Brief History of Oil Palm ( Its

development in Malaysia).

by Noel Wambeck. - 8th November 1993. (Revised)

The oil palm ELAEIS GUINEENSIS grows around the globe in a zone of 10 degrees latitude to the north and south of the equator. Its utilization as basic nourishment had always been of vital importance to the inhabitants of this equatorial regions and its existence is reported as long as 3000 BC, when palm oil was known to the Egyptians under Pharaoh’s reign. The Oil Palm originates from Africa where there is a wealth of oil palm genetic material. The natives of Guinea coast who had made a living by raiding for slaves, were induced to find a new occupation in processing and selling the oil for export; for through the trade in palm oil firmly established before 1850. It has been selected by the Africans over the ages to provide palms with a high proportion of kernels and palm with a high yield of palm oil. The first planting of oil palm of the Deli type, brought from Africa and planted in the Buiterzorg botanical garden, Java, Indonesia in 1848, four plants being received, two from Bourbon and two from Holland and during the ten years of experimental observation, showed very good growth, and fruited. Their progeny was distributed from 1853 forwards and the stock in the Dutch Indies, in general, came from them. The palm was brought to Singapore about 1870, probably from Java. These seeds was soon distributed to various places, chiefly to gardens of those who cared to grow it as an ornamental tree. In 1879 Buitenzorg gardens in Java had sent seeds to Sumatra and the palm grew well; so that Sumatra appears to have received its first two supplies of the palm from Buitenzorg stock, one direct and the other through Singapore. Some of the oldest palms on the St. Cyr tobacco estate in Sumatra, figured by Rutgers are recorded as from seed from the botanical gardens of Singapore; and these trees, in turn, supplied material to many other places in Sumatra. The idea of a common origin is supported by and large the characters which all the old trees have in-common.

Rutgers thinks that the actual trees of 1879 were subsequently removed to make room for the town of Medan as this tree race is the old Deli type. The material bred from these palms is referred to as DURA DELI. It is very stable and uniform in oil and kernel contents. The vernacular names for the palm in Java are “ salak minyak’’, ‘’klapa sawit’’ and ‘’klapa sewu.’’ The tree was then freely distributed in that island, and about 1906 interest in the oil palm was aroused among Malayan planters, who planted a few trees on their estates by way of experiment. The new era of advancing communications and transport, fueled the growth of liberalism in Europe as telegraph system was introduced in 1856, the postal system in 1862 and the opening of the Suez canal in 1869. The fast growth of plantations in the Golden era of plantation companies, before the first world war saw the expansion in acreage, productivity and diversification of crops. In 1903, the department of Agriculture made several importation of seeds to Batu Tiga experimental plantation and the public gardens in Kuala Lumpur. The foundation of the Industry is generally attributed to M. Adrien Hallet, a Belgian with some knowledge of the oil palm in Africa, who planted palms of Deli origin in 1911 in the first large commercial plantation in Sumatra. Hallet’s plantings on Sungei Liput, Atjeh and Pulu Radja, Asahan estates are recorded as being contemporary with the establishment of 2,000 palms by K. Schadt, on his Tanah Itam Ulu concession in Deli. He also recognised that the avenue palms growing in Deli were not only more productive than palms in Africa, but had a fruit composition superior to the ordinary Dura palms of the west coast. A potential oil content of 30% in the fruit was recongnised in the early 90’s. The climate of Malay Peninsula and Eastern Sumatra has proven ideal for growing Elaeis or Oil Palm trees. In the meantime, a Frenchman M. H. Fauconnier, who had been associated with Hallet, had established during 1911 and 1912 some palms of Deli origin at Rantau Panjang in Kuala Selangor. These palms were in full bearing by 1917 and in that year the first seedlings were planted on an area later to be known as Tannamaram estate.

It was during this period that the DURA palm and Pisifera palm were cross to produce a hybrid progeny, that all modern planting and milling systems are designed. Thus the birth of the Malayan Hybrid palm “ TENERA” was introduced to the Oil Palm Industry. The second commercial oil palm plantation, also in the Kuala Selangor district, was developed at “Elimina” Barlow’s estate ( Sungei Buluh ) Selangor in 1919 and the first 40 acres planted in 1920. In 1922, selected seeds from the experimental plantation were planted at the new experiment plantation in Serdang, Selangor. During this period the boost in prices of major commodities before the first world war, was the main factor in the expansion of plantations in Malaya. The number of plantations increased from 1925 to 1930 with an expansion in the development in the Palm Oil processing Mills which began only at the beginning of the nineteenth century when its possibilities were realized, alike in Europe and America. There are two oils in the fruit, one in the fruit wall ; the other is in the kernel. The methods of manufacture, then employed was badly, often abominably prepared, if the working be quoted from a letter from Accra, Gold coast, in 1877 and printed in the Kew bulletin ( 1889 p 263 ) whereby the writer describes the bunches of fruit as cut down from the tree and heaped in the open air for 7 to 10 days, during which the pedicels become weak and the fruit easy to detached. The dry fruit bunch is then shaken off and fruitlets gathered together. A hole about a meter deep is dug in the ground and lined with banana leaves; into this hole the fruitlets are put and left for a period between three weeks and three months for decomposition to set in, and the pericarp to become quite soft. Part of the accumulation of fruitlets, if not decomposed enough, will next be boiled in an iron or earthware pot and returned to the heap, and the entire quantity transferred to another hole, which is lined with rough stones, where it is pounded until the pericarp and kernel are separated. The pericarp are folded into a coarse cloth, and by twisting the ends, the oil is extracted and the nuts are collected manually.

Another method, which was used in Portuguese West Africa; describes that the fruit, after they have been detached from the pedicels are put into baskets and submerged in swamps to ferment, before they are beaten in order to detach the fruit from the kernel and are again left to ferment for a few days before the oil is extracted. Off course, oil so crudely process is full of fatty acids, even up to 80% FFA or sometimes called a “ Hard oil “. At first the Africans offered in trade the oil of the kernel mixed into the oil of the pericarp; and as they commonly cracked the shell by heat, the addition imparted a peculiar smell to the mixture; but, about 1870 the market began to offer a price for the kernel, which activated the interest of the locals to collect and sell the whole kernels to the trading stations, who than bagged them for export. Primitive methods of processing palm oil with crude machines during the course of the development of the extraction process, saw changes such as the hand press, centrifugal basket, hydraulic press and the present day screw press, which also changed the process system, flow and Mill layout design.

The method in winning the oil in the early 1900’s was that the bunches were transported from the field to a convenient place, where they remain for the fruit bunch to soften, so that the fruitlets may be removed. Next the detached fruitlets are sterilized by heat; and this kills the enzymes, which would otherwise spoil the oil by leading to the production of fatty acids. Keeping in mine that most of the equipment, machinery and plants were designed to handle Dura type material in the early 1900’s and not until 1960’s did the change in the Mill design take place, when Tenera type material made its prominent appearance in Malaya, when most of the further developments took place in the Mill layout and selection of processing equipment. Modern Palm Oil Mills with screw presses were first introduced into Mongana ( Zaire ) in the early 1950’s and soon after, about 1956 in Malaya at Jendarata Mill ( United Plantations ) and Limablas, Slim river Mill ( Socfin ) henceforth to process Malayan Tenera type material ( D X P ) fresh fruit bunches. The search for new process and the development of oil palm extraction plants, equipment and machinery continues ..................... End.

THE HISTORY OF PLANTATIONS IN INDONESIA.

THE HISTORY OF PLANTATIONS IN INDONESIA Noel Wambeck June 21st 1992 ( Revised )

To appreciate the present developments in the Indonesian Oil palm industry, one has to look back into the history of plantations in Indonesia. Large plantations were first established 170 years ago by the Dutch colonial administration, and term what was known as Cultuur Stelsel ( forced cultivation ) . Oil Palm Plantations today are not only divided into large and small holding plantation, but also Nucleus Estates Schemes or ( PIR ) which constitutes a form of cooperation between large plantation companies and small holders. Development of the plantations since 1830 to present day operations are as follows:

Period I. ( 1830 to 1870 ) During this period, plantation consist of camps established by the Government, then the Dutch Government on the cultuur stelsel system with forced labour. But prior to this period, trade went on in the normal way between the VOC a Dutch trading company and with Indonesian growers with chosen agents who were important to the Dutch. The agents were mostly ethnic Chinese, officials of the Indonesian Kingdoms or Dutch nationals. The VOC set up a number of warehouses in areas near a port to facilitate the trade. The commodities were the products grown by the Indonesian farmers which were controlled and managed by VOC who later on handed over the monopolized trade to the Dutch Government which brought about the start of the Dutch colonial power in Java. The process of domination of the country was hampered by the situation in Europe for a period, when the Netherlands was under the French Napoleon rule. The Napoleon war from 1800 - 1816 and then the Diponegoro war from 1825 to 1830, caused financial problems, which prom the Dutch Governor Daendles at that point of time to surrender Indonesia to Britain for a period, and after the defeat of Napoleon, the Dutch regained a foothold and power in Indonesia. The Dutch Government with the lack of funds, took on a program to cope with the budget deficit, whereby the cultuur stelsel was introduced which started the forced cultivation in 1830 the farmers were forced to set aside one fifth of their land to grow export crops and further to work 60 days per year, without pay for the Government. The cultuur stelsel system earned the Dutch Government 18 million guilders a year or 60% of the Dutch budget revenue.

THE HISTORY OF PLANTATIONS IN INDONESIA.

The first crops to be grown were, sugar and indigo, but later the crops range were diversified to include coffee, tea, tobacco, pepper, cinnamon and cotton of which coffee grew to become the main crop. Plantation were established in West Java for Sugar, coffee and pepper whereas indigo was stopped after it turned out to be not profitable as a synthetic substitute was discovered. The first plantation of palms of the Deli type was made in Java in 1859, and during the ten years of experimental observation, showed very good growth, and fruited. It was brought to Singapore about 1870, probably from Java, seed was soon distributed to various places, chiefly to gardens of those who cared to grow it as an ornamental tree. In 1879 Buitenzorg had sent seed to Sumatra and the palms grew well; so that Sumatra appears to have received its two first supplies of the palm from the Buitenzorg stock, one direct and the other through Singapore. Some of the oldest palms in Sumatra, those on the St Cyr tobacco estate, figured by Rutgers are recorded as from seed from the Botanic gardens of Singapore; and these trees, in turn, supplied offsprings to many other places in Sumatra. The idea of a common origin is supported by the characters which all the old trees have in common. Rutgers thinks that the actual trees of 1879 were subsequently removed to make room for the town of Medan as this tree race is the old Deli type. The vernacular names for the palm in Java are ' salak minyak ', ' klapa sawit and ' klapa sewu'. The tree was then freely distributed in that island, and about 1906 interest in the oil palm was aroused among Malayan planters, who planted a few trees on their estates by way of experiment.

Period II ( 1870 to 1900 ) Liberalism in Europe in 1850 opposed the cultuur stelsel system enforced by the colonial countries which marked the begaining of the privatisation of plantations in Indonesia. The new era of advancing communications and transport, fuel the growth of liberalism in Europe as telegraph system was introduced in 1856, the postal system in 1862 and the opening of the Suez canal in 1869.

The Agrarian law in 1870 made it possible for private companies to secure land title for 75 years, which were considered long enough for plantations. Dutch ownership of plantations companies, mushroomed with the support of Dutch Government, banks, trading houses, communications and transport facilities. The Dutch built railways to facilitate transport of the plantation commodities and irrigation systems for the crops.

THE HISTORY OF PLANTATIONS IN INDONESIA.

In Deli north Sumatra, investors were allowed to lease the land owned by the Sultan for 75 years and growing of the reknowned Deli tobacco was established and later on orther plantations were opened to include Rubber, Coffee and Oil Palm estates.

Period III. ( 1900 to 1930 ) The fast growth of plantations in the Golden era of plantation companies, before the first world war saw the expansion in acreage, productivity and diversification of crops. The first rubber plantation was established in 1905 and followed by Oil palm plantation in 1911. The importance of Chinese tea was changed for Assam tea and Arabica coffee for Robusta. The Indonesian Kings or Sultans had their powers reduced in 1915 and the Dutch authorities began collecting tax on land. During this period the boost in prices of major commodities before the first world war, was the main factor in the expansion of plantations in Indonesia. The number of plantations increased from 2130 in 1925 to 2467 in 1930 with an expansion in the acreage from 2.6 million hectares to 2.8 million.

Period IV ( 1930 to 1940 ) The depression period which began with the crisis in 1929 resulted with a steep fall in prices, whereby the supply exceeded the demand for most commodities including plantation crops in the world market which hit rock bottom in 1933. According to the Javasche Ban, exports in 1933 were worth only 40% of the export prices for the same commodities in 1929. The global recession forced the Government to impose restriction on production and exports through a quota system on tea, rubber, sugar and copra in 1933. Farmers were even prohibited to tap rubber, under what was called ' rubber restrictie' whereby the Dutch government offered cash compensation for rubber plantations. A team was set up to supervise the distribution of the compensation of which the government charged levies on certain plantation crops to finance research and marketing promotions. The number of plantations and acreage is shown in the table below: Details 1930 1933 1938 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Plantations. 2467 2395 2402 Acreage held under HGU ( Ha) 2,876,000 2,410,000 2,485,000 Acreage cultivated (Ha) 1,048,000 1,089,000 1,171,000 source ; Institute of Asian Studies.

Many sugar mills were forced to shut down operations as a result of the recession; leasing of small holder's lands declined by 51% where many concession holders with land title (HGU) returned the land to the government, resulting in a sharp shrinkage in the acreage of plantations.

THE HISTORY OF PLANTATIONS IN INDONESIA.

Period V. ( 1940 to 1950 ) The advent of world war II in 1941, communication with the Netherlands ceased and in March 1942, Japanese forces landed on Java and the occupation of Indonesia. All development hauled as many foreign planters and owners left the country or were arrested by the Japanese; leaving the larger plantations without proper management, however the small holders of local Indonesian farmers increased in numbers as they had to be self-sufficient; resulting in the expansion of small holding plantations. The Japanese authorities took over the management of plantations and reinstated forced cultivation of the land. The Dutch which returned to resume colonial administration in Indonesia, after Japan surrendered, relied mainly on plantations for finance. Rehabilitation of some of the plantations, where it was possible under the tense situation as the during this time, were the plans made by the locals for the war of independence of Indonesia. The original foreign owners of the plantations could only regain and operate their plantations in the areas where the Dutch military could effectively maintain authority.

Period VI. ( 1950 to 1970 ) This period marked by the consolidation and fostering of plantations which were still productive; pre and post independence of Indonesia. The process of transferring ownership was made between Indonesian private companies and the colonial or foreign owners which took place from 1959 to 1962 during the campaign to free Irian Jaya from the Dutch colonial rule. The number of plantations, continued to decline and the acreage reduced from 1,819,000 Ha in 1950 to 841,800 Ha in 1970. The plantations were managed and operated by state-owned companies in 1962 which were gradually changed into limited companies. The Indonesian Government took direct control over British, Malayan and Singapore plantations in Indonesia; following the campaign against the establishment of the new Malaysia which was later returned to its original owners, when the control was lifted towards the end of the 60's.when Indionesia and Malaysia resume a relationship. The implementation of the Agrarian law No. 5 in 1960, replaced a similar Dutch law the Agrarische Wet of 1870. The law maintained the controlling rights by the state over land. The law regulated the land title as follows: a. The land title for exploitation was for 25 years and could be extended to 35 years. b. Concession rights was lifted and replaced with HGU. c. HGU for land wider than 25 hectares was available only for a company based in Indonesia.

