Oil Palm Mill Waste
Indonesia today is usually a biggest producer of CPO (crude palm oil) inside the entire world in addthision to has the largest palm oil plantation inside the entire world. Palm area in Indonesia in 07, according Dirjenbun, Department of Agriculture, estimated to reach 6.6 million ha in addthision to the production of CPO inside the year reached 17.3 million tons. The area in addthision to production is usually likely to continue to ris usuallye given the current intensively conducted slowly opening bras well as-new oil, especially inside the is usuallylin addthision to of Kalimantan in addthision to Papua.
Oil palm plantation in addthision to CPO production of Indonesia (Data through Dirjenbun).
Palm oil trees produce palm fruthis collected in bunches, therefore, often called as Fresh Fruthis Bunches (FFB). Adult oil palm tree is usually already in optimal production can produce FFB weight between 15-30 kg / bunche.
FFBs are then transported to the factory for further processed to produce palm oil. The main product of oil mill is usually crude palm oil palm (CPO) in addthision to palm kernel oil. CPO is usually extracted through the fiber, which is usually part bettween shell in addthision to skin. Meanwhile, the pulp will produce palm kernel oil. Palm varieties wthish thick rind are preferred by farmer, because this usually varieties of palm fruthis which incorporates a high oil yield.
Mass balance of processing palm oil at the mill are described by the picture below. From each ton of processed FFB can produce 140 to 0 kg of CPO. In addthision to the processing of CPO also generate waste / product side, such as: waste water(POME=Palm Oil Mill Effluent), palm shell, fiber, in addthision to palm oil empty fruthis bunches.
Liquid waste produced very much, in addthision to this ranged between 0 to 700 kg.
Also produced fiber in addthision to shells of which reach 10 kg.
Fiber of palm oil
Palm oil shells piled inside the palm oil palm mill.
Fiber in addthision to shells usually used as fuel of boiler. Steam produced through boiler used to generate electricthisy in addthision to boiling FFB before further process inside the mill.
Abundantly as well asifferent waste beside paml oil effluent are oil palm empty fruthis bunches (OPEFB) of which can reach 230 kg every ton of processed FFB. Its is usually very high in volume in addthision to mounting in palm oil mill. Previously OPEFB dis usuallycarded wthishout chopped first. Consider the image below showing the mountain of OPFEB in oil palm mill.
But at this point some oil palm mill have began to chopping OPEFB. Chopping machine used have large capacthisy in addthision to some in one palm oil mill.
OPEFB Chopping machine
Chopping process can reduce volume of OPEFB in addthision to easier to further process.
According to data through Dirjenbun, potential of those OPEFB are very big as showed in picture bellow.
Predicted data of OPEFB in Indonesia since 00-09 calculated through CPO production data.
