Abstract

One of the processed products derived from coconut that has great demand in the world of health and beauty industry is virgin coconut oil or known as VCO. Most VCO is processed manually using conventional methods with unhygienic plastic containers and placement in open spaces by the home industries. This research is to develop a VCO-fermented tank that was able to maintain hygiene and low temperature during the fermentation process by using SS403 and teak wood insulation as the main materials. This research carries on by comparing the fermentation process and results between the conventional method and the new VCO tank. 41% VCO is produced from raw coconut milk using a new VCO tank which is 5% higher than the conventional method. The VCO fermented tank produced more VCO and was able to maintain lower temperatures compared to the conventional method and also can be operated with less procedure order.     Keywords: Fermentation Tank, Temperature Retaine, VCO, Virgin Coconut Oil

Abstract

Proper processing of coconut shell charcoal can be highly economically and environmentally valuable. The two most common uses of coconut shell charcoal are activated carbon and briquettes, obtained through carbonization. However, traditional carbonization methods involving kilns can produce excessive smoke, polluting the environment and disrupting human activities. A carbonization kiln that produces less smoke is required to address this issue. In this study, a kiln made from a steel drum with a sealer belt was fabricated to trap burning smoke inside the kiln. The results showed that adding this belt effectively reduced the smoke produced, making it more eco-friendly. Regarding charcoal production efficiency, different weigh coconut shells were burnt to produce charcoal. The result showed that burning 25 kg of coconut shell was optimal, producing a 48% charcoal content.