THE HISTORY OF PLANTATIONS IN INDONESIA.

d. A HGU land was at least 5 hectares and no wider than 25 hectares could be held by an individual A concession holder was required to convert its land title to HGU and in the process the holder is required to hand over part of the land to the state to be given to a new private company which resulted an increase in the number of private plantation companies.

Period VII. ( 1970 to date ) The new order period, called the ' Repelita' ( five year development plan.) marked the start of the phase development of the plantation sector, with the focused on improvement of productivity and efficiency. The main commodities were given greater attention for development are sugar, rubber and oil palm as a number of state owned plantation companies received credit aid from the world bank to improve productivity and efficiency. The Government's prime concern was for the farmer, and in the middle of the 1970's introduced a new system for development of plantations for the small holder which is known as the " small holder nucleus pattern ( PIR ); A state plantation company ( PTP ) planning to expand its acreage must use the PIR pattern whereby under the system, PTP act as an agent of development of the tree crop projects. Private companies could use the National Private Plantation (PBSN) scheme without having to use the PIR pattern. Working relations between small holders and the large plantations companies were maintained through the selling of crop by the small holder and purchase by the PTPs who is responsible for the processing and marketing of finished products. The Government have adopted two systems in the development of the plantation sector, such as in the intensification and diversification programs; One is based on the initiative of the farmer with government guidance and the other is program oriented, based on the government program with partial or integrated approaches. The partial approach is assistance to plantation companies by providing part of production, usually in the form of seedlings and guidance, while the integrated approach, the government provides all production factors which includes fund, management, operation and marketing. Great progress has been made in Indonesia in recent years to improve the lot of its citizens. The Indonesian oil palm industry have also advanced and are poised for a major leap forward; this has been made possible by an enlightened Government and by the efficient implementation of the government directives.

OIL PALM MILL, SYSTEMS AND PROCESS. By Noe l Wambe ck ( Re vi sed June, 1999 )

&INTRODUCTION The aim of the writer of this paper is to provide an overall brief description of the Oil Palm Mill flow process and its systems employed based on concept and collective experience of the firm. Any errors in intention are regrettable

The synopsis of the Malaysian Oil Palm Industry success is basically due to the following factors: •

Commercially sound investment with state encouragement.



Practical Project Study Preparation.



Good management of the plantation who will provide for and ensure good genetical planting material, soil conditioning, harvesting, collection standards, handling and transportation of FFB to the mill and let nature do the rest.



Proper selection of the process system, machinery equipment and plant ( eg. Process matching with type of FFB ) for high extraction yield, quality palm oil and palm kernel.



Efficient transportation of the finished production to the bulking station or refinery.



Good shipping facilities for loading and discharge of the finished products for the export market.



And last but not the least, a dedicated and loyal workforce whose ambition is filled with grit.

&THE PALM. Practically all the oil palm planted in the Far East are directly related to one, two or four oil palms which were brought from Africa and planted in the Buiterzorg botanical gardens in Java in 1848. The material bred from these palms is referred to as Dura Deli. It is very stable and uniform in Oil and kernel content. An average content of the fresh fruit bunch ( FFB ) is 25% oil, 5.5% kernel, 6% shell, 9% fibre, 25% empty bunch ( EB ) and the balance is moisture. In recent years another parent has been introduced to produce the material referred to as Tenera. The same Dura Dali palm is used to produce the Tenera palm seed but it is pollinated with pollen from a selected Pisifera palm ( the selected Pisifera when self pollinated produce fruit with a small kernel and little shell ). The resultant Tenera material produces fruit with more oil than Dura material, the same kernels as Dura but less shell than Dura.

OIL PALM MILL SYSTEMS & PROCESS

For this reason, it is now always planted in preference to the straight Dura Deli and it is for Tenera material that all modern oil palm mill systems should be designed. The quality of the palm oil and kernels is at its highest just before harvesting, collection and milling. The extent to which the oil is degraded depends on the system used and the care with which is executed.

&TENERA BUNCH COMPOSITION. The bunch composition will very from bunch to bunch and from tree to tree particularly in respect of shell thickness but the average bunch content for Tenara material (D x P) with an assumed average composition of Fresh Fruit Bunch ( FFB ) or now called Palm Fruit Bunch ( PFB ) from matured palms having a maximum 2.5 ffa for the extraction of Crude Palm Oil and Palm Kernel.

&HARVESTING. Harvesting is normally a 6 to 8 day cycle. It is important that the fruit must not be harvested before it is ripe, that is until the process of photosynthesis, which converts the carbohydrates into fat, is well in advance. The oil content of unripe mesocarp may be in the order of 35% whereas the oil content of ripe mesocarp is usually between 50% and 55%. The harvesting of under ripe fruit can cause losses in the order of 8% of the possible yield.

OIL PALM MILL SYSTEMS & PROCESS

&FREE FATTY ACID ( FFA) The FFA content of the oil in the bunch before harvesting may be in the order of 0.1% whilst the FFA of the oil in the same bunch when it is received at the mill will never be less than 1%, normally in the order of 3%, and is frequently above 3% under bad conditions. A low FFA content is the first characteristic to which edible oil refiners pay attention. A premium of 1% of the sale price is paid for every one percent, should the FFA content be below 5% and the Refining loss will be 1.25% to 1.80% per 1% of FFA. The rise in the FFA content from harvest to mill will make possible the harvesting of riper fruit with higher oil content and recovery of higher quality oil with a lower FFA. The riper the fruit the more vulnerable it is to damage during transport and handling. Of all different stages of processing, the harvesting of the palm tree and the transport of fruit to the edible oil refiner has the most effect on quality.

&FRUIT COLLECTION AND TRANSPORT. There are two basic systems used for fruit transport. One is the collection of fruit directly into the sterilizer cages and the other is the collection of the fruit in trucks or trailers and then transferred into sterilizer cages at the oil palm mill. The transfer system is less costly but results in some loss of oil and a higher FFA content due to the extra handling and damage to the fruit. The other system requires that the sterilizer cages be taken to the field for direct loading from the collection points. At such points the harvester’s place the fruit on nets which are lifted by crane to load gently into the sterilizer cages. At the time when the fruit is lifted in the nets it is convenient to weigh, using a weighing cell. This is particularly important for the collection of small holder crops.

OIL PALM PROCESSING. The flow diagram and matrix relating to the processing of fruit from Tenera palms is shown in the appendix enclosed.

FFB Reception.

The FFB bunches loaded on trucks, cages or trailer are weighed on arrival at the mill and on departure when empty by weighbridge of 50 ton capacity and automatically recorded, that is computerised. After weighing-in process of the truck, cage or trailer, the PFB are dumped into the inclined hopper at the ramp that will hold 900 mt PFB ( 2 lines of 15 bays x 30 mt PFB ). Modern mills in Malaysia are equipped with the following in the reception area of the mill: A. Load cell ( pitless ) 50 tons weigh bridge of 3.3m W x 15m L and computerised. B. Larger loading ramp with double door hoppers of 30mt capacity per bay. C. FFB Cage and bogie with capacities of 5, 7 and 10 mt of wheel spanned of 800mm gauge. D. FFB loading into cages by conveyor system E.

Straight line railway system with Cage transfer carriage located at both ends of the railtrack system to facilitate easier operation of the 2-door sterilizer and shunting of the cages can be handled easily with the capstan and Bollard.

On opening the hopper door ( 2 doors to a bay ) the bunches drop into the 7mt cages with bogies placed beneath it. The loaded PFB cages are then conveyed by the transfer carriage on the rail track and pushed into the sterilizer, by a winch and ballard system for sterilization.

2.0

Sterilization.

The sterilizer process is done in 5, 7 and today 10 tons capacity FFB cages which are pushed into long cylindrical steel vassel with special doors and subjected to steam at approximately 3 BAR. One of the effects of sterilisation is to inactivate the fruit enzyme. inactivated the rise of the FFA is virtually stopped.

Once this enzyme has been

The objective after harvesting is to sterilize the fruit as quickly as possible with the minimum of handling and damage. In addition to arresting the development of the FFA content, the sterilizing of the fruit also facilitates: a.

The purification of the palm oil by coagulating nitrogenous and mucilaginous matter and thus preventing the formation of emulsions during verification of the crude oil.

OIL PALM MILL SYSTEMS & PROCESS

The extraction of the crude palm oil by freeing the fruits from the bunch stalks and by breaking the oil cells in the mesocarp.

Majority of mills today has programmable automatic control systems to cater for proper sterilization of 90-minute cycle. Sterilisation is a simple process but it is essential, for the proper operation of the mill so that it is done correctly. This operation is the largest user of steam in the mill.

Stripping.

After the sterilisation the sterilised fruit in 3.5 mt PFB Cages are then winched out of the steriliser vassal by the arrangement of Bollard & winch and then placed in position for the remote control overhead hoist, for the activity of emptying the FFB into the threshing machine which will separate the empty bunches from fruit. Or for larger capacity mill with 5 mt FFB cages and above, into the cage Tippler machine a ring structure for emptying the contents of FFB onto a scraper type conveyor and transported to the thresher machine for stripping of the fruitlets from bunch. The fruit is then conveyed by screw conveyors and bucket elevators to the Pressing or Extraction station. New mills have included in their design bunch crusher and secondary thresher system for recovery of fruitlets of large or poorly sterilised bunches which are difficult to strip.

Empty Bunches.

Empty bunches from 25% of the total weight of the ffb. They are then returned to the field as fertilizer after incineration for the recovery of resultant potash, in conventional mills. They have no food value and have a high silica content. When properly incinerated they yield 0.3 to 0.5% of potash. Utilisation of empty bunche for field application as fertiliser supplement is found to be cost effective by some plantation groups and to the others justification of logistics, other constrains or practical experience? seems to be the objection for use of EFB in the field. In recent years a system has been introduced in Malaysia for the Treatment of Empty Bunches which recovers a further 0.25% of the oil on ffb from the empty bunches and at the same time reduces the moisture content to approximately 35% so that they can be used as additional solid waste fuel for steam and power generation, required for other down stream process.

5.0

Oil Extraction.

The efficient extraction of the crude oil from Tenera fruit has presented problems but these have been overcome by the development of the continuous screw press, which is now used in all modern factories. The fruit from the stripper passes to digesters, which complete the breaking of the oil cells with slow moving arms. Digesters have a capacity of above 3 cubic metres.

TYPICAL SIDE VIEW OF THE EXTRACTION STATION

The fruit mash then passes to the screw presses (capacities of 10–16Mt FFB per hour) which press the crude oil out through holes in the side of the press cage. The ‘press cake’, which is discharged from the end of the press, contains the ‘fibre’ and the ‘nuts’. The three products separated in this section are : a)

The crude oil which consists of water, dirt and palm oil. This is passed to the purification section;

b)

Nuts: 15% of the ffb. Is separated by the depericarper and kernel plant for the recovery of the kernels;

c)

Fibre: Approximately 15% of the ffb weight with moisture content of 37%. The residual oil content should be between 6% and 8% of oil to dry fibre. The fibre should also retain as far as possible the phophatides and other non-glycerides impurities. The fibre separated in the deparicarper winnowing system is conveyed to the boiler as fuel.

The proper design of the extraction section is important. Unsatisfactory practices such as excessive drainage of the crude oil before the extraction press leads not only to purification problems and losses but also to the higher absorption of iron by the palm oil. The importance of reducing the absorption of heavy metal, copper and iron is indicated by the totox value. For the production of superior quality palm oil, stainless steel moving the wearing parts should be used for extraction units (such as the digester and screwpress).

6.0

Kernel Recovery

The conditioning of the nuts starts in the sterilizer and the separation starts in the screw presses. After the screw press the nuts and the fibre traverse a heated breaker conveyor which further separates them and removes moisture from the fibre. The fibre and nuts then pass into a pneumatic separating column, called the “winnowing column” fitted with IC damper in operation, depending on the number of presses in operation. The fibre is blown into a cyclone close to the boiler and the nuts pass down a polishing drum, designed to handle a verity of nuts which removes any attached dirt or fibres and tramp iron.

A DEPARICARPER, WINNOWING COLUMN AND POLISHING DRUM STATION FOR FIBRE & NUTS SEPARATION

The nuts are conditioned in nut silos before being cracked in centrifugal nutcrackers or / and in present day Rippler mills. After cracking, the cracked mixture is separated in the double winnowing separating column for dry separating system or separated in hydrocyclones or clay baths. These processes are wet. A modern Hydroclay bath separator is more efficient than a hydrocyclone separator when processing more than 15% Dura material in the cracked mixture. A supply of suitable clay at the rate of approximately 450 kg to 100 tons of ffb is necessary for the clay separator system. Both systems depend upon the density of the shell being greater then the density of the kernels. The higher yield of PK compensates the addition cost of clay or kaolin required for the Hydro-clay bath separator process. The shell and kernels are washed and the kernels are passed to a kernel dryer to normalize the moisture content of 7% so as to minimize the development of FFA during storage and shipment. It is also advantages to sterilizer the kernels before shipment or storage with steam at atmospheric pressure. Kernel plants designed for Dura derived nuts are not suitable for the processing of Tenera derived nuts. There have been a number of experimental designs, which have proved failures. Caution and a wide experience are required in selecting the proper equipment and design for kernel recovery plant.

Palm Oil Purification

The modern purification or oil classification station is designed to recover and purify the crude oil as quickly as possible with the minimum heating and exposure to air. This is to minimize the damage by oxidation, which is caused by the exposure of crude oil to air at high temperature.

OIL PALM MILL SYSTEMS & PROCESS

The process begin at the crude oil tank of the extraction station and ends at oil cooler as finished CPO with dirt contents of 0.009% and moisture contents of 0.09%. The major effluent problem is eliminated by the decanter system, which removes the semi-solid sludge for treatment, by the sludge dryer, which reduces the moisture of the sludge from 45% to 10%. Adequate heat for drying of the sludge is obtained from the boiler exhaust flue gasses. The composition of the dryer decanter cake is shown in Appendix. The major contributor to poor quality oil is oxidation. Oxidation measured by the totox value, starts when the oil is above 60ºC and exposed to air During processing, storage and shipment.

Steam and Power Generation.

Utilization of existing energy resources is indispensable not only for large industrial processes but also for small production plant and in particular oil palm mills where the balance between heat and power are required for production process which are pre-condition for a “ combined heat and power ( CHP ) scheme.” Or commonly referred to as C0-GENERATION SYSTEM. Solid waste fuel in the form of shell, fibre and empty bunches which are by-products of the process are utilized as fuel for the boiler. Steam is required for processing at the approximate rate of 500kg per hour per ton ffb. This steam can be easily raised in a reasonably efficient water tube boiler with fuel available from the Fibre, shell and empty bunch. Power is required at the approximate rate of 15 to 25 Kw per ton ffb. This can be easily be provided by placing a back-pressure single stage steam turbine between the boiler and the header of the mill processing system. Steam is generated from the boiler at a pressure of say 20 Bar.g and into the steam turbo alternator at 18.5 Bar.g at 260ºC with back pressure of 3.16 Bar.g for the mill process which is convenient and effective for process Heating. The additional power generated in this system is made possible by burning of the empty bunches as shown in the enclosed Fuel /Steam /Power balance and Steam Production from 1 Ton Solid Waste Fuel for a Oil Palm Mill. Every ton of FFB can produce 733 kg steam and 30kw power shown, in the diagram below : A system has been introduced for the treatment and disposal of empty bunches and recovery of palm oil and at the same instance reduces the moisture contents of the empty bunches to approx. 45 % so that they can be used as solid waste fuel for the boiler and production of additional steam and electrical power.

