Indonesia has been placed as the world's first producer of crude palm oil and crude palm oil.  In producing crude palm oil (CPO) and palm kernel oil (PKO), the palm oil industry relies heavily on processing fresh fruit bunches (FFB) at palm oil mills (POM) and is traded internationally. However, this process also produces solid organic waste [  i.e. empty bunches (EFB)], which reach up to 25 %% of FFB.  The analysis shows that the application of empty bunches as organic fertilizer has not been able to increase the amount of nutrients in palm oil leaves and increase palm oil production.  Application of palm oil mill effluent which is able to increase the amount of nutrients in palm oil, especially nitrogen and phosphate, and a positive impact to increase the production of oil palm plantations, especially on productivity (tons / ha).

The problem faced by the palm oil industry today is the instability of the Crude Palm Oil (CPO) yield.  The condition of Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) starting from the time of harvesting to transporting to the factory, including during stockpiling at the palm oil mill, is an influential factor affecting the yield of CPO.  This study aimed to find the factors causing instability of CPO yield in the palm oil industry.  I-MR control maps and fishbone diagrams were used to analyze the factors that cause low CPO yields.  From the data analysis for three years, the evidence of CPO yield was not statistically controlled.  The causative factor of CPO yield instability included the quality of raw materials, production equipment, character of workers, and environmental conditions, with the dominating factor was the low quality of raw materials.

A typical palm oil mill produces crude palm oil, crude palm kernel oil and other biomass from fresh fruit bunches. While the milling process is well established in the industry, insufficient research and development has been done on analyzing the operational performance of a mill. Factors such as operating time and fruit availability affect the performance of a palm oil mill (e.g., capital, operating and labor costs). This paper presents an input-output model to optimize the operations of a palm oil mill based on maximum economic performance. Following this, feasible operating range analysis (FORA) is performed to study the utilization and flexibility of the process. A palm oil mill case study in Malaysia is used to illustrate the proposed approach. Based on the optimized results, it was found that 37% reduction in capital cost and 49% increase in economic performance is achieved. Meanwhile, the utilization index of the mill during peak season increases from 0.48 to 0.76.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor penentu besaran Indeks K dimana nilai Indeks K ini digunakan untuk penetapan harga Tandan Buah Segar kelapa sawit (TBS) yang dipedomi oleh perusahaan pabrik kelapa sawit dan petani. Analisis regresi dilakukan terhadap data historis bulanan dari tahun 2001 sampai 2012 yang bersumber dari data penetapan harga TBS di Dinas Perkebunan Provinsi Jambi. Dengan tingkat kesesuaian model (R2) sebesar 41.9, pengujian hipotesis pengaruh biaya pengolahan TBS menjadi Crude Palm Oil (CPO) dan minyak Inti Sawit (Palm Kernel Oil), biaya pemasaran, biaya penyusutan dan biaya operasional tidak langsung terhadap besaran indek K menunjukkan bahwa, harga biaya tidak langsung yang berpengaruh nyata terhadap besaran nilai Indeks K, sementara variabel lainnya berpengaruh negatif tetapi tidak nyata dengan tingkat kepercayaan 10 persen. Kebijakan Pabrik Kelapa Sawit (PKS) dalam pembelian TBS menunjukkan bahwa PKS dengan Pola PIR Trans plus KKPA menetapkan harga di bawah harga ketetapan, sementara PKS pada pola PIR menetapkan harga di bawah harga ketetapan. Dari hasil penelitian juga ditemukan bahwa perusahaan yang mengelola kebun dengan pola KKPA menetapkan harga beli sesuai dengan ketetapan Tim Penetapan Harga TBS.

The remarkable growth of palm oil industry in Malaysia is undeniable. Approximately, one million ton of crude palm oil is produced by the industry in a month, thus put Malaysia as one of the largest producer in the world. Most of the mills are operated on cogeneration system, where the biomass residue of palm fibre and shell are used as fuel in the mill boilers mostly to generate steam and also electricity. This practise however produced considerable amount of particulates in terms of fly ash emitting to the environment. Thus, this study is to evaluate the particulate emission from five palm oil mill boilers with steam capacity ranging from 17-35 tonne/h. The results showed that the average particulate emission concentration exiting the stack was 2.21±1.20 g/Nm3 (corrected to 7% oxygen concentration), ranging from 0.42 to 3.77 g/Nm3. The study suggests that the fuel feed rates of fiber and shell was one of the parameters affecting the emission concentration in the boiler. Particulate morphology were also being presented in this study.

A palm oil mill produces crude palm oil, crude palm kernel oil and other biomass from fresh fruit bunches. Although the milling process is well established in the industry, insufficient research and development reported in optimising and analysing the operations of a palm oil mill. The performance of a palm oil mill (e.g., costs, utilisation and flexibility) is affected by factors such as operating time, capacity and fruit availability. This paper presents a hybrid combined mathematical programming and graphical approach to solve and analyse a palm oil mill case study in Malaysia. The hybrid approach consists of two main steps: (1) optimising a palm oil milling process to achieve maximum economic performance via input-output optimisation model (IOM); and (2) performing a feasible operating range analysis (FORA) to study the utilisation and flexibility of the developed design. Based on the optimised results, the total equipment units needed is reduced from 39 to 26 unit, bringing down the total capital investment by US$6.86 million (from 18.42 to 11.56 million US$) with 23% increment in economic performance (US$0.82 million/y) achieved. An analysis is presented to show the changes in utilisation and flexibility of the mill against capital investment. During the peak crop season, the utilisation index increases from 0.6 to 0.95 while the flexibility index decreases from 0.4 to 0.05.

AbstractThe nanoformulations of pesticides have shown great interest from many parties due to their slow release capability and site-specific delivery. Hence, in this work, a new nanoformulation of a fungicide, namely chitosan-hexaconazole nanoparticles with a mean diameter size of 18 nm was subjected to the residual analysis on oil palm tissue, leaf and palm oil (crude palm oil and crude palm kernel oil) using a quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe (QuEChERS) method coupled with the gas chromatography–micro electron capture detector (GC–µECD). The chitosan-hexaconazole nanoparticles were applied using the trunk injection method at 4.5 g a.i./palm (standard single dose) and 9.0 g a.i./palm (double dose). The fungicide residue was analyzed at 0 (6 h after application), 1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 60, 90, and 120 days after treatment. The palm oil matrices; the crude palm oil (CPO) and crude palm kernel oil (CPKO) were found to be residue-free. However, it was observed that high accumulation of the fungicide in the stem tissue and leaf after the treatment using the chitosan-hexaconazole nanoparticles, which is good for better bioavailability for the treatment of the fungi, Ganoderma boninense. The dissipation kinetic at double dose treatment in the tissue and leaf was found to govern by the second-order kinetic with half-lives (t1/2) of 383 and 515 days, respectively.
