Abstract

The agricultural sector is one of the main pillars of the economy in Koto Tangah District. Increasing agricultural production requires the support of fertilizer availability in terms of quantity and price. In order to provide fertilizer at competitive prices, fertilizers are needed at low prices and are environmentally friendly. This community service activity is given to the community in Lubuk Minturun Village in the form of training in the manufacture of liquid organic fertilizer (POC) with a fermentation process and extracts of lemongrass. The main ingredient of this fertilizer is rice waste which can be easily collected by local people. The training covers the process of making fertilizer, the fermentation process to packaging. Lemongrass extract is added to increase nutrients in the soil and reduce odors from the fermentation process. The proposing team took this theme in order to provide an alternative for making POCs to the community in Lubuk Minturun Village in the hope of contributing to local flower or fruit plant nurseries. In this case, the proposing team took Lubuk Minturun Village as a model because this area is located close to the ATI Padang Polytechnic Campus, so that it can help the lives of the people around the campus.

Abstract

Bleaching Earth (BE), primarily derived from Bentonite, is widely used in the bleaching process of Crude Palm Oil (CPO). Its efficiency depends on the proportions of SiO₂ and Al₂O₃, which enable effective pigment absorption. This study evaluates the performance of unmodified Bentonite, nano SiO₂-modified Bentonite, and commercial BE in producing Bleached Palm Oil (BPO). The novelty lies in the nano SiO₂ modification, designed to enhance the structural properties and absorption capabilities of Bentonite. Characterization of BE was conducted using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), while BPO quality was assessed through parameters like moisture content, acid value, Free Fatty Acid (FFA) levels, (Deterioration of Bleachability Index (DOBI), and β-carotene concentration. The results showed that BPO processed with nano SiO₂-modified Bentonite had the lowest β-carotene concentration (443%) and a DOBI value of 1.453, demonstrating superior bleaching performance compared to unmodified and commercial BE. Other parameters, including FFA levels and moisture content, exhibited minimal variation. Color analysis revealed that BPO processed with nano SiO₂-modified Bentonite achieved a comparable color value (1.5/15) to commercial BE. These findings highlight the potential of nano SiO₂-modified bentonite for improving oil quality by reducing FFA and acid value while maintaining optimal moisture content, offering a novel and effective alternative to unmodified bentonite in oil refining.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of temperature on the Kernel Silo Dryer toward the moisture content of palm kernels at PT XYZ. Moisture control in palm kernels is crucial to ensuring optimal crude palm kernel oil (CPKO) quality. The drying process using a Kernel Silo Dryer was conducted at varying temperatures of 40°C, 50°C, and 60°C for three hours. Results indicated that higher drying temperatures resulted in lower kernel moisture content. At 60°C, the kernel moisture content reached the desired standard below 7%. However, at 40°C and 50°C, the moisture content exceeded the specified limit, increasing the risk of mould growth and reducing kernel quality. Key factors influencing drying efficiency include heater condition, steam pressure from the Back Pressure Vessel (BPV), and equipment cleanliness. Therefore, temperature optimisation and proper maintenance are essential to improve drying efficiency and maintain kernel quality.

Abstract

Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) contains a high organic load and requires effective treatment to prevent environmental pollution while enabling energy recovery. Anaerobic digestion is widely applied for POME treatment due to its ability to reduce organic pollutants and produce methane-rich biogas; however, its performance is highly dependent on process stability. This study aims to evaluate the stability of the anaerobic digestion process of POME through correlation analysis among volatile fatty acids (VFA), total alkalinity (TA), suspended solids (SS), and methane content (CH₄) using field operational data. The study was conducted at an industrial-scale biogas plant treating POME, where slurry samples were collected periodically from multiple biodigester units representing different digestion stages. VFA and TA were analyzed using acid–base titration, SS by gravimetric method, and methane content using a gas analyzer. The results show that the anaerobic digestion process operated under stable mesophilic conditions (35 ± 2 °C) with reactor pH maintained in the optimal range of 6.8–7.5. VFA concentrations remained relatively low (approximately 480–510 mg/L), supported by sufficient alkalinity (about 5,600 mg/L as CaCO₃), resulting in a low VFA/TA ratio (~0.09), indicating stable process conditions. A significant reduction in COD from approximately 41,700 ppm in the influent to about 7,200 ppm in the effluent was achieved, corresponding to a COD removal efficiency of 83%. Methane content in the biogas remained stable at ≥55%, supporting effective energy utilization without flaring. These results demonstrate that maintaining a balanced relationship among VFA, alkalinity, suspended solids, and operating conditions is essential for ensuring stable anaerobic digestion and consistent biogas quality in industrial-scale POME treatment systems.

Abstract

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is a high-strength agro-industrial wastewater whose management governs both environmental performance and operational resilience of palm oil mills. Treatment trains optimized solely for COD/BOD reduction often accumulate operational penalties under feed variability, including scaling, sludge burden, and persistent polishing demands, rather than forming a controllable value-generating platform. This review reframes nutrient recovery from POME as a fertilizer manufacturing problem embedded in a wastewater system, where removal does not equal recovery unless nutrients are transferred into a defined product phase with mass-balanced yield, controlled composition, impurity management, and agronomic function. Anaerobic digestion is positioned as a pivotal pivot point because it converts organic load to methane while producing an anaerobically digested liquor that is operationally more suitable for targeted nutrient recovery than raw POME. Using a PRISMA-ScR scoping review with a systematic search, evidence was mapped across three coupled outcome domains: water reuse/reclamation, energy recovery (biogas/CH₄), and nutrient circularity (N–P recovery and derived products). The synthesis compares unit operations by function and operability constraints, then assembles feasible combinations into a process superstructure and a decision roadmap for pathway selection under mill constraints. Findings emphasize that raw POME and anaerobically digested POME are not interchangeable feedstocks: raw POME is dominated by solids/colloids that hinder selective recovery and contaminate products, while post-digestion variability is more chemistry-driven and governs precipitation windows and membrane stability. Recovery options converge toward hybrid systems integrating crystallization (struvite/phosphate minerals), adsorption/ion exchange with regenerability, membrane concentration including fertilizer-drawn forward osmosis, and biological assimilation (microalgae), with fouling, scaling, and crystallization inhibition as decisive design variables. Overall, meaningful nutrient recovery from POME is achieved only when fertilizer grade products are produced while simultaneously reducing compliance risk and operational burden.

Abstract

The understanding and compliance with the regulations of the Drug and Food Supervisory Authority (BPOM) in the food industry, especially for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia should be a concern for entrepreneurs so that the products produced are acceptable to modern society today. The packaging process is one of the efforts to maintain the quality, safety and hygiene of products, also as a medium of promotion and information of products marketed to consumers. MSMEs Kampioen becomes an object in the community service activities carried out by the Team of Polytechnic ATI Padang due to the eligibility of partners and business permits that already meet the existing legality. Observations and interviews were conducted to find out the obstacles experienced by MSMEs. The obstacles facing MSMEs are products that have not yet been able to compete to the supermarket because the unqualified packaging of supermarkets and BPOM. The packaging machines used are old enough and almost broken. In this context, the graphical design of packaging that meets BPOM standards and the use of Continuous Band Sealer technology is an important factor in improving competitiveness and market access for MSME. These activities ensure the benefits of accompanying activities, such as improved efficiency and production safety, improved understanding of business management, finance, and marketing, and expansion of marketing. Thus, these activities provide practical guidance and specific solutions to help MSMEs boost growth and competitiveness in the food industry sector.
