description The process of extraction of oil palm seeks to separate principally the emulsions oil-waters down muds presents using technologies of sedimentation and/or centrifugation; nevertheless, the losses in different flows of the process persist, and to reduce them it implies increasing the size of the equipments. The work consisted of submitting two process flows: liquor of press and recovered of evaluated were from 10 s up to (even) 60 s with increases relations of dilution were evaluated oil/water and the results were compared with the profiles of speed and efficiency of sedimentation for samples of the same fluids without were radiated. Finally tests were realized to the oil to determine if they exist or not effects on the quality of the same one on the part ot the microwaves. In general, to submit the above mentioned emulsions to microwave during times than a minute, they improve the speed of sedimentation and specifically for recoverd ones of centrifugal also the efficiency of sedimentation is improved; demosntrating that it is possible to break the balances of charges and polarities in the emulsions to atmperature lower than the used one in the process (between 55°C-65°C). Thought the project does not allow the inmediate applicatio in the plants of benefit, if it demonstrates that a favorable effect of the microwaves exists in the breach of emulsions for what it is suitable to continue investigating in this field.

El trabajo consistió en someter a microondas dos flujos de proceso: licor de prensa y recuperados de centrífuga, los tiempos de exposición evaluados fueron desde 10 hasta 60 s con  incrementos de 10 s, para el caso de  licor de prensa  también fueron evaluadas diferentes relaciones de dilución aceite/agua y los resultados fueron comparados con  los perfiles de velocidad y  eficiencia de  sedimentación,  para muestras  de  estos mismos  fluidos  sin  ser irradiadas (testigos). Finalmente se realizaron pruebas de aceite para determinar  si  existen o no  efectos  sobre  la calidad del mismo por parte de  las microondas.En  general,  someter  dichas  emulsiones  a  microondas durante  tiempos  inferiores  a  un  minuto,  mejoran  la velocidad de sedimentación y específicamente para  los recuperados de centrífuga  también se mejora  la eficiencia de  sedimentación, demostrando que  es posible  romper los equilibrios de cargas y polaridades en  las emulsiones a una temperatura más baja que la utilizada en el proceso (entre 55  °C  - 65  °C). Aunque  el proyecto no permite la  aplicación  inmediata  en  las  plantas  de  beneficio, si  demuestra  que  existe  un  efecto  favorable  de  las microondas en el rompimiento de emulsiones, por lo que  es conveniente continuar  investigando en este campo.
