Abstract

The palm oil processing industry requires an efficient kernel-shell separation process to improve product quality and minimize kernel losses. One commonly used method is the claybath system that utilizes the density difference between the kernel and shell using a calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) solution. However, using large amounts of CaCO₃ can increase operational costs and generate waste. This study aims to analyze the effect of combining Bunch Ash (oil palm empty fruit bunch ash) with CaCO₃ on the effectiveness of the claybath process. The research method uses an experimental approach with five mixture compositions: 0:100, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25, and 100:0. The parameters observed include reductions in dirt content and kernel losses. The results showed that a mixture of 25% Bunch Ash and 75% CaCO₃ gave the best results with an average reduction in dirt content of 56.44% and a reduction in losses of around 86.66%. These results indicate that Bunch Ash has the potential to be a partial substitute for CaCO₃ in clay bath systems, thereby increasing process efficiency and supporting the utilization of biomass waste in the palm oil industry.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the feasibility of using 500-ton and 1000-ton Crude Palm Oil (CPO) storage tanks in a palm oil mill. The evaluation is based on the roundshell thickness, operating temperature, and hydrostatic pressure acting on the tanks. A descriptive quantitative method was applied using primary and secondary data from PMKS Simpang Gambir. The results showed that for the 500-ton tank, the calculated roundshell thickness is 8.6 mm, the actual is 8.87 mm, and the design is 9 mm, with a hydrostatic pressure of 5.73 Pa. For the 1000-ton tank, the calculated thickness is 13.1 mm, the actual thickness is 13.8 mm, and the design thickness is 14 mm, with a hydrostatic pressure of 11.46 Pa. The corrosion rates are 0.00072 mm/month and 0.0011 mm/month, respectively. Based on the analysis, the 500-ton tank is feasible for continued use for approximately 31 years, and the 1000-ton tank for 53 years, assuming constant corrosion rates.