Every ton of FFB can produce 733 kg steam and 30kw power shown, in the diagram below :

Steam is produced by water tube boilers at pressures and temperatures higher ( 20 bar.g 207 deg. C ) than required for the process. First it is expanded in steam turbines, and then led into the process where the latent heat contained in the exhaust steam ( 3.16 bar.g ) is utilized for sterilisation of FFB and heating systems in the process. The diagram below show a typical CHP scheme of a modern oil palm mill.

The energy released during the expansion of steam is converted by the turbine into mechanical power to drive an alternator.

There is a direct relationship between the number of palms cultivated and the corresponding harvest yield of a given plantation area processed by the mill, the primary energy available in the by product fuel, and power / heat requirement of the mill A properly design Oil Palm Mill will not only provide sufficient steam and electrical power for its operation requirement but will provide an additional 17 to 33 % more power for other planned integrated down stream processes, domestic use or sold to other consumers of power.

Effluent Control.

SOURCE OF SOLID WASTE, EFFLUENT & POLLUTION

Effluent discharge quantities in Oil palm mills is dependent on the extent of design of the milling process systems, in -plant process control, equipment maintenance and good house-keeping. The solid waste or by-products in the oil palm milling process, consist of :

• • • • • •

Empty bunches Shell and fibers Decanted solids Sludge centrifuge solids Boiler ash De-sludging of ponds.

Solid waste such as treated empty bunches ( de-water ) of approximately 25% to FFB and recovered dryed sludge of approximately 3% to FFB are by products that will be utilized in the plantation and sold as produces. The shell and fiber are sources of solid waste fuel for co-power generation in the oil palm mill. Waste water from the sterilizer condensate, clarificatio n effluent and hydro-cyclone or claybath discharges are sufficiently contaminated and require treatment. Some of the sources waste water discharged from the steam turbine condensate / cooling system and boiler blow down are relatively clean and can be put to good use in the process such as for the dilution system, screw press, oil gutter spraying and for the factory floor cleaning requirements. The liquid effluent total quantity of 0.6 to 1 mt per ton of FFB between the generating sources being as follows :

• • • •

The total liquid effluent could well increase if mill process wash water is included. The effluent is not toxic but it has a biochemical oxygen demand of above 25,000 (BOD) which makes it objectionable to fish life when introduced in relatively large quantities in waterways and rivers. The objective is to treat the oil palm mill effluent discharge so as to comply with conditions imposed by the Department of Environment (DOE) for disposal in accordance to standards as follows: Standard A. - For discharge to rivers shall be less than Standard B – For discharge to waterways shall be less than Standard C – For discharge to land & field shall be less than

The system of Anaerobic and Aerobic process in general conform to regulations which require a sizeable area of 65 to 75 days retention time for the ponds, proper monitoring, cost for power for circulation pumps and aerators, de-sludging of ponds, maintenance and supervision but at times are unstable as a result of a reduction of ponding volume due to silting with sludge, weather conditions and by contamination. Many systems are being tried but no generally accepted system has yet emerged. The systems tried including centrifuges, fitters, sun bed drying, air flotation / coagulation and mechanical extended aeration plants. Some pilot systems include Methane production units and “Effluent free system” or Zero discharge by means of a multi-Stage condensing unit and Thermal Oxidation plant to produce dry sludge in the finish product as POME which is sold as fertiliser and filler for animal feed. The search for new designs and systems continues…….. q q q

AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL PLAN (ECP) By Noel Wambeck April 1999.

FOR THE PROPOSED OIL PALM MILL WITH AN INTEGRATED EFFLUENT TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL SYSTEM, AIR POLLUTION AND SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL SYSTEM.

01. INTRODUCTION. The proposed Environmental Control Plan (ECP) will exploit every practical avenue to provide a complete effective system for Effluent treatment, solid waste disposal, air pollution control and minimising of the environmental impact, to the requirements and expectations of DOE, local authorities and inhabitant indemnity. The Department of Environment has set a target for Oil palm mills to achieve 100 percent compliance by the year 2000 in terms of meeting emission and effluent discharge standards, which are :

• Environmental Quality ( Licensing ) regulations 1977. • Environmental Quality ( Prescribed Premises) (Crude Palm Oil ) Regulations 1977 (Amendment) 1982.

• Environmental Quality ( Clean Air ) Regulations 1978. The overall objective of this project report is to determine and advise the client on the following : 1

Proposed project needs in terms of design, cost, capacity, manpower requirements and project schedule.

2

Selection of the Oil Palm Mill complex location.

3

Provide detail design and specification, supervision, commissioning, training of personnel and guarantee performance for the proposed project.

4

Care in the implementation of the project, and not to endanger the environment by providing the proper process, system and method for the treatment of effluent for 100 % land application, solid waste disposal and the control of noise and air pollution.

03. SOURCE OF SOLID WASTE, EFFLUENT & POLLUTION Effluent discharge quantities in Oil palm mills is dependent on the extent of design of the milling process systems, in -plant process control, equipment maintenance and good house-keeping. The solid waste or by-products in the oil palm milling process, consist of :

• • • • • •

Empty bunches Shell and fibers Decanted solids Sludge centrifuge solids Boiler ash De-sludging of ponds.

Solid waste such as treated empty bunches ( de-water ) of approximately 25% to FFB and recovered dryed sludge of approximately 3% to FFB are by products that will be utilized in the plantation and sold as produces. The shell and fiber are sources of solid waste fuel for co-power generation in the oil palm mill. Waste water from the sterilizer condensate, clarification effluent and hydro-cyclone or claybath discharges are sufficiently contaminated and require treatment. Some of the sources waste water discharged from the steam turbine condensate / cooling system and boiler blow down are relatively clean and can be put to good use in the process suc h as for the dilution system, screw press, oil gutter spraying and for the factory floor cleaning requirements. The liquid effluent total quantity of 0.6 m≥ to 1m≥ per ton of FFB between the generating sources being as follows :

• • • •

Sterilizer condensate Calrification station Hydrocyclone / Claybath. Other waste water

04. POLLUTION CONTROL SYSTEM. The proposed Pollution control and treatment systems are : 4.1 THE DISPOSAL OF EMPTY BUNCH. 4.2 THE PROCESS OF THE INTEGRATED DECANTER – DRIER SYSTEM 4.3 THE ANAEROBIC & AEROBIC EFFLUENT TREATMENT SYSTEM. 4.4 DISPOSAL OF TREATED EFFLUENT FOR LAND APPLICATION. 4.5 CONTROL OF AIR EMISSIONS.

The brief process description of the above systems are as follows:

4.1 THE DISPOSAL OF EMPTY BUNCH. Empty bunch a solid waste product of the Oil Palm Milling process has a high moisture content of approximately 55 – 65% and high in silica content , form 25% of the total weight of Palm Fruit Bunch. The treated Empty bunch are mechanically crushed ( de-watered and de-oiled ) in the process but are rich in major nutrients and contain reasonable amounts of trace elements. They have a value when returned to the field as mulch for the enrichment of soil. The use of empty bunch for field application as mulching material is preferred by the client, therefore we shall confine to this method of disposal of empty bunch for the proposed oil palm plantation. The land application .mulching system is said to have a cost savings of RM 250 per ha annually in place of fertiliser supplement. In Perak state, several estates have this system of land application of empty bunch mulching, including Seri Pelangi, Nova Scotia, Jendarata Estate, since 1973 on a commercial scale. Other mills that used the same method of disposal are; Ulu Basir, UIE, Southern Perak, Changkat Chermin, Topaz Emas, Foong Lee etc To do this, adequate hopper and conveyor system will be provided at the oil palm mill site for storage and an arrangement of tractor & trailer with a capacity of 5 -10 mt EFB shall be deployed for the transportation of the treated empty bunches ( de-watered ) to the field for disposal. On arrival at the estate, the train of two or more trailers are parked on the road adjacent to the inter row to be mulched and with the aid of the extended draw-bar, the trailers are unhitched one from the other. The trailers are towed one at a time into the inter rows and tipped while slowly moving forward. The empty trailers are then hitched back one to the other by lifting with the tractor draw-bar and pins put into position, they than return to the mill to repeat the process.

The drainage pattern in most fields is four palm rows to a drain, to ensure that all palms benefit from mulching, the empty bunches are applied in the avenue between row 2 and 3, and between palm points in the two outer drain side rows ( see the diagram of the Placement of empty bunches in the appendix.) In the latter, the side-tipping trailers are particularly useful. Manual labour is used to make minor improvements where leveling may be required. The rate of application ranges between 75 to 100 tons empty bunches per hectare.

In conclusion, bunch mulching of oil palms on a commercial scale is recommended as a viable proposition in plantation where the terrain and ground conditions allow mechanisation of the operation.

4.2 THE PROCESS OF THE INTEGRATED DECANTER – DRIER SYSTEM ( FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SOLID WASTE SLUDGE ( POME ) AS ANIMAL FEED OR FERTILISER. )

The Decanter – Drier integrated system reduces the volume and handling of oil palm mill effluent discharge of about 75% of the total BOD load discharge from the mill. The system also provide a means of a dust collecting system for the boiler flue gas with the advantage of being able to produce an added value by product of dried sludge ( POME ) for animal feed or fertiliser, resulting in better returns on investment of the project. The source of solid waste effluent are : 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Decanter solids Steriliser condensate sludge Clarification station sludge Boiler ash De-sludging of the effluent treatment system De-sludging of all process tanks

The use of the Decanter in the oil clarification station for the removal of solid matter, reduces the load on the separator and static clarification settling tank by about 50 – 75% while there is not change in the load on the other machinery of the clarification station process. Process dried sludge has certain properties:

• • •

Releases nutrients slowly It supplies trace elements And it improves water retention.

The system proposed has been developed and in operation over 20 years at United Plantations Mills, Keck Seng and several other mills in Malaysia and Indonesia.

The proposed system details are as follows : A. Multi cyclone separator. The multi cyclone will remove coarse sand and other solid matters with a particle size of more than 50 microns or about 50% of the solid matter from the crude oil. B. The Decanter system. The decanter will remove approximately 90% of all suspended solids from the crude oil. C. Rotary Drum drier. Solid sludge is conveyed by the screw conveyor and fed to the Rotary Drum Drier located close to the boiler house for heating by the Boiler flue gas. The rotary drum drier in which the flue gas from the boiler, is in direct contact with the wet solids discharged from the decanter, multi cyclone and oil pit – effluent recovery system. Flow of the flue gas and solids is con-current. The flue gas is tapped from the chimney above the boiler fan. The ducting size would be the same size of the chimney and the portion of the chimney above the ducting is closed with a damper for flue gas control. The diamension of the rotary drum drier is 2 meter in diameter and about 15 meter in length. D. Dried sludge clarification screen. The dried sludge material with a moisture content of 10% is discharged at the end of the rotary drum drier and conveyed by a screw conveyor and fed to the vibrating screen. A circular vibrating screen will screen the dust and sludge grains before the mixing and packing in polybags for storage as the finished product and sold to buyer. The product POME ( Palm Oil Mill Effluent Dried sludge ) The best prospects for POME as an animal feed because of its ability to substitute some of the expensive imported components of feed meals and as a fertiliser, POME is a good source of major and minor nutrients. Commercial value of POME fertiliser is about RM 500 per ton and sold to plantations, flower gardens, golf club application to turf etc. A comprehensive analysis of dried sludge is given in the table below:

In conclusion, we can say that dried sludge or POME improves the water availability, carbon and nitrogen content, a provider for microbial activities in soil and a useful source of plant nutrients for crops grown on normal or degraded land. An added attraction of the system that is of growing importance, is the reduction in air pollution brought about by scrubbing of the boiler flue gas in the drier and finally its yields an income as waste by-product.

4.3 THE ANAEROBIC & AEROBIC EFFLUENT TREATMENT SYSTEM. The effluent is not toxic but it has a biochemical oxygen demand of above 25,000 (BOD) which makes it objectionable to fish life when introduced in relatively large quantities in waterways and rivers. The effluent treatment system developed for use in this project shall be of a modern biological system, characterised by the anaerobic and aerobic process phases. The total effluent from the proposed Oil palm mill process is approximately 0.6 tons per ton ffb. which is made up of : 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Sterilizer condensate Classification station dicharge of effluent Hydrocyclone / Claybath waste water Boiler blow down. Wash water, make up the balance.

The proposed Anaerobic & Aerobic effluent treatment system, shall be located within the oil palm mill complex, that will require an area of approximately 100 m x 100m ( 1 ha ) and will consist of :

• • • • • • • • • • • • •

Sterilizer and Sludge oil recovery tank Fat trap pits Compressed air flotation unit. Cooling & Mixing tanks Anaerobic digesting tanks Aeration reactors Solids removal clarifer Effluent metering. Drying bed. Final effluent holding tank Monitoring & control system Pumps and Air compressor Inter-connecting piping, valves and fittings.

A schematic flow diagram and system calculations are enclosed in the appendix.

The system will be monitored on site for pH, volatile fatty acids (VFA), total alkalinity (TA) and solids contents whereas the more complex tests for BOD, COD, ammoniacal nitrogen (AN) and total organic nitrogen (TKN) analysis will be sent out to reputable laboratory for samples test. The proposed effluent treatment system shall be procured from experience environmental control equipment and system vendor who will guarantee its performance. Full advantage is to be made of the “ decanter “ and the “ decanter solids “ dryer, design to dry all of the wet solid sludge removed from the system. To this end part of the sludge outlet water is to be used at the screwpress, in place of the existing dilution water, to assist the transport of the crude oil to the clarification plant.

THE PROCESS The effluent treatment system will include two main parts, the anaerobic section and aerobic stabilisation process before the final discharge of treated palm oil mill effluent onto the plantation for palm tree irrigation. The condensate discharge from the sterilizers is pumped to the post static clarifier an oil recovery system tank. The oil skimmers removes the highly contaminated oil from both the clarifier and sludge decanter tank which is isolated in a special drumming holding tank. The sludge will than pass through a CAF unit for the removal of disolved oils, grease by flotation process etc,… before being fed to the cooling pond. Every precaution is to be taken to ensure that this oil cannot and does not contaminate the crude oil system. The objective is to reduce the loading of the effluent treatment system by the removal of the oil and solid matter in sterilizer condensate at an early stage. The deoiled sterilizer condensate is then discharged in to its own isolated effluent collection pit And overflow to the effluent treatment sys tem. The sludge slurry which are drained from the static clarifier and sludge decanter tank are discharged to the drying bed or conveyed to the rotary sludge dryer for the drying process. The anaerobic phase is favoured by higher temperature and the absence of air. The influent from the sterilizer sludge pit and the clarification pit is to be pumped to the cooling pond and than to the mixing pond. The anaerobic process start to take place in the first pond and end at the digester tanks. There the complex organic materials are first solubilized by the extra cellular enzymes and then converted to volatile acids by acid producing bacteria.

PERUNDING AME – Consulting Engineers

In the last methane fermentation phase the volatile acids are transformed to methane and carbon dioxide. The process is to be accelerated by the circulation of the bacteria laden sludge into the mixing pond of the material from the last digester tank. The acidification process will have an HRT of 1 day. Effluent from the mixing pond is pumped from the collecting sump and into the digesters with a total HRT of more than 20 days. The discharge from the overflow of the final anaerobic tank is to be discharge into an open pit and pumped into the aerobic reactor tanks for the extended aeration process equipped with over powered mechanical aerators. The overflow of the aerobic reactor tank, operating in tandem with a total HRT of 4 days will be pumped to the clarifier tank for the removal of solids. The sludge scum is to be held back and removed from the ample sized “sludge clarification tank”. Sludge accumulated at the bottom of the clarifier, and drying bed, are to be removed by the auto programmed system provided for the sludge removal process. The separated sludge cake can be dried in rotary dryer and used as plant nutrient in compound form as a by product. The treated effluent is now pumped to the final effluent holding tank. A finish effluent holding tank will hold the effluent waste water with a BOD of 20 ppm for displacement into furrows in the plantation disposal area. The system is to be stable and is to be capable of with standing reasonable shock loads. The efficiency of the system is facilitated by a monitoring and programmable control system design which requires only simple maintenance and operational skills.

