reduced waste and increased profits for palm oil mills.

Khairol Annuar Mohd Ali, Senior Manager at HB Laboratories, said: "At HB Labs, we're at the forefront of producing water treatment for offshore oil drilling platforms, specialising in separating oil from water before discharge into the sea. Leveraging our expertise, we extended our focus to palm oil mill effluent. We achieved exceptional results through rigorous testing and the development of our specialised equipment, High Efficiency Recovery Oil (HERO). However, when we integrated Biopolymer technologies reagent, we witnessed a remarkable increase in oil extraction and moisture reduction. This success enabled us to secure long-term contracts with major clients in Malaysia."Biopolymer technologies reagents have proven to be efficient in addressing palm oil challenges in Malaysia and Indonesia. They have improved extraction efficiency, reduced waste and increased profits for palm oil mills.

Benefits of using Biopolymer technologies solutions
Biopolymer technologies products are designed to improve palm oil extraction at all stages — from the clarification tank to centrifugation processes. They form submicron films around oil droplets and on the surface of fruit solids, helping to release the oil and float to the surface. This technology reduces extraction time, increases oil extraction and reduces oil losses in the effluent.
Reagent for oil extraction is a 100% natural product obtained from modified food cellulose. The reagent optimizes the stages of oil extraction and separation of oil from crushed particles and water. As a result of using the reagent in production, oil losses in the wastewater can be reduced by an average of 0.3 percentage points.
Reagent for sludge palm oil extraction is a product for the extraction of sludge palm oil (SPO).
It improves the extraction process by up to 100%, so that companies could produce more, higher quality SPO in half the time without additional equipment. Also, application of the reagent for sludge palm oil extraction proved to decrease moisture in the SPO from 17% to less than 1%.
Biopolymer technologies primarily focuses on profitability, but also recognizes the importance of aligning with ESG goals. The company's solutions reduce waste and oil loss from palm oil mill effluent (POME) by reducing water consumption.
Given these benefits, mills can expect to comply with the eco-agenda and add more to their operating profits.
Igor Temirov, Business Development Director of Biopolymer technologies, explains: “The main challenges faced by palm oil mills in Malaysia are increasing OER (oil extraction rate), reducing production waste and financial losses. After a series of research and laboratory testing of the technology, we have achieved success with our products. They have shown significant results in increasing OER by 5-15% and reducing oil losses.”
Traditional palm fruit processing methods often result in production losses and large amounts of waste. Biopolymer technologies products can minimize oil loss in heavy and solid phases by more than 30%. This indicator reduces the negative impact on the environment and significantly reduces the costs of waste disposal and recycling.
Another challenge for the mills is to improve the efficiency of palm oil production. The Biopolymer technologies solution for SPO can reduce extraction time from 24 to 12 hours. By speeding up the process, the reagents also help reduce the cost of heating tanks with wood or diesel fuel as well as reduce water consumption.
Biopolymer technologies provides the dosing station and reagents as a complete solution.

The Biopolymer technologies equipment is easily integrated within one day in any production process with the minimum installation and running cost. The simplicity and adaptability of our technology to any mill capacity was successfully demonstrated at the mills from 15 tn/hr to 90 tn/hr capacity.Palm oil production in Malaysia and Indonesia
Palm oil is a key ingredient in: food industry (production of butter, margarine, chocolate), cosmetic industry (production of soaps, creams, shampoos), pharmaceutical industry (production of medicinal products), as well as in the production of biodiesel fuel. It is used as a substitute for other oils and fats due to its stability, long shelf life and neutral taste.
Palm oil production plays an important role in the economies of Indonesia and Malaysia. These two countries account for 87% of global palm oil exports and have more than 1,600 mills combined.

where Biopolymer technologies has implemented new technology
The process of extraction includes the following steps that may vary depending on the company scale, supply method and equipment configuration:
Driven by growing demands for sustainability and consumer awareness, Malaysia and Indonesia are beginning to introduce new regulations and standards for palm oil production.
Mills are implementing sustainable extraction practices keeping in mind environmental protection and improving working conditions. This helps reduce the negative impact on nature. At the same time, companies are turning to environmental solution providers to increase productivity and improve efficiency of the businesses.
- Collection and transportation of raw materials. Palm fruit bunches are collected manually. They are then sent for processing.
- Preparation of raw materials. Fruit bunches processed in the sterilizer where they are heat treated to sterilize and soften the fruits before digesting and pressing.
- Oil extraction. The sludge diluted with water after the presses is going into clarification tank where the extraction is gradually taken place at temperatures of 85-95 C.
- Oil collection and waste processing. Extracted oil collected after the vacuum dryers and the remaining sludge goes to centrifuges or decanters to further collect CPO from sludge.
