Webinar: Process for Simultaneous Production of Functional Ingredients and Biofuels from Unused Resources in Palm Oil Refinery

Webinar: Process for Simultaneous Production of Functional Ingredients and Biofuels from Unused Resources in Palm Oil Refinery
  • Date From 26th June 2023
  • Date To 26th June 2023
  • Price Free of charge, open to all
  • Location Online: 18:30 MYT. Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes.

Overview

We have developed an innovative technology that enables the effective utilization of a variety of inedible oils containing fatty acids. This process utilizes ion exchange resins, conventionally used for water treatment, as new catalysts and adsorbents in oil. As an example of the practical application of this technology, we will present a multiple production process for several functional ingredients and biofuels from fatty acid oil of rice bran oil. We then propose to apply this technology to the palm industry to achieve simultaneous production of super vitamin E and biofuels from palm fatty acid distillates.

Speaker

Naomi Shibasaki-Kitakawa, Professor at Graduate School of Engineering, Tohoku University and Chief Technology Officer at Phytochemical Products Inc.

Naomi received her PhD in engineering from Tohoku University in 1994. She was hired as an assistant professor at Tohoku University and began her research. She became a professor in 2017, and launched her university startup, Phytochemical Products, Inc. in 2018. In 2004, Naomi discovered a method for the continuous production of biofuels using an ion-exchange resin catalysts, and subsequently achieved the simultaneous production of vitamin E, with several practical systems in operation in Japan.