4.4 DISPOSAL OF TREATED EFFLUENT FOR LAND APPLICATION. The recycling of POME in plantations is now widely accepted as an economically viable and environmentally acceptable waste management technique. Treated Effluent are pumped or discharged by gravity to the pre-selected area as a good source of plant nutrients and a value added ( RM 350 per ha / year ) cost effective organic fertilizer. The disposal of treated effluent for land application require an area of approximately 69 hectares in the plantation, have been marked in the vicinity of the proposed oil palm mill to receive the effluent in loaded furrows. A typical furrow layout is shown in the report drawing section. Field drains on the sides of each plot which act as trenches to prevent poaching.

PERUNDING AME – Consulting Engineers

a. Methods of Land Application. The percolation through furrows or trenches method will be used in the land application of treated effluent of approximately 560m3 / day / ha for the given volume at an application cycle of mor e than 90 days, based on experience. b.

Factors for consideration.

The following factors effect the rate of application. • Soil characteristics such as porosity, water table, acidity of soil; • Characteristics of effluent, such as concentration of large solids; • Age of oil palms; • Vegetation in between the oil palms; Over application of the effluent must be avoided which may result in anaerobic conditions in the soil by formation of an impervious coat of organic matter on the soil surface. c.

The percolation through furrows or trenches system.

Waste Water Effluent is pumped or discharged by gravity to the high points of the pre-selected area and allowed to drain down the slopes in furrows or trenches shown in the appendix “ Typical Furrow layout”. The velocity of flow is given as a steady infiltration rate of 7 – 11 cm per hour, slow enough to enable percolation into the soil and also it prevents erosion. An area of approximately 110 hectares have been marked and allocated in the vicinity of the proposed oil palm mill, shown in the “ Soil suitability for land application of Palm Oil Mill Effluent Survey Report” enclosed. The furrows or trenches are about 90 cm / 60 width x 75 cm depth shown in the appendix and survey report. Field drains of each plot, which act as pits to prevent poaching and used as silt traps to contain sediments transported by surface erosion.

d. Effects of land application. Yields of oil palm increases with the use of oil palm mill effluent. The optimum rate of application is approximately 40 cm rainfall per year. The nutrient value of the soil also shows improvements with land application, especially the nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium values. The effect on underground water and surface drainage, are negligible.

4.5 CONTROL OF AIR EMISSIONS. The Environmental quality ( clean air ) regulation 1978 stipulate the permitted level of solids concentration in gases emitted from solid waste thermal plants to be not more than 0.4 g per cubit meter. Air emissions from oil palm mills are from the boilers and incinerators, being mainly gases with particulates such as tar and soot droplets of 20 – 100 microns and a dust load of about 3000 to 4000 mg. / NM3. Incomplete combustion of the boiler and incinerator produces dark smoke resulting from burning of a mixture of solid waste fuel such as shell, fibre and some times empty bunches. A good design and properly rated boiler capacity with a closed loop control over the fuel feed rate and air supply will ensure steady state combustion in tandem with steam demand. The introduction of the proposed system will alter the situation whereby the thermal plant such as the waste fuel boiler shall emit clean smoke in accordance to the DOE standard requirements.

The scrubber system. Flue gas from the boiler furnace with a temperature of approximately 288 deg. C flow through the ducting to the scrubber. Water is sprayed from the top of the scrubber, through a manifold and then mixed with the flue gas and dust particles where the proc ess of separation of the particles, gas and water droplets take placed. The spray water of 10 m3 per hour used in this system are from the steam turbine cooling system and heat exchange steam condensiate waste water. The cooled clean gas is conveyed by the ID fan that blows the exhausted gas to the chimney Slurry from the separator is collected in a seal tank via a trap sump and pump to the effluent treatment plant. The scrubber system consist of :

• • • • • •

Scrubber unit Fan Moisture separator Pump Inter-connecting piping, valves, fittings and duct works. Control , Instrumentation & wiring.

The above system vendor guarantee an emission at the chimney outlet of less than 400 mg./ NM3 and in accordance to the DOE allowed standard.

5.0 PROJECT COST. The project cost of establishing the proposed mill with a capacity of 30 mt FFB per hour is estimated at the total cost of approximately RM 30 million. This amount is made up of RM 25.6 million for the conventional oil palm mill and the additional investment of RM 4.4 million or 17.19% more for the systems required for the proposed Environmental Control Plan. The expenditure is spread over the mill constructional period of two years. The summary of the above costs are as follows : PACKAGE DETAILS 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

The above estimate have taken into consideration of the following : a). Best applied technology, innovation and development for a modern oil palm mill. b). Proven design of machinery, systems and plant layouts.

c) The site for locating the proposed oil palm mill has been selected on the basis of substantial cost savings in transportation, as being one of the factors for its selection. “ Our aim is to help shape our common future and to save us from being submerged in sludge.”  April 1999 Noel Wambeck

Oil palm mill process monitoring & control system

INTRODUCTION.

Spotting trouble before it strikes for most manufacturing plants, maintaining production equipment means keeping a process within well-defined parameters. Slight variance from those parameters introduces product defects, added machine wear, such as slipping belts, chattering chains and poorly meshing gears, resulting in equipment or system failure. To complicate the process further, critical signs or warning provided in the monitoring and control system are ignored and at times human errors in operation are the cause of total breakdown of the mill. When product defects or equipment failure occur, mill engineers must diagnose the situation and do so quickly to minimize production stoppage.

& Which component is out of specification ? & What is necessary to return the process to normal ? & What needs an adjustment ? & Replacement of new parts or an overhaul is required immediately ? Process monitoring and control (PMC) systems are the best available tools for the purpose. They record the process systems or equipment digitally, they allow instantaneous review, data measurement, and analysis of the data measured. Until now, mills seeking process monitoring systems that work properly had limited choices. The present availability of PMC systems, durable components and companies of reputation with full after sale service, makes rational sense in the investment of a good working process monitoring and control system for oil palm mills that are conducive to spotting trouble before it strikes.

THE DEVELOPM ENT OF OIL PALM IN MALAYSIA.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF OIL PALM IN MALAYSIA. ACTIVIT IES FOR PALM OIL AND FRACT IONS By Noel Wambeck 2nd September 1997.

General Overview. The Malaysian oil palm based industry has grown to become the second largest foreign exchange earner in the country, next to petroleum and gas. Malaysia today exports about 95 percent of its total production of 9 million mt palm oil in the form of refined and fractionated products whereas the bulk of its palm kernel oil is still being exported in the crude form. Manufacture of higher value added products such as oleochemical and fat products based on palm oil and palm kernel oil is still limited and besides being the largest producer of oil palm, Malaysia is already the largest single exported of total oils & fats, ahead of the United States of America which had been the leader up till now.

Competitive edible oil. The existing high prices of all edible oils indicate the general trend in demand. The Tenera material makes possible in Malaysia yields up to 6 tons of oil per hectare ( 2.5 tons of oil per acre ) on alluvial clay soil and indications are that higher yields may be possible on rich volcanic soils such as those of Papua New Guinea, East Malaysia and Indonesia. The oil palm is by far the highest producer of oil per hectare of any commercial planting or crop.

To extend the advantage every measure should be taken to ensure technical development for the production of high quality palm oil. The Malaysian palm oil industry has undergone three distinct phases of growth, each reflecting a progress towards the overall establishment of the palm oil industry. During the first phase there was massive planting of oil palm and construction of Oil Palm & Palm Kernel Mills. This was in response to the encouragement given by the Government in the 1970’s to diversify Malaysia’s agricultural sector. The second phase of growth was in the rapid establishment of a palm oil downstream fractions processing and the establishment of the Oleochemical sector in the 1980’s. In the third phase of development was the joint venture projects undertaken by both, the Government and private sector in palm oil marketing and investment in palm oil refinery processing activities in foreign countries such as China, Vietnam, Egypt, Indonesia, England, etc. Malaysia is in position today to expend its planting activities and have embark on the forth phase of its plan which was launched in the early 1990’s by the establishment of joint venture plantation companies in counties where oil palm can be seen to have been planted, ie. Indonesia, Philippine, South America …. In business and government circles, there is a sense of exhilaration about what has being achieved but the process of de-regulation which started in the early 1990’s has brought about a virtual re-birth of the New Order in the industry and the Government has realized that the private sector is truly the engine of growth in the economy. There is an in-debt desire by the Government and business circles to achieve the aims of the new order but whereas the Government's inclination is for creating a macro economic balance and on the other hand agree to the continued expansion of the private sector's preference to profit in development.

Demand for Palm Oil. As the world population increases the demand and consumption of Edible oil’s will increase and in particular palm oil products to a level above 15.5 kg per capita consumption by the year 2000.

Review of the marketing palm oil and fractions. The countries with the most need for edible oil, are usually those which are the least able to afford large scale imports. They are also likely to be the same countries least likely to have adequate processing facilities for crude palm oil. In the context of Malaysia's future activities for palm oil and fractions, the marketing of palm stearin represents a special case, as Malaysia increases the amount of Palm Olein placed on the world and its domestic cooking oil market, an inevitable consequence will be the co-production of increasing amounts of palm stearin. Not all of this additional production will be absorbed locally; discovering or creating new overseas markets for the balance, is a priority for the Malaysian marketing organization. Palm Stearin, although ideally food grate material has been placed with some success in those markets, usually serviced by beef and / or mutton tallow. Palm Stearin is a useful source of a completely natural, hard fat component, for such products as compound shortenings, pastry margarine and other products which capitalize on the specific crystallization attributes of palmitic acid. Commercial fatty acids are derived almost entirely from natural fats. The fatty acids are an abundant raw material, produced from a renewable resource, and serve as building blocks for the entire Oleochemical Industry. Historically, the main fats used for the manufacture of fatty acids have been beef tallow, as the source of Palmitic C16 acids and Stearic / Oleic C18 acids, together with coconut oil, the only significant source of lauric C12 acids. Tallow production is a function of red meat consumption and is estimated to be growing at a rate of only 1.5% per year. World population is projected to grow at a rate of 1.6% per year while world palm oil production is expected to grow at a rate of 7.3 % per year. (Oil World.) Palm Stearin and Palm Kernel oil, whose production growths have been out-stripping those of tallow and coconut oil by a wide margin, are equally rich source of these acids. It is to be expected that Palm oil derived inputs will continue to be available at prices attractive relative to those of tallow and coconut oil, and that their use in oleochemical manufacture will also grow. With recent developments in Eastern Europe an expanded market for Palm Oil based material, both for food and technical uses will emerge. Coupled with these regional changes, developments in the oleochemical field, driven by demands for even increasing utilization of renewable resources, mean that fats, oils and their fatty derivatives will be subject to increasing demands in the future; in other words the raw material supply will be available on long term with no effect on the year to year basis.

Research & Development. It is evident that a lot has been achieved in the last century for the development and technology in the oil palm industry. Advances in R & D undertaken by the industry in brief, are: < Pioneer strategic marketing technique. < Development of palm oil e-business and e-commerce. < Advanced training programs for managers, planters, technical and process engineers. < Mechanisation in planting, maintenance and harvesting in the plantations. < Higher density planting of palm trees and the cloning of high yield oil palm research. < Biological pest control. ( Owls and Bats ) < New potential use of palm oil in food products and nutrition. E.g. Vitamin research < Use of palm oil for body care products, Biodegradable detergents, engine oil, inks, molecular electronics etc….. < Technical use of oil palm waste in the automobile, plastic & composite material. E.g. Fibre in car sits and mattress, trunk in fibre board, glassy carbon. etc. < New processing equipment and systems including Larger capacity oil palm mills, refineries and processing plants. < Quality product handling, packing and transportation ( ie. Containerization) of palm oil produces. < Better oil palm processing techniques and the use of IT systems, computerization, robotic, automation etc… < The incorporation of operating procedures, equipment, plant and process systems to meet the ecological, hygienic and cleanliness of the plant on par with good food manufacturing industrial plants standards. Palm oil production will be a major factor in 5 years time, but it is today, secondary to the increased production of seed crop oils. The superior quality of CPO and its derivatives are the marketing organisation’s assurance for the future of its product. Cultural and religious practices tend to favour Palm Oil derivatives. complete acceptance for both food and cosmetic applications.

THE OIL PALM EXTRACTION PROCESS MATCHING WITH TYPE OF FFB. By Noel Wambeck - 25th September 1974.

The oil extraction of palm fruit can be carried out by 3 different methods : a. b. c.

Centrifuge equipment by Leaching or wet process ( water washing ) Piston or discontinuous pressing ( Automatic hydraulic press. ) Continuous pressing ( by single or twin screw press.)

Other methods have been considered and experimented, such as solvent extraction, extraction by saturated steam, by pressing of fruit pulp only, simultaneous extraction of palm and palm kernel oil after crushing the whole fruit and high-pressure critical extraction.

The chart above shows the different methods that have to be applied for the selected fruit with different pulp contents.

THE PROCESS MATCHING WITH TYPE OF FFB.

Page 2.

A DURA cake is for instance, an agglomeration of nuts with fibres in between, whereas a TENERA cake is a fibre mattress with dispersed nuts. The ratio of nuts to fibre or nuts to pulp decides the type of equipment to be used for oil palm milling or extraction process. However, there are not only these ratios which will affect the choice of equipment, process systems and the design of the oil palm mill, but also the fact that pulp and fibre show characteristics that do not appear as long as they mixed with nuts, but become apparent when the continuous phase is made up with fibre and cellular debris. This important feature is the imperviousness of pulp and cake. This phenomenon is generally known as ‘’ OIL WALL “. Cake imperviousness is explained by the clogging up of fibrous mesh by cellular debris and cell clusters.

The introduction of TENERA material, came one of the most important process phases in modern oil palm milling, the extraction of oil from pre-treated digested fruit, the continuous twin screw press.

OIL PALM EMPTY BUNCH DISPOSAL BY THE INTEGRATED INCINERATION. By Noel Wambeck  22 nd April 1999.

The processing oil palm is one of the most unique self-sufficient processes in Agro-based manufacturing industry, yet the most pollution contributor to the environment. In 1998 about 400 oil palm mills were known to be in operation producing approximately 9.3 million tons of crude palm oil, 15 million tons Empty bunches of unused solid waste and 300 thousand tons of revenue yielding Potash per year in Malaysia.

The salient air pollutants from the oil palm mill process, are :

• •

Smoke and dust from the boiler. Smoke and dust from the incinerator.

The Smoke and dust from the boiler is a subject of another paper. This brief paper will deal with the disposal of empty bunches a solid waste from the process of an oil palm mill. Empty bunch a solid waste product of the Oil Palm Milling process has a high moisture content of approximately 55 – 65% and high in silica content , form 25% of the total weight of Palm Fruit Bunch. The treated Empty bunch are mechanically crushed ( de-watered and de-oiled ) in the process but are rich in major nutrients and contain reasonable amounts of trace elements. When properly incinerated they yield 0.3 to 0.5 % of ash and such ash contents the following average contitutients : • • • •

Potassium 28% Phosphorous 1.2% Calcium 2.3% Magnesium 4%

They have a value when returned to the field after incineration as POTASH for the enrichment of soil. Many new systems for empty bunch disposal other than the incineration process and

disposal for land application are being tried but no generally accepted system by the industry has yet emerged.

