Client Profile
Client:
A Large Palm Oil Processing Company in Sumatra, Indonesia
Industry: Palm Oil Processing (CPO – Crude Palm Oil)
Capacity: 2 Processing Plants, 600 Tons/Day Production
Application Scope: Oil extraction, refining, storage & transport
What type of stainless steel pipe is used in palm oil processing?
ASTM A312 TP304 and TP316 stainless steel pipes are commonly used in palm oil processing due to their high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and durability in continuous industrial operations.
Project Overview
Indonesia is one of the world's largest palm oil producers, with continuous demand for high-performance industrial piping systems.
In this project, the client upgraded its processing plant to improve production efficiency and reduce maintenance downtime. The system required 200 tons of stainless steel welded pipes, mainly for:
High-temperature oil transport
Steam pipelines
Refining systems
Storage transfer systems

Core Pain Points
1. High Temperature Operation 🔥
Palm oil processing involves:
Oil heating (up to 200°C)
Steam systems
Continuous thermal cycles
⚠️ Problem:
Low-quality pipes may deform or lose strength under heat.
2. Corrosive Processing Environment
Although not as aggressive as seafood, palm oil systems still involve:
Organic acids
Moisture exposure
Residual chemicals
3. Continuous Production
Factories operate 24/7, meaning:
Pipe failure = full production shutdown
Maintenance = high cost
