This book reports the latest work on green technologies in palm oil milling processes, including new processes and various optimisation techniques. It covers the latest developments on palm oil milling process with new technologies, alternative solvent design, residual oil recovery, palm oil mill effluent treatment, palm biomass supply chain, as well as ecoindustrial park concept. The book is intended for industrial practitioners and academics interested in green technologies for palm oil milling processes.

Computer-aided molecular design for alternative solvent for oil extraction from Palm Pressed Fibre.- High vitamin oils through sub –critical water extraction process.- Squalenes production though super-critical CO2.- Solvent crystalisation for phospholipids.- Simulation of palm oil milling processes.- Numerical Methods to Estimate Biomass Calorifix Value via Biomass Characteristics Index.- Economic Viability of Disruptive Technologies from Palm Oil Milling Processes. 
Prof Ir Dr Dominic C. Y. Foo is a Professor of Process Design and Integration at the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus, and is the Founding Director for the Centre of Excellence for Green Technologies. He is a Fellow of the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE), a Chartered Engineer with the UK Engineering Council, a Professional Engineer with the Board of Engineer Malaysia (BEM), past chairman of the Chemical Engineering Technical Division of the Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM), as well as the Vice President for the Asia Pacific Confederation of Chemical Engineering (APCChE).