The existing simple design of the incinerator to burn empty bunch is to be phased out and disapproved for use in new mills by DOE due to high air pollution and discomfort to the local Authority, who have to attend to complains of smoke and haze made by inhabitants of the area. The Incinerator which are subjected to shock loads and unstable combustion resulting in high amounts of dust particles in the flue gas emitted to the atmosphere. All efforts to find a solution are being encouraged by DOE, PORIM and the Industry and to some extend, partial results have taken placed in the development of ne w technology in the treatment of effluent and air pollution control. We envisage that the thermal oxidation system, being the direct approach to the problem may be able to solve the hazards and control of the environment in providing a means to reduction of the flue gas discharge of the incinerator. The integrated system proposed is for the empty bunches to be de-watered and where the oil is recovered in the crushing process and than finally the solid waste residue disposed off by thermal oxidation in the incineration process has economical merit when considering the alternative cost for the mulching system.

OIL PALM MILL EMPTY BUNCH INCINERATOR WITH DUST COLLECTOR AND ASH REMOVAL SYSTEM.

The Environmental quality ( clean air ) regulation 1978 stipulate the permitted level of solids concentration in gases emitted from solid waste thermal plants to be not more than 0.4 g per cubit meter. Air emissions from oil palm mill incinerators, being mainly gases with particulates such as tar and soot droplets of 20 – 100 microns and a dust load of about 3000 to 4000 mg. / NM3. Incomplete combustion of the incinerator produces dark smoke resulting from burning of empty bunches. The introduction of the proposed system will alter the situation whereby the incinerator shall emit clean smoke in accordance to the DOE standard requirements. Dewater / de-oiled empty bunches are fed into the incinerator chute fitted with smoke trap door. Flue gas from the incinerator furnace with a temperature of approximately 600 deg. C flow through the axial flow votex tube type dust collector that is mounted in line of the flue gas ducting system. The Dust collector is an axial flow centrifugal separation devise used to separate particulate matter from gas streams by centrifugal action. The cooled clean gas is conveyed by the ID fan that blows the exhausted gas to the chimney The system consist of : • Inlet chute

1998 ORLAC / FAO p 255 - 267

The African oil palm, Elaeis guineensis (Jacq.), is characterized by its vertical trunk and the feathery nature of its leaves. Every year, 20 to 25 new leaves, called "fronds", develop in continuous whorls at the apex of the trunk. The fruit bunches develop between the trunk and the base of the new fronds. Although new plantations start to bear at three years, generally the first commercial crop requires between five and six years and continues to produce for 25-30 years, or until the palms grow too high to be harvested. Once a plantation reaches full production, a new inflorescence is produced every 15 days. It weighs between 15 and 20 kg and can contain up to 1500 individual palm fruits of between 8 to 10 grammes each. The individual fruits consist of the following four parts: a pericarp, a thin outer skin, which upon ripening changes from brown to orange; a mesocarp, a layer of fibrous material, which surrounds the nut; an endocarp or hard inner shell (nut) to protect the seed or kernel, and the seed (kernel).

PRODUCTION AND TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESS Production The African oil palm, which yields about 20t/ha/yr of fresh fruit bunches (Bolaños, 1986; Espinal, 1986: Garza, 1986), is capable of producing between three to five t/ha of crude oil from the fruit (mesocarp) and an additional 0.6 to 1.0 t/ha from the palm kernels (Ocampo et al., 1990a). Its productivity is influenced by climate, soil type, genetic factors, maturity, rainfall, fertilization and the harvest period. Mijares (1985) has stated that for optimum annual production the African oil palm requires a minimum of 1600 mm of well distributed precipitation, a relative humidity no less than 75%, a minimum and maximum temperature of between 17 and 28 C., a total of 2000 hours of light and a soil depth of 100 centimetres. There are two distinct types of oil palm: the "dura" and the "pisifera". The basic difference has to do with the inner nut. The nut of the dura type of oil palm has a thick and hard shell while the pisifera type has a small kernel, with no shell, but rather surrounded by a matrix of fibre. When a pisifera male is crossed with a dura female, a "tenera" type of fruit is produced; its shell is of intermediate thickness. Currently, it is this type of oil palm that is most widely grown in plantations. The African oil palm produces two main commercial products: raw or crude oil, approximately 22% of the weight of the fresh fruit bunch, and the palm nuts which represent 4-6%. When the nut is processed, it yields palm kernel oil and palm kernel meal. The two main industrial residues, the oil-rich fibrous residue and the palm nut shells, are used as sources of energy to run the factory. The empty fruit bunch is normally incinerated and the ash is returned to the plantation as fertilizer.

FAO / Chapter 4: African oil palm - Feeding Pigs in the tropics

The initial interest in the African oil palm as a feed resource for pigs was in the extracted and nonextracted palm kernel meal. This was because when nuts of the oil palm were first brought to Europe from Africa as ship's ballast, they were jettisoned into the sea before the ships were reloaded. However, soon the oil millers recognized their value and began processing them for oil in order to supplement copra oil in the manufacture of soap, paints and for other industrial applications (Collingwood, 1958). The meal was used as a major protein supplement for pigs and cattle until soya bean meal became commercially available. Oil palm cultivation started at the beginning of this century (Devendra, 1977). By 1980, production of oil had risen to slightly more than five million tons and, by 1992, annual world production reached thirteen million tons. As seen in Table 4.1, the primary areas of production are Southeast Asia, followed by the west coast of Africa and Latin America. Currently, Malaysia produces half the world's production of palm oil, followed by Indonesia and Nigeria. Presently, the fourth and fastest growing producer of palm oil is Colombia, where production has more than quadrupled in 12 years. In that country, (Ocampo et al., 1990b) has reported that the average annual production of fruit is 15 t/ha of which raw oil represents slightly more than three tons.

TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESS The technological process by which the oil is extracted from the palm fruit consists of the following steps; note that the fresh fruit bunch includes the stem and the adhering individual palm fruits. Reception: where sand, dirt and gravel are separated from the fresh fruit bunch. Sterilization: necessary to rapidly inactivate certain enzymes which tend to reduce the quality of the oil by increasing the amount of free fatty acids. In addition, this process contributes to the mechanical separation of the fruit from the stem and to the rupture of the oil cells within the mesocarp. Oil extraction: An oil press, into which hot water is injected, is used to separate the crude oil from the solid or fibrous-like material containing the nuts. The crude oil is then pumped to the purification section. Figure 4.1 shows the quantities of the principal components of the oil palm based on 100 tons of the fresh fruit bunch. The nuts are treated and cracked to extract the kernel which contains approximately 50% oil. The oil-rich fibrous residue, traditionally used as a source of energy to run the plant, has a caloric value superior to 18.8 MJ/kg. This is largely due to the residual oil, calculated as between 8 and 18 percent (Brezing, 1986; Solano, 1986; Wambeck, 1990). Similar to the proposal for livestock diversification within the sugar industry (FAO, 1988), the integration of pig production within the oil palm industry might introduce a certain degree of flexibility in the entire enterprise, resulting in: an increase in the productive capacity of the plant, particularly during the period of maximum industrial yield; a significant reduction in plant maintenance; increased employment opportunities related to the utilization of the different byproducts for livestock feeding; the production of animal wastes and thereby organic fertilizer for the plantations and, perhaps most importantly, an overall reduction in the amount and/or concentration of the industrial effluents which threaten the contamination of the surrounding ecosystem (Ocampo, personal communication). As a follow-up to these observations, the following information summarizes the average daily amount of products and sub-products produced in a oil palm processing plant of 125 t/day and 10t/hour (Table 4.2). One factor that might require attention if derivatives from the African oil palm present new opportunities to be used as energy feed resources for pigs is the cyclic nature of its production. Bolaños (1986) has reported that in Costa Rica the average monthly yield of fresh fruit bunch can vary from 6% during the dry winter months to 10 or 12% during the rainy, summer season. In that country, the annual yield of the fresh fruit bunch is 20 t/ha and with the oil-rich fibrous residue representing 12% of this amount, this could mean the production of 0.3 t/ha of oil-rich fibrous residue during the wet season as opposed to only 0.15 t/ha during the dry or winter season.

Source: Brezing (1986) However, if sugar cane, generally harvested only in the dry season, was integrated into this feeding system, the two energy feed resources might complement each other. The data in Tables 4.6 and 4.7 tend to support this interesting concept.

USE FOR PIGS As earlier mentioned, one of the first references to the use of derivatives of the oil palm for pigs referred to the use of the extracted and non-extracted palm kernel meal in complete, dry rations for growing/finishing pigs. Most pig farmers contended that the gritty texture of the meal affected consumption, and therefore performance. However, palm kernel meal continued to be used for many years as a replacement for scarce cereals, mainly because it was available, relatively inexpensive and highly nutritious (Crowther, 1916, cited by Collingwood, 1958). In the 1930s, when a commercial process for extracting oil from the soya bean was perfected and it was seen that a higher quality animal protein supplement (soya bean meal), would be commercially available, the byproduct from the extraction of the oil from the kernel, palm kernel meal, was destined for ruminants (PNI, 1990). Currently, palm kernel meal represents about one per cent of world trade in oil seed meals. Table 4.3 gives the chemical composition of several oil palm byproducts.

Sources: a Devendra (1977); b Ong (1982) To date, derivatives of the African oil palm have shown potential feeding value for pigs in conventional, cereal-based rations: the de-hydrated palm oil mill effluent and the fresh centrifuged sludge solids have been studied both by Devendra et al. (1981) and by Ong (1982), and the whole palm nut by Flores (1989) and Chavez (1990). However, recent interest has focused on the use of primary products and by-products of the African oil palm as a partial or complete energy source replacement in swine rations, particularly where the protein is offered separately, in the form of a restricted amount of a high-quality supplement. It has been shown that the oil-rich fibrous residue (ORFR), normally used as a source of energy to run the factory, can also furnish the necessary energy for the pig (Ocampo et al., 1990a, 1990b). As exemplified in following sections, the successful experimental use of the crude oil (Ocampo, 1994b), combinations of the crude oil and sugar cane juice (Ngoan and Sarría, 1994) and even the whole fresh palm fruit (Ocampo, 1994a, b) further emphasize the fact that other oil palm byproducts can serve to completely replace cereals in rations for swine.

Crude (raw) palm oil Crude palm oil has traditionally been used up to about 5% in dry diets for pigs in a manner similar to molasses: to improve palatability, to reduce dustiness, to supply vitamins and to improve the texture of rations prior to pelleting (Devendra, 1977; Hutagalung and Mahyudin, 1981). The oil contains approximately 80% of unsaturated fatty acids (Table 4.4) and 10% of linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid required at a dietary level of 0.1% for pigs (NRC, 1988).

Source:Pardo and Moreno (1971), cited by Ocampo et al. (1990b) The addition of from 2 to 10% of crude palm oil in the diets of growing pigs was studied by Fetuga et al. (1975) who found no significant effect on performance. When palm oil was compared to groundnut oil, lard or beef tallow, there were no significant growth differences, however, increasing the level of palm oil in the diet slightly increased the percentage of lean cuts (Babatunde et al., 1971, 1974, cited by Devendra, 1977). This same observation was reported by Balogun et al. (1983) cited by Ngoan and Sarría (1994) who noted that the addition of 30, 64 or 97 g/kg of palm oil to the ration increasingly improved muscle development. In Malaysia, it was reported that six groups of pigs from 16 to 81 kg were fed iso-nitrogenous diets containing different levels of palm oil, from 5 to 30 percent. Although the results were reported as not significant, the average daily gains obtained on the experimental diets were 10% superior compared to that of the cereal control; in addition, where palm oil was included, the conversions were improved by an average of 17 percent (Devendra and Hew, cited by Devendra, 1977). Recently, Ocampo (1994b) showed that palm oil and a source of protein, either fortified soya bean meal and rice polishings, or combinations of fortified soya bean meal/fresh Azolla and rice polishings, might provide an interesting feeding system for the production of pigs in the tropics, particularly if the pigs were integrated with the palm plantations. Pigs of an initial average liveweight of 30 kg were fed diets in which 10, 20 and 30% of the protein from fortified soya meal was replaced by fresh Azolla filiculoides, a water fern (Table 4.5).

In the afternoon, they received the remaining portion of Azolla and oil. The average daily gain (g) and dry matter feed conversion for the control treatment, without Azolla, and the groups where 10, 20 and 30% of the protein in soya bean meal was replaced by that of Azolla were: 526, 2.10; 561, 1.98; 535, 2.00 and 452, 2.20, respectively. In the same publication reference was made to a commercial piggery that used the following "palm oil feeding system". For that, a total of 170 growing/finishing pigs, in 4 groups, were fed daily one kilogramme of protein supplement and 0.5 kg of crude palm oil. The protein supplement contained: 450 g soya bean meal, 374 g palm kernel meal, 150 g rice polishings, 20 g dicalcium phosphate and 3 g each of salt and a vitamin/mineral premix. The initial average liveweight (kg), average daily gain (g) and dry matter feed conversion for each of the 4 groups were 32.0, 722, 1.80; 24.2, 628, 2.00; 25.8, 524, 2.40 and 26.0, 464, 2.80, respectively. In spite of the fact that the diet was the same for all groups, no explanation was offered for the observed variation in performance, inferring, perhaps, that the "palm oil feeding system" requires further refinement. Palm oil has also been studied as either a partial or complete energy source replacement for pigs, also fed fresh sugar cane juice and a restricted protein supplement. The oil replaced 25, 50, 75 and 100% of the energy in cane juice in both the growing and finishing phases of this most interesting and unique feeding system to study the potential integration of sugar cane and the African oil palm as dry/wetseason energy feed resource alternatives for pig production in the tropics (Table 4.6). The average daily gain was not significantly affected by treatment in the growing phase, however, during the finishing phase, gains were significantly lowered when palm oil replaced 75 and 100% of the juice (Table 4.7). In both phases, the average daily feed intake was lower for those pigs fed palm oil which according to the authors, might have been related to its low palatability or high energy content. They reported a digestible energy value for palm oil and sugar cane juice in pigs as 37.5 and 14.5 MJ/kg of DM, respectively. Feed conversions were significantly improved by the addition of palm oil. Carcass measurements were not affected.

The chemical composition of this residue is presented in Table 4.3. This material, reported to contain from 63% (Wambeck, 1990) to 70 or 85% dry matter (Solano, 1986) still contains from 6 to 8% of residual oil. It is of a deep yellowtangerine color, with a fibrous consistency, sweetish smell and greasy-like texture (Ocampo et al., 1990a). It is used as the main source of energy to run the plant. ORFR has been studied as a complete replacement for the energy derived from cereals. Diets in which sorghum was the sole energy source, or where 25, 50, 75 or 100% of the energy from sorghum was replaced by this residue, were offered ad libitum to pigs from 20 to 90 kg, also fed a restricted amount of fortified soya bean meal to meet the current, daily, NRC (1988) requirement for crude protein (Ocampo et al., 1990a).

Preliminary results showed that pigs can grow extremely well on this type of feeding system. Where ORFR replaced 100% of the energy supplied by sorghum, the average liveweight growth was 639 g/day. The pigs consumed a daily average of 0.75 kg of protein supplement together with 2.32 kg of oilrich fibrous residue (Table 4.8). Table 4.8.

