The design of a Distillation column is necessary for cracking of palm oil to produce oleochemicals. The proposed distillation column is to crack 500Kg per day of palm oil aimed at producing Fatty acid ethyl ester (oleochemicals). This figure was chosen as the basis of the design. Also the energy and material balance of the distillation column was calculated. Finally the equipment design for the distillation column was carried out. The number of plates required is 17 plates with column diameter and height of 0.1m and 11.55m respectively. The study shows the importance of a distillation column in cracking of palm oil which buttresses the point that complete conversion of triglyceride to oleochemicals can be achieved with the aid of a fractionating column.
