The palm oil processing industry in which produces Crude Palm Oil (CPO) generally uses boilers. The combustion process with a boiler will produce pollutants in the form of particulates (dust), and gases such as NO2 and SO2. There are two palm oil processing industries in Muaro Jambi District that use different fuels: coal and oil palm shell. The purpose of this study was to determine the ratio of SO2, NO2 and particulate concentration in industries that use coal and oil palm shell.  Primary data taken in the form of concentrations of SO2, NO2 and particulates also meteorological data. Secondary data taken in the form of map area, height and diameter of the boiler, and production capacity. Sampling time is in the morning, afternoon and evening which is repeated in 3 times. The results showed that the comparison of NO2 and SO2 concentrations produced from coal-fired boilers was higher than shell-fired boilers, but both were still below the quality standard. Particulate concentrations in the palm oil processing industry that use coal-fired boilers are above the quality standard, while shell-fired boilers still meet quality standards.

Downstream palm oil industry development through concept application of cluster in North Sumatra province is become the hope of government to increase added value and competitiveness of product, but whether this concept can boost the competitiveness of the palm oil industry, remains a challenge. This is mainly related to the diversity of actors in the supply chain industry and competition in a global market that include environmental aspects. Therefore, industry cluster analysis from perspective of the supply chain of palm oil processing industry to be interesting. This study uses a qualitative exploratory approach, and primary data obtained by in-depth interviews of actors in the supply chain of palm oil processing industry in North Sumatra province in 2013 up to 2015. The analysis showed that smallholder plantations have a considerable contribution in supplying raw materials Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) for palm oil processing industry, hence the existence of smallholder plantations can not be excluded in the development of downstream palm oil industry. Furthermore, the results of this study also indicate that they need to encourage the establishment of governance structures industry palm oil supply chain, improvement strategies, distribution, and justice so that the distribution of benefits for the actors in the supply chain can be awakened. In this regard, efforts to promote sustainable plantation industry business is still very necessary, especially to preserve biodiversity and benefit all actors in the supply chain of palm oil industry.

It is based on the fact that small-scale coconut oil processing in micro-scale businesses is facing serious threats and competition with palm oil produced by large and medium-sized entrepreneurs, resulting in a downturn in business as well as weakening the motivation of coconut farmers to process coconut production into coconut oil. As a result, coconut farmers in their daily lives actually buy palm oil processed by large and medium entrepreneurs, while their businesses are getting worse. In line with this, through this research, an analysis of the obstacles and opportunities for the development of the people's coconut oil processing industry was carried out. The purpose of this study was to analyze the barriers to developing the people's coconut oil processing industry on a micro-scale business and to analyze the opportunities for developing the people's coconut oil processing industry on a micro-scale business. The research method is through a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) to identify obstacles and opportunities for developing the coconut oil processing industry, followed by Analysis Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine priority problems and priority opportunities that should be carried out by multi-stakeholders for the development of the coconut oil processing industry. The results showed that the priority obstacles to the development of the coconut oil processing industry in micro-scale businesses in Konawe Islands Regency were product marketing problems, financial capital, and business funding problems, production equipment problems, skilled labor issues, raw material problems, micro-business protection policy issues, business organization, and management problems, as well as problems in the use of information technology and innovation. The priority of opportunities for the development of the micro-scale coconut oil processing industry in Konawe Kepualauan Regency is the presence of economic value by-products of coconut oil processing, namely shell charcoal, nata de coco, and coconut coir, there is a tendency for people to consume more coconut oil than consume coconut oil. Palm oil, the existence of a government program to encourage the coconut processing industry, and the nutritional value that is unique to coconut oil. Organizational and business management problems, as well as problems in the use of information technology and innovation.

Indonesia is the biggest producer of palm oil in the world. Palm oil empty fruit bunches is the biggest waste generated by the palm oil processing industry. However, utilization of the palm oil empty bunches has been not optimal. The palm oil empty fruit bunches have potential to be developed into a medium for growing mushroom because it has a high cellulose content. However, the high content of cellulose and lignin in palm oil empty fruit bunches is difficult to decompose into organic material that need for mushroom growth. The composting processes of empty fruit bunches can be increased by using Effective Microorganism (EM4). This study aims to understanding the role of Effective Microorganism 4 (EM4) on Volvariella volvaceae cultivation processes that used Empty Fruit Bunches compost. This research was conducted by composted the empty fruit bunch with different concentration of EM-4 there are 0%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%. Parameters observed were number of mushrooms, weight of mushrooms and C / N ratio of compost. The results showed that EM-4 had reduce C/N ratio of empty bunch palm oil compost, C/N ratio was not affected mushroom production and EM4 was affected mushroom production, the highest production reached by concentration of 15% that had not significant with concentration of 5%, 10% and 20%. At concentration of 25% mushroom production was decreased. It is probably there are several mechanisms by EM4 microorganisms containing that affected mushrooms production.

Abstract The Monier-Williams and the iodometric Committee methods were evaluated for the determination of bisulfite in potato products. Both methods showed critical problems in accuracy and precision at concentrations below 60 ppm. Sensitivity levels of 25 ppm are possible with the Monier-Williams method. However, accuracy problems reflected by the coefficients of variation (Monier-Williams, 47.4%; Committee, 78.2%) as well as variability in recoveries and blank values for both methods produce qualitative rather than quantitative analytical data at low SO2 concentrations
