Abstract

In palm oil mill land application systems, the efficiency of slurry transfer from aerobic ponds to plantation channels is highly influenced by pump suction performance. This study aims to analyze the suction capability of the Progressive Cavity Pump based on the relationship between the available Net Positive Suction Head (NPSHa) and the required NPSH (NPSHr). Field measurements and calculations were conducted at pond depths ranging from −1 m to −5 m to evaluate pump performance under negative suction conditions. The results indicate that the NPSHa values consistently exceed the NPSHr value of 2.56 m across all tested depths. Specifically, at −1 m depth, NPSHa reached 8.12 m with a margin of 5.56 m, while at −5 m depth, NPSHa remained at 4.12 m with a margin of 1.56 m. The increasing NPSHa–NPSHr margin with shallower suction depths demonstrates that the PCP effectively avoids cavitation and maintains stable operation even under high negative suction pressure. The findings indicate that the PCP provides reliable and energy-efficient performance for transferring aerobic sludge in palm oil mill LA systems. Consequently, the PCP demonstrates significant potential as a superior and sustainable alternative to centrifugal pumps in organic sludge management and liquid fertilizer distribution.

Abstract

Industrial building construction activities are widely regarded as high-risk operations due to the complexity of tasks and the involvement of various hazardous elements. Workers are frequently exposed to dangers such as falling from heights, being struck by moving or falling objects, electrical hazards, exposure to toxic substances, and musculoskeletal strains. These risks necessitate a systematic and comprehensive approach to hazard identification and risk control to ensure worker safety and operational continuity. This review article aims to synthesize relevant scientific literature published between 2018 and 2024 from reputable databases such as Scopus and Sinta, focusing on the identification of workplace hazards, methods of risk analysis, and implementation of effective mitigation strategies. The narrative review method was employed to gather and analyze findings from 28 selected studies that met predefined inclusion criteria. Results indicate that structured risk assessment tools—such as Hazard Identification Risk Assessment and Determining Control (HIRADC), Job Safety Analysis (JSA), and bowtie analysis—combined with the application of ISO 45001-based Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OHSMS), contribute significantly to minimizing accident rates. The review emphasizes the importance of integrating technical measures, administrative controls, and continuous safety training to develop a resilient and safety-oriented work culture in the industrial construction sector.

Abstract

This study presents the design and structural analysis of a palm frond shaving machine with a production capacity of 100 kg/hour, aimed at improving the efficiency of the traditional manual process used by craftsmen. The manual method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, limiting production to approximately 2 kg/hour. To address this issue, a mechanical design was developed using SolidWorks 2017 software. The research involved consumer surveys to identify user requirements, followed by concept generation, technical and economic evaluation, and simulation analysis of the selected design. Among three design variants, the second concept—featuring a stone grinder cutter system, UNP steel frame, V-belt transmission, and gasoline engine—was selected as optimal based on combined technical and economic scores. Structural simulation results indicate that the frame, made from UNP 50 steel profiles, exhibits acceptable stress, displacement, and safety factor levels under an applied load of 10 kg. This study offers a viable solution for small-scale industries to process palm fronds into usable sticks efficiently. Future work may include prototype development and extended performance testing. The machine’s application is expected to contribute to local economies by utilizing agricultural waste and increasing the production of palm stick-based handicrafts.
