Abstract

Palm oil (CPO) is extracted from loose palm fruit which is released from the oil palm fruit bunches, either naturally or by boiling. Several factors affect the yield of palm oil in the oil extraction process, including the year of planting and the variety planted. This study aims to look at the yield levels of oil palm fruit based on the variety year of planting so that the actual value is known and the effect of the year of planting on the yield value of FFB can be identified. The method used in this study refers to MPOB (Malaysia Palm Oil Board) and NRCOP (National Research Center of Oil Palm) standards which consist of 6 (six) stages, namely FFB sampling, initial calculation of FFB, seeds, and mesocarp, measuring moisture content, mesocarp oil extraction, calculating the percentage of kernels and shells, and calculating the value of the FFB material balance. Based on the results of the TB material balance analysis, it is known that the young planting year does not fully produce a low yield of palm oil, this is because many influencing factors cannot be controlled and are variables that cannot be locked/determined. The results of the average material balance for all planting years for the dry extraction method showed a CPO yield value of 22.97%, testing showed the highest yield was in the 2002 planted year with 27% content and the lowest was in the 2015 planted year with 19.68%.

Abstract

Semi Virgin Crude Palm Oil (SVCPO) is a palm oil product that is processed from palm oil FFB raw materials which are treated using chemicals in the form of 60% etephon. The FFB is processed with simple tools and a short process, as well as minimum treatment with a modified temperature. This study aims to speed up the harvesting time of palm fruit from the bunch by using the application method and 12 hours of curing time to produce good quality oil. This research was conducted at STIPAP, precisely at the TPHP Process Laboratory. The time of this research was carried out from January to July 2021. This study used the Completely Block Design (CBD) method, by administering chemicals to the FFB raw material by injection and spray methods. The results of this study showed that the FFB removal efficiency ranged from 6.61- 11.44% and SVCPO had DOBI values ranging from 1.66-2.57 ppm, carotene ranged from 311- 1044 ppm, and vitamin E ranged from 409-897. ppm. The application of injection and spray affects the efficiency of sloughing off and the quality of the oil. It can be concluded that in this study the best method for slashing efficiency was the spray method and the injection method for DOBI, carotene, and vitamin E values.

Abstract

Fluctuations in fuel prices stimulate efforts to find alternative energy that is environmentally friendly. The processing of oil palm plantations produces waste or quite a lot of products ± 23% of the weight of fresh fruit bunches. Utilization of Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (PEFB) as biobriquettes was chosen in this study by mixing other ingredients, namely coconut shell. The treatment in the study was the composition of the mixture of PEFB and shell PEFB-1, PEFB-2, PEFB-3, PEFB-4 and PEFB-5 with a ratio of weight (100% -0%), (75% -25%), (50% -50%), (25% -75%) and (0% -100%). The research was carried out in Medan STIPAP, ITM Laboratory and PTKI Alboratorium in April - September 2018. Observation parameters were heating value, water content, ash content, density, compressive strength and combustion rate. The results showed that briquettes with dominant PEFB material, PEFB-1 and PEFB-2, produced less quality biobriquettes, especially low calorific value. The best treatment is PEFB-4 (25% EFB and 75% shell) with characters that appropriate to the specifications of the quality standard of charcoal briquettes.

Abstract

Measurement of dryrubbercontent of latex (DRC) is very important factor in the trade transactions of rubber. Determination of temperature and drying time of latex’s DRC need to be studied in order to avo id the excessive difference between farmers and factories so that it can cause loss effect on sale andpurchase of latex transaction. This study aimed to determine the temperature and time factor of the DRC during the drying process and its interaction. The study used a complete random ized design (RAL) with twofactors, i.e. temperature (80oC, 90oC, 100oC, 110oC, 120oC) and time (2, 4, 6 hours) with 3 replications and as control was 100oC for 2 hours. The results showed that the interaction between temperature and time was apparent (p <0,010). The using of temperature variations of 90oC (4 and 6 hours), 110oC (2, 4, and 6 hours) and 120oC (2, 4, and 6 hours) is possible to replace standard temperature and time (100oC for 2 hours ), because it have no significant differences in the value of latex’s DRC.To prevent the latex sample browning and stickiness due to oxidation of high temperature, it can use temperature of 90oC-100oC and drying timeof 4-6 hours.
