Philippine International Dev., Inc. The company’s primary activity is in the processing and export of coconut products. It’s export products consist of crude coconut oil, refined bleached deodorized (rbd) coconut oil, cochin coconut oil and copra expeller cake. In the period from 1998-2003, the company operated a Mazzoni continuous saponification plant using neutral oils as raw material. In 2007 the oleo chemical plant became operational producing fatty acid derived soap noodle, different cuts of fatty acids and refined glycerine. Locally, it markets it “Washington” brand of cooking oil, “Datu” laundry bars and “Viva” detergent bars. The local sales comprises a very small portion of its total sales. Aside from it’s manufacturing activities, it leases out commercial as well as warehouse spaces. Its export revenue for 2007 was about $ 30 million. The company was formed in 1959 and took over the physical faciliÏies of the then exisiting Wee Kun Coprax Industry and Co., Inc. It is an all-Filipino owned corporation and has no ties with any foreign-owned companies. “Washington” edible oil, “Datu” laundry bar and “Viva” detergent bars are registered products of the company. It’s copra crushing is rated at 375 metric tons per day. It’s physical refinery is rated at 250 metric tons per day. Soap making facilities are rated at about 100 metric tons per day. The fat splitting capacity is 125 mt per day.

Services Production Process and Capacities 1. Production Activities For coconut oil and copra expeller cake – copra, the dried coconut meat is physically reduced in size and fed to cracking and flaking rollers which further reduces the size of the copra particle and open up the oil bearing fibers. It is then heated up to about 90 deg. Centrigrade in a steam rotary dryer and then fed to expellers which mechanically extracts the oil. The crude coconut oal emanating from the expellers is pumped into a filter press where solid particles and impurities are filtered out. The clear crude coconut oil is then pumped into storage tanks. The copra expeller cake coming out of the expellers is cooled down to about 35 deg. Centrigrade in a vertical cake cooler and conveyed to the copra cake storage warehouse. (see flow sheet)

For refined/cochin coconut oil – crude coconut oil from the storage tanks is initially degummed using citric acid and then dosed with a mixture of activated bleaching clay and activated carbon. The mixture is heated up to about 100 deg. Centigrade and filtered by means of pressure leaf filters. The filtered oil is further heated to about 250 deg. Centigrade and fed to the stripping column where the fatty acid is removed and the oil is deodorized. The processed oil is then cooled down to about 50 deg. Centrigrade, filtered by means of bag polishing filters and pumped to storage.

For fatty acids – neutral oils such as coconut oil or palm oil is fed under pressure into a fat splitter and under temperatures exceeding 250 deg. C split into fatty acids and crude glycerine. The fatty acid stream is fed into fractionation and distillation columns

were different fatty acid cuts are derived. The crude glycerine is concentrated, treated and then distilled into refined glycerine.

For soap noodle – different fractions of fatty acids depending on market requirements are combined and reacted with caustic soda to form liquid soap. This is then spray dried and extruded into soap noodle.

Power is presently drawn from the NPC Mindanao grid thru the local cooperative. Monthly average consumption is about 400,000 kw-hr. The company has standby generators with total capacity of about 4.5 MW. Pier with 12.0 m draft and 86 m berth length capable to take in 40-50,000 mt DWT ocean going vessels. Plant site – 4 hectares located within the city proper along the seashore zoned for heavy industries. The company employs about 100 regular workers. It operates its oil mill on 3 shifts of 8 hours each/day. Raw Material Consumption Copra Activated bleaching clay Activated carbon

History and Status of Operation Operational since founding. At times when copra supply is low, operations would be curtailed. Normally it would operate on an average 25 days a month, 12 months a year. Non-operation time is used for services and maintenance of machinery.
