Palm Acid Oil (PAO) is a biofuel feedstock derived from Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME). PAO is a by-product of the chemical refining of palm oil and consists of FFA (over 50%) and neutral oil, with 2-3% moisture and other impurities.
It is very similar to palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD), but its FFA is generally lower. PAO is increasingly used for mixing in biofuel transportation fuel.

Used as a renewable raw material in biofuels production.
The largest waste by-product generated during the production of CPO is palm oil mill effluent (POME). For every ton of CPO produced, 2.9 tons of POME is generated. POME is the result of large quantities of steam and hot water used to clean the fruit and separate the shell and cake from the palm fruit.
The water and steam are washed away on the mill floor and directed to waste ponds that gather the POME residue. Once the PAO is processed and extracted from the POME, the PAO residue can be sold as a feedstock to produce 2nd generation biofuels.
