Abstract This paper calls attention to the increased interest in tall oil production within the past 5 years and the simultaneous increase in the market price of tall oil. It points out that tall oil has grown from a relatively unknown product to a well established commodity of considerable commercial importance, which has given kraft pulp mills a renewed interest in soap skimming. This paper also covers the state of the art in soap skimming.
