Abstract

Purpose of this research was to determine the relation between fuel supply and temperature in the drying chamber of YTP-UNIB-2013 Biomass Dryer; and to describe performance of the dryer operated using palm oil leaf stem as the biomass fuel.  The stems were cleaned out of  leaves, cut into 5-7 cm in length, dried so that their water content less then 10%.Temperature and humidity were recorded every 15 minutes p to 3 hours of burning. In order to maintain maximal temperature in the drying chamber, biomass fuel was added at the time the temperature start decreasing. The time for the additional sample to be burned was recorded.  Each of burning sample process was repeated three time to have accurate data. Result of regression analysis showed that drying chamber temperatures (T) were related to the amount of palm oil stems as biomass fuel by following an equation of T = 12.013Q + 16.293 with coefficient of determinant R² = 0.8706.  Performance tests of the Biomass Dryer indicated that by using 4.4 kg/hour of palm oil stem as biomass fuel, average temperature of the chamber dryer was 65°C and capable of evaporating clear water up to 2,548 kg/hour. Therefore it could be concluded that in general, workability of the YTP-UNIB-2013 Biomass Dryer by using palm oil leaf stem as the biomass fuel was effective.

Abstract

Purpose: This research aims to obtain the characteristics of CPO extraction results using a home industry spinner machine and determine the capacity of palm fruit suitable for CPO extraction using the spinner machine. Methodology: The spinner machine tested used a speed of 1800 rpm for 15 minutes, with capacity ratios of 15, 30, and 45 kg. The spinning process produces oil that will come out through the oil drain hole. Testing these three capacities will determine which one is more capable of producing CPO oil and is safe for engine rotation. Observing the characteristics of CPO involved yield tests, free fatty acid (FFA) tests, impurity content tests, and water content tests. Results: The yield test results ranged from 19.66% to 21.6%, the FFA test results ranged from 4.096% to 5.376%, the water content test results ranged from 0.2% to 0.6%, and the dirt content test results ranged from 2% to 5%. Findings: The 30 kg capacity was the most effective and efficient for CPO extraction using the home industry spinner machine. Novelty: The use of spinner machines in the home industry for CPO extraction has not been widely studied, and this research identifies the optimal capacity and efficiency of the spinner machine. Originality: This study provides new insights into the application of spinner machines for CPO extraction, highlighting their potential use in the home industry. Conclusions: The 30 kg capacity was the most effective and efficient for CPO extraction using the home industry spinner machine.