(1990a); * fed 0.55, 0.64 and 0.9 kg/day of fortified soya bean meal (see Table 4.5) during the 3 phases of: weaners, growers and finishers, respectively Following this initial trial, Ocampo et al. (1990b), attempted to prove an observation of Sarría et al. (1990), that when pigs are fed a restricted amount of a high quality protein supplement, particularly when the required levels of essential amino acids are supplied by soya bean meal, lower amounts of total crude protein are feasible. This amounts to approximately 200 g/day and can be provided in 500 g/day of a 40% protein, soya bean meal-based supplement. The concept had been first developed through feeding systems based on sugar cane juice (see Chapter 3). For this study, the basic diet was ORFR, fed ad libitum. Three groups of growing/finishing pigs were fed constant amounts (high, medium or low) of fortified soya bean meal throughout the entire experimental period. A fourth group, the control, received different amounts of fortified soya bean meal (high, medium and low) to correspond with the needs of each of the three developmental phases: weaners, growers and finishers (Table 4.9). The authors concluded that the two groups that received the least amount of protein exhibited an inferior performance but gave the highest economic returns. A more recent trial studied the effect of supplementing this unusual feeding system (ad libitum ORFR and a restricted amount of protein supplement) with methionine and/or B-complex vitamins (Ocampo, 1992). None of the experimental treatments produced significant results.

Palm oil mill effluent and palm oil sludge The palm oil mill effluent, the final liquid discharge after extracting the oil from the fresh fruit bunch, contains soil particles, residual oils and suspended solids but only 5% of dry matter. While Wambeck (1990) stated that it represents 0.5 t/t of fresh fruit and can cause serious problems to the entire surrounding ecosystem, Brezing (1986) went one step further and estimated that a processing plant with a capacity of 10 tons fresh fruit per hour would require a water treatment plant comparable to that required by a population of half a million inhabitants! Palm oil sludge is the material that remains after decanting the palm oil mill effluent (Devendra et al., 1981). It can be either filter-pressed, before dried and ground to produce dehydrated palm oil mill effluent, or centrifuged in the wet state, after having undergone anaerobic, thermophilic and acidophilic fermentation. In the latter case, the product is known as fresh centrifuged sludge solids of 15 to 20% dry matter and may be dehydrated to form dry centrifuged sludge solids of between 94 and 97% dry matter (Table 4.3). The composition of the essential amino acids in palm oil sludge and palm kernel meal is given in Table 4.10. Although, there is insufficient information concerning the amino acid composition of different African oil palm products, data from Table 4.10 suggest that lysine is not present in an appropriate proportion in the protein.

The average daily gain and dry matter feed conversion for the maize control group and one of the experimental treatments containing fresh centrifuged sludge solids was: 700g, 3.36 and 650g and 3.83, respectively (Ong, 1982). Dehydrated palm oil mill effluent has been incorporated up to 20% in dry rations for growing/finishing pigs; however, with increasing inclusion of dehydrated palm oil mill effluent, performance was poorer and carcass fat deposition increased (Table 4.11).

There have been numerous attempts to convert palm oil mill effluent into a viable animal feed resource; however, most methods have been discontinued due to the large initial capital investment required, and particularly to the cost of fuel for dehydration. In Malaysia, one method used to convert fresh palm oil mill effluent into a potential feedstuff involved concentration by centrifugation or decantation, followed by absorption on other dry feeds like tapioca chips, grass meal or palm kernel meal. The absorption process can be repeated several times before final dehydration (Webb, Hutagalung and Cheam, 1976, cited by Devendra et al., 1981). Perhaps, one idea would be to promote the use of the fresh centrifuged sludge solids (15-20% dry matter) for finishing pigs which, compared to younger animals, have a greater capacity to effectively use larger amounts of more liquid feeds. To date, apparently, this material has only been used in dry, concentrate rations (Ong, 1982). This approach might require supplementation to increase the crude protein content to that of a cereal, as well as some molasses to improve palatability. It would have to be fed immediately, preferably near the factory in order to avoid transportation of a product that contains 80% of water. Interestingly, this approach was indicated by Devendra et al. (1981) for feeding sheep and cattle (Devendra, 1992); he referred to the use of this residual product alone, or combined with oil-rich fibrous residue. Perhaps, this same recommendation might be applied to feeding pigs. In Ghana, oil palm slurry (sludge) has been used to replace 15, 20, 25 and 30% of maize in ad libitum diets for growing pigs to 70 kg. The control group was fed a maize-based diet; performance was not affected by the use of sludge. It was emphasized that with the exception of the loin-eye area, carcass measurements were improved when pigs were offered the slurry-containing feed (Abu et al., 1984). The use of unconventional feeds for pigs in Ghana was also studied by Hertrampf (1988), who reported using oil palm sludge in place of maize at a level of from 15 to 30 percent. An increase in the daily feed intake and the average daily gain, in addition to a significant reduction in feed costs, was reported.

Palm kernel meal The palm kernel represents 5% of the weight of the fresh fruit bunch; it contains approximately 50% oil (Beltrán, 1986). The meal is produced by extracting the oil from the kernel within the palm nut. The resultant meal, sometimes also referred to as "palm kernel cake", can contain from 12 to 23% of crude protein depending upon the efficiency of the process used to extract the oil (Table 4.12) . As expressed earlier, the first oil palm by-product reportedly used for feeding pigs was the extracted and non-extracted palm kernel meal. It was first used in Europe as a substitute for wheat bran in rations for growing/finishing pigs. Currently, because of its poor palatability and high fibre content, it is more commonly fed to ruminants where it produces a hard, white carcass fat in meat animals and a saturated fatty acid profile in the milk of lactating animals (PNI, 1990). In Nigeria, palm kernel meal was used for pigs but it ranked lowest in protein quality compared to other local protein sources and produced a loss in weight (Fetuga et al., 1974, cited by Devendra, 1977).

However, in Colombia, good results have been reported (Ocampo, 1994b) when almost 40% of palm kernel meal was used in the form of a restricted protein supplement that also contained soya bean meal. Correct storage, to reduce the risk of mould and the production of alfa-toxins, was emphasized. The chemical composition and digestibility of palm kernel meal is shown in Table 4.12. Table 4.12.

Whole fresh palm fruit The chemical composition of the flesh (mesocarp) which surrounds the palm nut, and interior kernel, is presented in Table 4.13. The whole fresh palm fruit constitutes a potential energy feed resource for the small-scale pig producer without access to factory produced palm oil derivatives, such as, crude oil or oil-rich fibrous residue. In an experiment to determine the performance of pigs from 27 to 90 kg, fed twice daily with a restricted amount of protein, and whole fresh palm fruit as a partial or complete replacement for sorghum, Ocampo (1994a) surprisingly found that, apart from consuming easily the fibrous material adjuring to the nut, the pigs often ate the entire fruit including the palm nut and the interior kernel. It was observed that first they ate the fibrous material surrounding various nuts, accumulated the nuts, then proceeded to crack and extract the kernel within the nuts. One interesting observation was that when the fresh fruit was stored for more than seven days, palatability, and therefore voluntary consumption, was noticeably affected.

Source: Ocampo (1994b) Although the data in Table 4.14 show that best growth was obtained when only 25% of the fresh fruit was used in place of sorghum, it was emphasized that best economic gains were when 75 or 100% of the fruit was used. In a second trial, Ocampo (1994c) used 4 groups to study the optimum amount of rice polishings as a source of carbohydrate for growing/finishing pigs, also fed a restricted protein supplement (500 g/day) and whole, unprocessed African oil palm fruit, fed ad libitum. The amount of rice polishings offered during the growing phase (20-60 kg) was 100, 200, 300 and 400 g/day, and during the finishing phase (60-90 kg), 150, 250, 350 and 450 g/day. During the entire experimental period, the average consumption of the fresh fruit was 1.1, 1.1, 1.0 and 0.9 kg AD/day; the average liveweights were: 485, 515, 492 and 497 g/day and dry matter conversions were: 3.20, 3.20, 3.30 and 3.30, respectively. Reportedly, the most economic levels of rice polishings were 200 g/day during the growing phase and 250 g/day during the finishing phase. Table 4.14.

For the low income farmer in the tropics, the possibility to fatten a pig with one's own fresh palm fruit, and perhaps purchase only 60 kg of a high-quality protein supplement, or even use some rice polishings, is definitely an example of an alternative feeding system for pigs. This same author also emphasized that if a feeding system based on the whole fruit was used, there would be approximately 100 g/day of protein availabe to the pig via the kernel, and that this fact merited even further study. Obviously, the African oil palm has definite potential as a feed resource for pigs in the tropics. Perhaps, its utilization might be improved if more basic information related to its nutritional value was available.

PREPARATION OF AN OIL PALM MILL PROJECT. By Noel Wambeck ( Revised 30th October 1997 )

INTRODUCTION. Once a project have been initiated, and the decision has been taken to go ahead with a project, the management team will need the totally committed backing of the investors and that the degree of confidence and faith in the project can only come from a thoroughly prepared project study and appraisal. To the investor, it is important that they should generate a good cash flow as early as possible through well planned but speedy development, income arising from early plantings or from revenues, exploitation of natural resources, eg. Sales of timber from land preparation or from tree crops during replanting cycles. Timely provision of infrastructure including roads of access for development inputs and for produce evacuation, water supply, housing and offices, power, communications with adequate processing facilities and logistics for points of export, shall all be part of the preparation of project. Although a lot have been said and written on the subject of “ PROJECT STUDY “ the basic phases involved from project inception to project implementation are as follows: OVERALL APPROACH The project work will be divided into 4 main stages and later, further sub-divided in accordance with the yet-to-be-determined Phases of development. Stage 1 is described in detail and the subsequent stages are described in general since these stages depend on the Stage 1 findings.

We recommend that these work stages be as follows:-

Stage 1

:

Initial assessment of the proposed project site and preparation of a Feasibility Study Report.

Stage 2

:

Compilation of additional information and basic design for submission to Local Authority and approvals.

Stage 3

:

Detailed Project Design and Drawings, Tender Documents to Tender Evaluation and Contract Document.

Stage 4

:

Implementation and Supervision of the project.

PREPARATION OF AN OIL PALM MILL PROJECT.

2

STAGE 1. PROPOSED SITE SELECTION AND FEASIBILITY STUDY REPORT

The essential elements in Stage 1 are as follows :1.1

Discussions with the Client’s project members regarding their objectives for the proposed oil palm plantation project in the short, medium and long-term requirements. The discussions would include marketing strategy and determine whether Market Research or an Economic Study would be required at Stage 2.

1.2

The project team to inspect the proposed project site identified by the client. The site visit will include locating possible sites for the operation command base, plantation, nursery area, processing facilities and infrastructure such as, roads water source, waste water effluent discharge point, housing area, utility requirements for estate, such as treated water and electrical power etc…..

1.3.1

Liaise with local Authority in order to take into account any restrictions the Authority may have on the establishment and operation of the proposed project.

1.4

Assess location of plantation site with regards to the communication and transportation logistics.

1.5

Consider the following items to determine the advantages and disadvantages of each site.

1.6

Access to site during land preparation, construction of infrastructure, planting and during operation.

1.7

Location of each site relative to the shoreline and access roads.

1.8

Assess the size of each site for the proposed project.

1.9

Determine the capacity and zoning for expansion at each site.

1.10

Estimate the ground level at each site relative to the tide levels and assess the need for flood prevention including reclamation and shoreline protection.

1.11

Investigate the Environmental effects, including effluent disposal. Determine the requirements for the Environmental Impact Assessment which will be carried out at Stage 2.

1.12

Assess location of sites with regards to source for construction materials.

1.13

Investigate the requirements of Local Government and of other Approval Authorities for the construction of a project

1.14

Preliminary investigation into source of processing equipment and in particular, we would explore the possibility of using locally manufactured equipment.

1.15

Study the existing site investigation details. Determine the extent of further investigation and topographic and surveys required at each site. The Investigation and Surveys would be carried out at Stage 2.

PREPARATION OF AN OIL PALM MILL PROJECT.

1.16

Determine in principle the foundations required for the buildings and structures based on Existing soil information.

1.17

Identify whether Market Research and Economic Studies are required.

1.18

Prepare order-of-cost budget estimates for the preferred site, including approximate comparisons with the other site if appropriate. The budget estimate would include the cost of soil investigation, Earthworks, Reclamation, Infrastructure, Services, and the Processing Plant. In addition the estimate shall nclude i the approximate costs for upgrading existing roads if required.

1.19

The results of the study will be presented in a report highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each site recommending which site should be selected for Stage 2 investigations.

This stage is intended to provide an overview of the main issues, and does not become involved in detail. The project site selection, assessment and feasibility study will make use of as much data that is available at the time, including charts or surveys indicating general topography and preliminary knowledge of soil conditions from the existing site investigation.

This data will be augmented by data obtained in the field during the site visit. The study will take into account the Client’s requirements in preliminary terms and will aim to confirm that the desired facilities within the development plan can be efficiently located on the proposed site. During Stage 1 it is expected that several discussions will take place in order to establish the medium and long-term requirements of the project. It will be identified whether there is a clash between the short-term needs of the Client and their long-term objectives. This will be assessed in Stage 2. The deliverables in Stage 1 would be presented as a document recording the data used and the risks involved pending later detailed surveys and soils investigations. It will include layouts at small scale with descriptive text and preliminary order-of-cost budget estimates. The cost estimates for the site will be based on the existing soil investigation at the site.

STAGE 2. COMPILATION OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND BASIC PROJECT DESIGNS FOR SUBMISSION TO LOCAL AUTHORITIES AND APPROVALS.

The commencement of Stage 2 services would be dependent on written instructions from the Client to proceed. The activity and work components of Stage 2 would generally be as follows :-

2.1

Establish Short, Medium and Long-Term Requirements of the Plant

Based on the outline concept layout selected from the Stage 1 work, establish in precise terms by discussion, the detailed objectives and strategies required to achieve the Client’s business plan for the short, medium and long-term.

2.2

Review and Acquisition of Project Design Data.

At a detailed level, and in close cooperation with Operational Staff, considerable amounts of data will need to be reviewed, or if not available, acquired. Such data would include size of the proposed oil palm plantation, utility requirements including capacities and distribution round the processing plants. In addition, if it is found during Stage 1 that further studies such as Market Research and Economic Studies, these studies would also be carried out, during Stage 2. On completion of the required on-site surveys, investigations and the desktop studies, all such data would be entered into a Project Design Specification Document, which is updated and reissued to the Client as and when required. This document forms the basis for the recording of agreed data, and provides the Client with a permanent means of easy reference in the future. Stage 2 would also include an Environmental Assessment Report. The assessment would include a study into the present and future needs of the project against the present and expected future legislation. Included in the study will be required data and forms for the applications and approvals by Local Authorities.

2.3

Definition of the Agreed Project Scheme.

Based on the reviews of data, the acquisition of essential new data, and detailed discussions on proposed project scheme to meet business plan objectives. These Study report taken together with the Basic Design Specification document define the Agreed Scheme, from which on the instructions of the Client, detailed engineering would commence.

PREPARATION OF AN OIL PALM MILL PROJECT.

STAGE 3.

5

DETAILED DESIGN, TENDERS AND CONTRACT DOCUMENT.

The activity and work components of Stage 3 would generally be as follows: -

3.1

Detailed Engineering Design

Based on the Agreed Scheme layouts and associated drawings and on the contents of the Design Specification, taken in conjunction with the results of surveys and any necessary studies, detailed engineering calculations would be prepared together with sufficient general arrangement and detail drawings required to allow selected Contractors to submit concise tenders for each package of work. The project team would make use of our comprehensive in-house computer facilities for specialist design tasks and by means of our AutoCAD system for the production of almost all of the drawings. In addition to their own broad experience, the members of our Project Team would be able to call upon the specialized knowledge of experts within industry whenever required. The Consultant would also provide the Quality Management function ensuring both that the correct management and control functions are in place, and carry out key design checking procedures, which include the all important design reviews.

