Abstract

Indonesia is known as the biggest crude palm oil (CPO) producer in the world. The fresh fruit bunches (FFB) are processed in the mill to produce CPO and Palm Kernel as the main products. The process consumes significant amount of energy, water and raw materials and also produces many wastes and emissions. In this study the potency of implementation cleaner production to a Palm Oil Mill is explored. The objectives are to increase efficiency and to reduce risks to humans and environment. As a case study, a Palm Oil Mill with capacity of 30 ton per hour is used. The results show that many potencies of improvement are found. Some of the potential improvements such as electricity intensity reduction from 20.56 to 17 kWh/ton FFB, and the reuse of turbine cooling water. It is shown that implementation of cleaner production to the Palm Oil Mill will improve the efficiency of the mill significantly.
