This report presents a comprehensive cost evaluation of the production of fatty acid C18 or stearic acid via hydrolyzation, hydrogenation and distillation. The process involves hydrolyzation of palm oil or other grease oils to give the fatty acids, followed by hydrogenation in the presence of a nickel catalyst, maintaining temperature and pressure conditions to increase the yield. The hydrogenated fatty acids are then distilled in a distillation tower to separate the stearic acid from the mixture and purify it, giving pure stearic acid.