3.2

Technical Specifications

In conjunction with the preparation of detailed engineering design, full specification for materials and construction of the works and procurement of the plant will be provided, taking into account the latest thinking for the most efficient operation of a processing plant and for low maintenance. Emphasis will be placed on the use of practical materials and construction requirements including where possible the elimination of overly complex details to ensure easy maintenance and satisfactory durable structures suitable for the harsh environment.

3.3

Contract Documents for Tender Issue

On a contract by contract basis, these documents would generally comprise: • • • • • •

Tender Notice Instructions to tenderers Form or Forms of Contract, to be discussed and agreed with the Client taking into account Client specific requirements, project constraints, and international practice to include a reasonable allocation of responsibility between the contracting parties. Technical specifications, discussed above Any necessary schedules (e.g. of suppliers) Bills of Quantities

Client and site specific conditions would generally be dealt with under Part 2 of the General Conditions of Contract.

PREPARATION OF AN OIL PALM MILL PROJECT.

3.4

6

Tender Evaluation

The tender period would vary depending on the scale and complexity of the work. While there is always a desire to shorten tender periods in order to expedite the project, we would recommend the allowance of an adequate time to ensure that tenderer’s preparations are not rushed so that sufficient attention can be paid by them to the details of the work and the competitiveness of their bids. During the tender period members of our team would be available to answer tenderers queries and where appropriate, would undertake the issue of clarification notices to all tenderers. Upon receipt of tenders we would carry out a full evaluation and prepare a report for review by the Client. It is likely that this would take the form of a preliminary report on the tender submissions to be followed by meetings with those submitting preferred bids. The report would then be updated and include recommendations for the award of contract. In its final form the report would include: • • • •

A tender summary and breakdown of principal items for all tenderers More detailed price breakdown for the leading tender Notes of Meetings and Negotiations Comments on tenderers’ submissions and approach to the project

If alternative designs are submitted by tenderers these would be examined and assessed and, if necessary, discussed with the tenderer concerned. The final report would contain an assessment of such alternatives and recommendations as to whether or not this would be acceptable. The deliverables for Stage 3 would comprise initially a full set of tender documents for Client confirmation and, after receipt of final approval, a master set of tender documents for issue to all selected tenderers by the Client. The Consultant will provide assistance with the pre-selection of tenderers early on in Stage 3. In addition, the Client would receive detailed reports on the assessment of each of the tenders.

STAGE 4.

7

CONSTRUCTION STAGE, SITE SUPERVISION

The commencement of Stage 4 services would be dependant on written instructions form the Client to proceed. The activity and work components of the Stage 4 services would generally be as follows:-

4.1

Preparation of Contract Documents etc.

Upon confirmation of selection of Contractor by the Client we will prepare two sets of original contract documents including: • • • • • • • • • •

Form of tender Form of Contract Form of Bond Conditions of Contract Specifications Bills of Quantities/Summary of Prices as priced by the successful tenderer Schedule of Drawings Contract Drawings Technical Schedules Agreed notes of meetings, relevant correspondence and notices of clarification pertaining to the acceptance of the tender

These will be issued to the selected Contractor and then to the representative of the Client for signature and following this 3 certified copies would be prepared. The two originals will then be returned to the contract parties for retention. At the same time as the original contract documents are being prepared and processed, full sets of construction drawings, specifications and other documents will be prepared and issued to the Contractor.

4.2

Project Management Services

We would confirm that the nominated Project Manager, or equivalent alternative, is fully used to managing multi-disciplinary projects.

4.3

Pre-construction Meeting

We would hold a pre-construction meeting prior to the commencement of all the contracts. The purpose of this meeting would be to review with the successful Contractor the requirements of the Tender Documents to develop a list of information that he is required to provide as stipulated in the Tender Documents and to solicit from him, his programme of activities as required by the Tender Documents.

PREPARATION OF AN OIL PALM MILL PROJECT.

4.4

8

Review and Approve Contractor’s Programme

For each separate contract, the control programme submitted by the Contractor indicating his proposed timing and phasing of various operations will be reviewed. Following that review, advice will be given on any changes deemed necessary in the programme proposed by the Contractor. It is also necessary to monitor carefully the Contractor’s control programme to check his progress and compare actual progress with the programmed progress. From time to time as required by circumstances, the Contractor will be required to update his programme. The Client will be advised of any developments threatening the delay of completion and recommendations will be made on any actions necessary to facilitate timely completion. The construction programme must be prepared by the Contractors using CPM techniques and contain the key elements and timetables for the completion of his work. We will review the programmes and any subsequent changes deemed appropriate.

4.5

Establish Project Files, Prepare Monthly Reports and Attend Job Meetings.

Essential to any project is the establishment of a project filing system such that shop drawings, contract correspondence, daily reports, monthly reports, time schedules, etc., can be readily retrieved from files and utilized for the purpose of administering the Project. A computerised record file consistent with our needs as the Consultants and the Client is established. Monthly progress reports will be prepared for submission to the Client. These monthly progress reports will report on all phases of the work in all disciplines, on delivery schedules, on the development of programme updates, identify particular construction problems or quality control problems during the course of the month and will further include the degree of physical completion and expenditures under each contract. As the project construction proceeds actual costs may vary from the previously estimated costs due to changes in quantities of work and materials, or due to unforeseen circumstances. A close control over these costs and their affects on the overall project costs will be undertaken so that strict budgetary control is exercised. On a regular basis, formal progress meetings will be held with the Contractor. An agenda will be prepared with input from the Contractor and the Client.

We will prepare the final minutes of the meeting. It is important to the orderly progress of the job that progress-meeting minutes are maintained accurately.

Recommend Tests on Materials and Equipment

We propose that laboratory, shop, and mill tests on materials and equipment are incorporated in the Project. As appropriate, our sit e staff or representatives will observe the actual performance of such tests.

4.7

Review Test Reports and Witness Tests

At various points in the progress of the project it will be required by the Contract Documents that specific materials or equipment be tested and certificates be issued for their performance. The objective of such tests is to ensure that the Contractor complies with the requirements of the Contract Documents and that the materials and equipment meet the appropriate contract specifications. Where witness tests are required for specific pieces of equipment, we would be able to provide the necessary manpower to witness the tests as required by the Contract Documents. Under the provision of the Contract Documents, the Contractor will also be required to submit certification of materials testing and certified test results ensuing from such tests. This system will be monitored and such certificates and tests reports reviewed and approved and provided as historical records.

4.8

Review and Approval of Fabrication Drawings

The Contractor will be required to submit fabrication drawings for approval prior to construction and installation of specific materials and equipment items. These fabrication drawings will be reviewed in accordance with the procedures laid down in the Quantity Plan. It is also critical to the conduct of the Project that fabrication drawing review be expedited and that the Contractors’ submittals are as accurate as possible. Poor quality fabrication drawings frequently result in increases in engineering costs as well as frustrations to the Client. Detailed construction drawings, fabrication and erection drawings, charts, and any other related proposals required to be submitted by the Contractor, will also be checked for adequacy and compliance with the terms and conditions of the Contract Documents. Comments concerning required revision of the Contractor’s submittals will be prepared in writing for approval of the Client prior to presentation to the Contractor. Copies of Contractor’s submittals, comments and the finally accepted documents will be maintained in permanent files until completion and final acceptance of all construction undertaken by each Contractor.

10

Archiving will then be carried out in accordance with the Quality Plan with the transfer of appropriate document records to the Client as agreed.

4.9

Prepare Diaries and Records

During the execution of the work, we will prepare detailed daily diaries and records concerning the work, site, ground and weather conditions, material quantities delivered to the job sites, and related information. Copies of such records will be provided to the client upon request. These diaries and records are invaluable in cases of later disputes with Contractors and possible arbitration or legal action.

4.10

Evaluation of Extra Payment Claims

Contractors or suppliers may make claims from time to time for extra payment. Any such simple claims will be reviewed and evaluated impartially and professionally by the site staff and recommendations made to the client with respect to the admissibility of a claim. Where a claim is considered allowable and approved by the client, a variation order will be initiated for the client approval.

4.11

Variation Orde rs

Throughout the progress of the Project, certain changes by virtue of site conditions may be required. Changes may be required to plans and / or specifications due to site conditions being at variance with those assumed during design. We are obliged to advise the Client of any such changes and variation orders deemed necessary. When such conditions arise we will prepare the appropriate variation orders with the backup information and explanation as to the need and reason and submit it to the client for approval. Each variation order will accompanied by an analysis concerning the appropriate amount by which payments to the Contractor are to be increased or decreased as a result of the changes to the work included in the variation order.

4.12

Contractor’s Progress Payment

Progress payments by the Client will be made to the Contractor on a schedule basis throughout the job, based on payment certificates, which we will issue as Engineer. We will maintain records sufficient to review and check the progress payment request in detail. Monthly project photographic records will also be required, as these are often a substantial aid in identifying project conditions and degree of project completion.

PREPARATION OF AN OIL PALM MILL PROJECT.

4.13

11

Final Inspection

After the contracts are virtually completed, we will undertake final inspection during the period of each contract and advise the Contractor of any additional work required. On completion of the remedial work, we will issue a final certificate for each contract.

4.14

Supervise Commissioning and Handing Over

We will provide qualified personnel to supervise and monitor all required final tests and commissioning to be performed by the Contractor and to make appropriate recommendations. The relevant Government agencies and Authorities shall be notified in advance by the Contractor for final inspection and approval by such authorities. Supervision of the no load trial run of the plant and ancillary shall be carried out by the Consultant after which the Client will be notified to arrange for raw material for process to be delivered to the plant. A pre-commissioning meeting shall be conducted between the Contractor, Plant Manager, Supervisors, key personnel and Consultant on the procedure, safety requirements and expectations. It is suggested that the operators and / or other selected personnel of the Client, who will later be responsible for the operations of the new plant, should be in attendance during the final acceptance testing. This approach will familiarize those operators with the new systems. Following completion of the final tests and commissioning, a final report will be submitted to the Client.

4.15

As-Built Drawings and Documents

During the course of construction a record set of the contract drawings for each contract will be maintained and marked up by the Contractor and agreed by the Resident Engineer to show ‘as built’ work. This is particularly important where approved changes may have been made to the contract drawings so that their true location in the field is properly recorded. On completion of the construction contracts, the ‘as-built’ modifications will be recorded on a master set of reproducible AutoCAD drawings (reduced and full size) and 3 ½ inch diskettes which will be supplied by the Contrac tor and submitted to the Client as a permanent record of the asconstructed works. The appropriate specification, vendor’s data, spare parts lists and similar aspects will accompany the ‘as built’ drawings.

PREPARATION OF AN OIL PALM MILL PROJECT.

4.16

12

Operation and Maintenance Manuals and Training

All suppliers of machinery and equipment will be contractually bound to provide Manuals of Instructions to facilitate satisfactory operation and maintenance of mechanical and electrical and other equipment. The manuals will be compiled by the Contractor into bound documents, each of which explains the operational and maintenance programmes for each piece of equipment installed. The Client will then have easy reference to the methodology and requirements for operating and maintaining the equipment under their supervision. The Consultant shall advise and assist the Client in the recruitment of personnel. The on-site commissioning engineer will provide operation of machinery and plant, quality control and maintenance schedules, and prior and during the commissioning period short courses and training of personnel on the process systems.

4.17

End of Maintenance Period

A final inspection of the works will be carried out at the end of the maintenance period; corrective action list(s) will be prepared and submitted to the Contractor. The final completion certificate will be issued a completion of defect rectification.

4.18

WORK PROGRAMME

Stage 1 : Site Selection and Feasibility Study work is the starting point from which clear project definition emerges, it is appropriate at this very early stage of the Project to concentrate only on the work required to achieve completion of Stage 1. The Site Selection and Feasibility Study should be completed in final draft form within 6 weeks from the commencement of the initial site selection visit.

Salient notes of the size of plantation with the corresponding basic data and project cost of Oil Palm Mills are enclosed.

02. METHODOLOGY.

OVERALL APPROACH, based on our experience, we anticipate that the turnkey project work will be divided into 3 main stages and later, further sub-divided in accordance with the yet-to-bedetermined Phases of development.

We recommend that these work stages be as follows:Stage 1

:

Initial assessment of the proposed sites and preparation of a project site report that will include the compilation of additional information regarding soil conditions, survey and logistics data, earth works, local material and cost estimates, required for the preparation of the basic design by the turnkey contractor for submission by the client to and approval of the Authorities.

Stage 2

:

Detailed Engineering Design, Specifications and Drawings for client’s consideration and approval, the submission of the final turnkey contract price, the purchase of proprietary equipment, the manufacture and fabrication works and delivery to site.

Stage 3

:

Supervision at Site for construction, erection, commissioning, training of process operators and handing over project for commercial production.

The basic design, project requirements and schedule will be established with the Client in the very early stages of the project. We have always considered several factors as being extremely important in our design concept.



Maintenance and Operation.

This is a very important point to consider in the design concept. It depends very much on the level of the operation and maintenance staff that can be expected to operate and maintain the plant and availability of spare parts.

Extraction Efficiency and Performance.

The extraction efficiency is a factor, which must be taken into consideration at all times during the design stage that will take into account an efficient plant in terms of extraction rate, throughput and operation cost.



Flexibility of Design.

Flexibility of the design is equally important factor to be considered although sometimes it means additional cost. In some cases, it may be necessary so that the plant can be operated even under adverse conditions. However in this respect, we would consult the Client to seek agreement.

PALM KERNEL OIL EXTRACTION PROCESS.

The Oil Palm Industry offers advantage of its resource base and to optimize its profit centres. One such profit centre is the Palm Kernel Oil extraction milling process.

Extraction of oil from palm kernel can be processed in three basic processes. 1. Mechanical pressing of palm kernel in high-pressure expeller screw presses are common for capacities between 10 mt PK to 300 mt per day. 2. Direct extraction after suitable preparation of the palm kernel in a solvent extraction plant should be considered for capacities above 300 Mt PK per day. 3. A combination of the above two basic systems whereby the palm kernel after suitable preparation is processed in a pre-pressed to extract 75% of the oil at a comparatively low barrel pressure in the press. The pre-press meal is treated in a solvent extraction plant to remove 23% of the oil with a high total yield of 98% of the total oil input raw material. The direct solvent extraction system is more efficient in terms of extraction yields and operating cost per ton process material, among the three systems for palm kernel oil extraction. Mechanical pressing can be carried out in single or double pressing system. Single pressing has certain drawbacks as to double pressing, as enumerated below : (a) The major portion of the oil ( 80%) will be extracted at the pre-pressing and as the cone pressures are kept low, the oil temperature will not exceed above 80 deg. C resulting in a better grade of oil in terms of FFA and PV increase during the extraction process.. (b) Extraction at lower temperature will reduce the electrical load, the amount of solid matter ( call foots ) discharged with oil that would result in better utilisation and life of the vibrating screen, oil pumps and filter press. (c) Thus, the system selected would intrinsically prolong and life of wear parts that would reduce the operating cost of the complete plant. (d) The 2nd pressing or finish press and associated conveying elements is better utilised because less fines ( foots ) are being recycled with possible excess than rated capacity of machinery and plant.

PALM KERNEL OIL MILL

5

(e) The finish press will extract the balance of the extractable oil ( say 20% ) from the prepress meal at a cone pressure as high as for a single pressing system but as the quantity is only 60% of the input raw material, therefore the cooling of the press shaft and barrel with water or oil is not required in turn would eliminate the use of heat exchangers and cooling equipment. (f) Deterioration in oil quality is eliminated by not using the extracted oil which is cooled and sprayed on the barrel to lower the temperature of the fresh extracted oil. Design features of double pressing system, which is common in Palm Kernel Mills in Malaysia, take into consideration the following :



Easy and lower maintenance.



