Abstract (2. Language): 
Palm oil was cracked for the production of oleochemicals. The factorial design (FFD) was used to obtain a quadratic model, consisting of factorial trials to estimate quadratic effects. To examine catalytic cracking of palm oil the combined effect of the three different factors (independent variables): temperature, time and catalyst weight were studied on the yield of oleochemicals production and a model was derived from a full factorial designs of 3-level 3-factors design of experiment. For thermal cracking process (i.e. without Catalyst), full factorial designs of 3-level 2-factors design of experiment was used. Clay was used as the catalyst in the catalytic phase and analysis of variance, ANOVA was carried out to determine the adequacy of the obtained models. The ANOVA showed that the model was able to predict both thermal and catalytic cracking processes and there is an interactive effect between the process parameters only for catalytic cracking.
