Raw material substitution has been carried out from CPKO (Crude Palm Kernel Oil) to RBDCNO (Refined Bleached Deodorized Coconut Oil) for producing oleochemical products. Splitting and fractionation process conducted using process parameters and standard operating conditions that normally used to produce oleochemical products with CPKO as raw material before. The two classes of products produced are differentiated based on whether they pass through the hydrogenation process or not. The non-hydrogenation product group is C8-18 while the hydrogenation product is Hydrogenated C8-18. The result show better color from individual variant of fractionated product C8-18 & Hydrogenated C8-18 compared to PKOFA but carbon chain distribution was fluctuated. Average was out of specification for D810 & Lauric Acid for C8-18 and D810 & Myristic Acid for Hydrogenated C8-18. Heat Stability (HS) color dari D810, Myristic Acid and D168 from fractionated C8-18 was higher than typical D810, FA1299 & D168 from CPKO. Adjustment with addition Palmitic Acid 98% have to conducted due to carbon chain distribution was out of range. HS Color after adjustment was higher than typical CPKO. Peroxide Value (POV) of C8-18 has increased significantly since first week and stable up to eighth week while POV of Hydrogenated C8-18 was stable <1 after eight weeks. © 2021 Author(s).
