Studies on flow performance of crude palm oil in transportation handling using different type of mechanisms

Crude palm oil (CPO) has high tendency to solidify. This drawback has make the CPO become solidify in the pipelines and will cause loss of millions of ringgit per year. The objectives of this research were to identify suitable temperature condition for best flow performance of CPO (least frictional...
