This study investigates the design of a stirred batch reactor with scale-up for the degumming of crude palm oil (CPO) using phosphoric acid (H3PO4). Laboratory-scale experiments were conducted in a triple-neck round vessel, followed by a scale-up to a larger-scale flat-bottom stirred tank reactor....
