ABSTRAK

Single cut metil ester diturunkan dari crude palm oil dengan cara distilasi (cara fraksinasi) telah ada. Reaktor fraksinasi dengan sistem batch untuk mendaptakan single cut metil ester digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Fraksinasi dilakukan pada suhu 220 oC dan 225 oC dengan tekanan -28 inHg. Single cut metil ester mengandung metil ester palmitat sebesar 54.63% dan metil ester oleat sebesar 46.22%.

Kata kunci : Crude palm oil,  single cut metil ester, fraksinasi

ABSTRACT

A single cut methyl ester derived from crude palm oil by using distilastion (fractionation methode) was obtained. A fractionation reactor with batch system to obtain single cut methyl ester also used in this research. Fractionation conducted on temperature of 225 oC and pressure of -28 inHg. Single cut methyl ester contained palmitate methyl ester of 54.63% and oleic methyl ester of 46.22%.
