Application of New Things

 

 

Many technologies developed in the oil industry, today is a curious Vertical Sterilizer. Generally, palm oil mills in sterilizer horizontal / horizontal, but currently some vendors in the neighboring country to make large-scale vertical sterilizer.

Of course there are advantages and disadvantages between the vertical and horizontal sterilizer.

We must anticipate that there is excess (generally put forward the excess of course) do not get the advantages offered to cover the shortfall is far worse.

If there are deficiencies that must be covered with make / buy a new machine should certainly be taken into account the costs to be incurred compared with the value that can be saved by such equipment.

The next consideration is the level of stagnation will arise, time / level of difficulty experienced to repair the damage and price of spare parts to be purchased every event of damage and total loss arising from the plant stagnation.

Many things need to be considered given the existing work stations at the plant oil palm does not stand alone, but support each other to obtain maximum results though. Eg sterilizer in addition to boil the fruit, the results should facilitate the installation next, not saddled with high loose in condensate, empty fruit bunches, if the capacity falls (transport fruit only rely on a path that led to Scrapper conveyor conveyor over flow digester function was not optimal) .
Absorption of new technology to replace the old installations must consider the existing layout. Do not get to change the lay out will increase the number of required investment cost so that the future will add to the cost of care.
Parts that become victims of change is the transport of fruit (Fresh Bunches Scrapper conveyor) which generally will increase the length. Fruit distribution channels is a critical path, if disturbed would stop processing plant will be threatened. Spare parts are generally pieces of transportation consists of a chain that has a certain standard by a certain price and the difficulty level of improvement is quite high (especially transport fruit over head and Declined)
If this is new (such as vertical sterilizer) is applied at mill new or outside the palm oil mills (such as compost made from raw plant empty fruit bunches) reasonable considering the high flexibility applied to regulate plant layout in order to obtain high efficiency installations

Do not be overcome existing deficiencies on vertical sterilizer like taking a bucket to collect rain water stream rather than against leakage.
