The types of waste from palm oil mills

  Palm oil mill effluents as a result of processing the fruit into oil palm and palm kernel in the form of solid and liquid. Palm oil mill waste is not dumped but reused as fuel and compost. The solid waste consists of; empty fruit bunches, fiber / fiber, shell and solid. While the liquid waste that is liquid product derived from de oiling pond.

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.

Sterilizer

  Sterilizer is a pressurized vessel (steam pressure) which is used to reduce the water content of oil palm fruit, facilitate the release of munitions and inactivate fruit loose activating activity of harmful enzymes (lipase and oxydase) Currently sterilizer has several types, namely: sterilizer horizontal, vertical and oblique. Sterilizer horizontal flat-shaped cylinders with diameters ranging from lorry capacity up to 7500 kg 1500 kg TBS, the inside of the cooking there are rails for lorries and steam spreader. While the vertical sterilizer is a vertical cylindrical tube built but not equipped with a rail lorries, the inside of the sterilizer is equipped with 2 pieces of conveyor (Archer and discharge auger) to facilitate the discharge pipe in the fruit and let boil / drain clean water. Likewise, the oblique sterilizer , no significant differences in vertical sterilizer only about 45-degree slope is only aimed at ease spending boiled ripe fruit.

Part of Loading Ramp

  Parts of loading ramp is not too much, because this installation not a machine but compiled from a number of profile steels. Part of loading ramp is consisted: Bays, that is part of construction of floor place of heap palm fruit keeled over 27-30 degrees that palm fruit can go down easily Door of loading ramp, that is peripatetic equipment fluctuateed to arrange number of palm fruits coming into lori/fruit scrapper conveyor.

Land Aplication

Handling of liquid waste end has two ways that is throwing away end product from final pond to river body or applies liquid waste product to areal palm estate x'self so-called land aplication. To throw away liquid waste to river body must as according to quality standard which has been specified by (indonesian environment ministry) Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup No 51/menLH/10/95 About Standard Quality Of Palm oil mill effluent which not contaminate environment. While for exploiting of palm oil mill effluent wastete to land aplication must as according to (Indonesian environment ministry's regulation)Kep MenLH No. 28 the year 2003 about technical reference manual examination exploiting of Effluent from Oil palm industry at soil in palm estate.

Maintenance of Loading Ramp

  Care and maintenance of loading ramp is not lah too complicated and difficult, daily treatment only covers sweeping of work environment from garbage and fruit loose, sweeping of wheel and ensel-engsel door, inspection of leaky  hydraulic seal. While for weekly treatment is done [by] sweeping of grille loading ramp from concerning garbage.

Laboratory

Laboratory is equipment of control to process and quality of production. Laboratory functioned if the trustworthy and enough equipments. Trustworthy equipment must be calibrated periodical and operated by analist is training. Result of laboratory analysis serve the purpose of evaluation material by management to process happened. For the purpose need to be made retrieval standard and sample analysis. This standard need to be ins order not to invite analysis yield variance signifikan between sift I with sift II for the same parameter as result of procedures that is is not is standard.