Longer life of wear parts.



Higher yield of palm kernel oil and cake.



Eliminate or reduce the cost of utilities, such as steam and cooling water.



Lower investment cost.

The “double pressing system “ eliminates expensive preparation equipment such as roller mills, flakers and cookers. Take one more variable that if inadvertently the mill is not kept at peak efficiency would ruin the quality of the final products and loss of process capacity that could cause considerable embarrassment if not also monetary loss to the company.

PALM KERNEL OIL MILL

THE PROCESS DESCRIPTION. The general arrangement of the Palm Kernel Oil expeller extraction mill is relatively simple and can be followed by process flow schematic enclosed. Process lines are made up of a raw material reception area, two rows of expeller presses, each Press with a capacity of 10 mt palm kernel per day ( 24 hours ) and an oil clarification station, housed in a steel structure main process building. The appurtenance consists of the raw material and finished produces storage facilities.

Reception. Palm Kernel with 7% moisture and 5% dirt content are conveyed directly from the kernel silos of the palm oil mill or delivered in bulk or bags from outside source and unloaded in the reception area after being weight and stored in PK storage hoppers by conveyors. Each hopper can hold approximately 100mt palm kernel or provided with larger size silos in accordance to the design capacity of the plant. The raw material of palm kernel are evacuated by screw conveyors at the bottom of the loading storage hopper and thereafter the material is transferred to the milling section of the process. The receiving conveyor is fitted with permanent magnet for the removal of tramp iron, transports the PK into the pre-press buffer bins mounted on a steel structure of the main process building.

Pre-Pressing section. Palm Kernel or PK for short is fed into the pre-press, each with capacity of 10 mt PK per day (24 hours ) via a chute fitted with slide valve or feed screw provided for presses with such an arrangement. The pre-press cake or meal discharged is conveyed and fed into the silos of final press line, whilst the crude oil extracted ( approx. 80% of total oil ) flows into the screw conveying gutter and to the oil clarification section for further process.

Finish Press section. The pre-press material with an oil content of less than 20% is fed into the finish presses extruding two products, oil and meal. The meal as “finished product” is corrected with a moisture content of 10% and conveyed to the PK meal bulk storage silos or bagging area.

6

PALM KERNEL OIL MILL

Crude Oil section. The crude oil from the oil gutter flows onto the vibrating screen for removal of foots and stored in the head tank which feeds the filter press. Foots collected from the circular vibrating screen an filter press are recycled back to the finished press for the removal of residual oil in solid matter. The filtered oil is fed into the Vacuum dryer for the removal of moisture content and discharge into the security filter, filled with citric acid where by dosing of the finish oil to minimised the chance of oxidation and to enhance the stability of the PALM KERNEL PRODUCT.

Storage of Products. The clean and dry kernel oil with a moisture content of 0.09% is conveyed by stainless steel canpumps to the oil storage tank or filled into steel drums for delivery to BUYER.

AN INTRODUCTION TO REFINING PROCESS FOR PALM OIL AND OTHER DOWNSTREAM PROCESSES. By Noel Wambeck 20th September 1997.

Introduction. Edible oils and fats have traditionally been refined by the process of neutralising the fatty acid with a base such as caustic soda or alkali refining plant. The disadvantages of such a process are the high cost of chemicals and the problem of soapstock, which requires expensive effluent treatment. Further, the percentage of oil loss and operational cost of production are advantages in favour of Physical refining process. Palm oil can be subjected advantageously to physical refining and dry fractionation processes to produce more diversified products at competitive prices.

Our view on the general approach to a Palm Oil refining project for palm oil and other downstream process whiles taking into consideration that the finished products will be bottled, packed and marketed to consumers in a competitive market will require careful planning and selection of the right process design and component equipment to process various qualities palm oil to produce the highest quality finish products to sustain a long self life. The process systems discussed in this paper, are as follows :

§ § § §

Pre- treatment and wet de-gumming process. Continuous Bleaching plant. Steam Refining cum Deodorization system. Dry Fractionation system.

The aim is to produce refined produces of high quality in terms of oil colour, odorless, blend taste, stability for long shelf life at a reasonable cost of production. Basic features required producing high quality products from crude palm oil and palm kernel oil. Basic features required to produce high quality products are as follows : It is well accepted that impurities and phospholipids that are present in the crude palm oil plays a great part in the stability of the refined product. Therefore it is impertinent that this impurity be removed to an absolute minimum in the pretreatment stage or de-gumming process. Although the dry pretreatment can handle the de-gumming process but the wet de -gumming offer a more reliable pretreatment process of lesser quality feed crude palm oil. To do this the crude oil needs to undergo treatment with the resultant gums washed out with diluted phosphoric acid in hot water and than separated through centrifuge. The pretreated oil is to be dried before the bleaching process under suitable temperature, retention period and vacuum conditions. A feature at the bleaching stage is to allow quick changeover of feed stock and complete drainage and having minimum chance of contamination. It is an established fact that steam refiner cum deodorizer process or “ Physical refining process combined with the wet de-gumming and continuous bleaching process“ will produce a better quality product where the feed material is heated and cooled down in the same column under similar vacuum condition and proper retention time in the refining process will produce a refined product of a reasonable high quality and stability. Dry fractionation process also known, as “winterisation process” has become a common feature in modern refineries with the introduction of the membrane filter press resulting in yields and quality better than the detergent process. Manufactured fat products are generally foreseen as a requirement to ensure that freshly refined oils are available as feed stock, which is also economical for such integration. Ideally, the plant is to be equipped with a suitable control system to reduce the use of manpower on its operation. Among the control systems, the distributed and monitoring computerized control system seems appropriate for such a plant.

A CONCEPTIONAL PROPOSAL FOR A PALM OIL REFINERY PROJECT This proposal in brief, aims to provide guidance to those who may be involved in or a new comer to the identification and preparation of a palm oil refinery complex project. Our understanding is that the management have made the decision to invest in the expansion of their manufacturing activities after having prepared a thorough project study or business plan for a target market but require clarification on the advantages of the Palm Oil Refinery complex. Our view on the general technical approach to the project, will require careful planning and selection of project site, the right process design, equipment component and system to process various quantities, added values palm oil products to sustain a long self life, that is in demand by the buyer. Arguments for its economic viability, marketing requirements and corporate strategy are not address in this paper. The proposed project for the time being is restricted to the integration of : A 500 mt per day (24 hours) physical refinery and 400 mt per day (24 hours) Fractionation Plant to process crude palm oil (CPO) with the option of Palm Kernel oil as raw material for process. The matching of the oil palm mill capacity with the refinery is of equal importance to the availability of the raw material for process when considering the integration. The project business plan should have scope and potential to diversify and expand in the area of production of various down stream palm oil based products.

1. The Products. The proposed physical refinery and fractionation complex shall produce basic product mix, as follows: Palm Oil based : Refined, Bleached and deodorized Palm Oil. Crude Palm Olien Crude Palm Stearin RBD Olien RBD Stearin High purity FAD Palm Kernel Based : Refined, Bleached and deodorized Palm Kernel Oil. Crude Palm Kernel Olien Crude Palm Kernel Stearin RBD PK Olien RBD PK Stearin High purity FAD

2. The Advantages for Project Integration. An integrated processing complex offers several advantages including the following : & Reduce cost in Management, administration, communication, maintenance and labour & Reduce capital cost with common buildings to house the above. & Reduce capital cost of plant and equipment, such as effluent treatment system, cooling

system and steam generators. & No cost of transportation and insurance premium between processes. & Security monitoring requirements.

The selection of a suitable processing complex site is an important exercise as it has direct effects on the capital cost and long-term operation requirements.

3. Factors to consider for Integration. The refinery complex should have incorporated in the initial design of the plant adequate facilities for:

• Suitable space to house the refinery, fractionation plant, infrastructure, tank farm and appurtenances.

• The proposed plant shall be designed with consideration for and incorporation of the latest technology available in the industry.

• The equipment, plant and process systems will be design for high efficiency, quality and yields.

• Consideration and the incorporation of safety aspects that comply with Occupational Safety and health act, such as to provide for good ventilation, working space, dust free and noise levels within permissible limits.

• Consideration and the incorporation operating procedures, equipment, plant and process systems to meet the ecological, hygienic and cleanliness of the plant on par with good food manufacturing industrial plants standards.

• The plant and process shall be environmentally friendly and that the environment Control act requirements will be addressed in accordance to the standards prescribed.

• The plant will be designed for cost effectiveness for operation and maintenance.

The proposed design of the complex will give a reliable, easy to operate with the best up-todate performances for maximum efficiency with minimum product losses and quality products. However, we must understand that each project, operation and commercial consideration will defer in the actual implementation of the design for processing needs to meet the changing requirements and conditions of management priority.

5. Selection of Process System. Edible oils and fats have traditionally been refined by the process of neutralising the fatty acid with a base such as caustic soda or alkali refining plant. The disadvantages of such a process are the high cost of chemicals, the percentage of oil loss and the problem of soap stock, which requires expensive treatment are advantages in favor of Physical refining process. It was in the early eighties that palm oil could be subjected advantageously to physical refining and dry fractionation processes to produce more diversified products at competitive prices. The search for new markets for its products and the rapid development in the industry, found demand of other down stream production of palm oil mid fractions, cocoa butter equivalent, hydrogenated oils, etc. The most complimentary extension can be in the area of valuable Red Palm Oil containing Tocopherols (VitaminE) and derivatives with high yielding carotenoids and tocopherols. It fulfills a vital role as a means of control on product cost without any loss of properties and loss of performance in the product. However, the refinery plant with the molecular distillation process required to produce such value added products is deferred from the conventional physical refinery process and should not be compared in terms of process utilization to produce a range of marketable products, operation requirements and cost of investment. Therefore the rational and final selection of process system will depend on the result of the project study or business plan target market which dictate the products to be produced for marketing economics and should not be based on the products that can be produced by the process system. The manufacturer is usually also the marketing organizer. Marketing is the first consideration; to manufacture is a tool of the marketing organization. The superior quality of Crude Palm Oil and its derivatives produced in the integrated process are the marketing organization assurance for the future of its products.

Crude oil is preheated and acid treated, allowing for sufficient holding time and washed with hot water. The gummy matter precipitates and preheated oil is separated through a self-flushing centrifuge. The pretreated oil is to be dried before undergoing the bleaching process under regulated temperature and vacuum conditions. Bleaching clay is dosed and mixed with pretreated oil in the reaction vessel. Sufficient retention period is to be allowed for maximum and stabilizing effects. The slurry is than filtered through one of the two alternative working Pressure leaf filters. The partly bleached oil is than filled into intermediate holding tank before being processed further at the Steam refiner. The bleached oil is dried before being fed into the refining column. In the column the oil is heated up to a low distillation temperature with the distillation and deodorization effects being enhanced by injecting stripping steam. Some heat economizing is carried out within the steam refiner. The distillation and deodorization of the oil is to be well defined in terms of homogeneous retention time while retaining the endogenous carotene and vitamin E in the Red Palm Oil being process. The refined product is cooled to storage temperature using heat exchangers internally after which ant-oxidants treatment of the product is an essential part of the process to prevent oxidation and to enhance its stability. Free fatty acid vapours omitted during the distillation and deodorization stage in the steam refiner is condensed and scrubbed through a highly efficient vapour scrubber,resulting in clean steam vapour being removed through the ejector vacuum system. The cooled refined oil is stored in the storage tank or transferred to the Fractionation process or to the bottling and packing before the delivery to buyer.

Generally, RBD palm oil is seeded, ( crude palm oil can also be used ) preheated before being filled into one of several units of the crystallization tanks. On reaching the required volume, the filling is cut off automatically and the crysatallization process is activated with the programme required. Upon completion of the crystallization cycle with well defined and uniformed crystal formation, the slurry is filtered through the Florentine belt filter press and or membrane filter press. Crystallization slurry is filtered through each filtration cycle after which the press will be inflated with air automatically to squeeze and to released any remaining liquid oil from the solid stearine cake. The hydraulic system of the press will operate automatically upon reaching the required preset pressure the filter elements will open to discharge the solid stearine cake. the cake would drop into the stearine melting tank directly below the filter press and after which the melting stearine will be transferred to the cooler for storage in the air-conditioning storage area or the stearine could be used as a building block for other downstream processes. The liquid fraction of Olein is transferred to the storage tank pending delivery to customer.  Sept 1999 Noel Wambeck.

GUIDELINES AND CHECKLIST ON QUALITY FOR THE EXPORT OF MALAYSIAN PALM OIL.

INTRODUCTION. The objective of this document is to provide the guidelines and checklist for promoting quality awareness among the exporters or suppliers of Malaysian palm oil. It will outline all the necessary actions and precautions to be taken in assuring that the quality of palm oil products meets the quality specifications specified in their contract of sales at the point of export. Quality assurance can be defined as `controlling the process to produce a product free of defects'. Instead of relying entirely on inspection to assure product quality by rejecting defects, inspection is focused on the process itself that can provide feedback so that the process can be improved and perfected, thereby ensuring quality product. The role of Palm Oil Registration and Licensing Authority (PORLA) is to conduct inspection programmes on the quality of oil palm products at their strategic points of processing and of the trade including at ports of export to ensure the users that only oil palm products with the appropriate quality delivered. PORLA undertakes quality control activities starting from the stage of planting materials right to the final point of export of palm oil products. The quality of palm oil products may suffer most damage at certain stages of processing, handling and transportation, the inspection programmes are designed in such a way that PORLA's Inspectors are present to conduct quality inspections at the critical point of processing, handling and transportation. PORLA'S ROLE IN QUALITY ASSURANCE PORLA's function in promoting and regulating quality practices in the palm oil industry is stipulated in its Act :-• • • •

to regulate and improve the manner of storing and shipping of oil palm products; to promote efficient handling of oil palm products; to promote measures toward attaining a high quality for oil palm products including the laying down of standards and the establishment of an efficient grading system; and generally to do everything for the betterment and proper conduct of the palm oil industry.

This Act also empowers PORLA to discharge the above function through the following means:-• • •

registration and licensing of persons in respect of all activities within the scope of functions of the Authority; provide standard practices to be observed or avoided in the palm oil industry; and specify and define the standards and grades of oil palm product and make provisions for giving effect to such standards and grades, including provisions for or relating to labelling; and prescribe records to be kept and returns to be submitted by licensees.

The Palm Oil Industry (Licensing) Regulations (Amendments) 1984 provides that any persons who move, sell, purchase, broker, export, import, store, survey or test any oil palm product must be licensed. . In issuing the license, PORLA imposes conditions and restrictions to regulate the trade and to promote quality practices to ensure the products or services rendered is of the highest quality.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES IN THE EXPORT CHAIN. Palm oil proceeds through a series of parties namely producers or suppliers, traders and exporters before reaching the point of export. These parties may either be separate individuals or one individual who perform all the roles or part of it. Supplementing the export chain is the service sector namely bulk installation operators, independent surveyors and independent chemist. While installations provide bulking, handling and storage facilities at the export point; independent surveyor and chemist provide independent inspection and certification of product to determine the quantity, quality, loading superintendent and confirmation required in a commercial transaction.

PORLA GUIDELINES.

The parties in the chain of export are legally bound to perform their contractual commitment to one another unequivocally and efficiently. It is PORLA's policy to ensure that the palm oil products for export meet the buyer's requirements and reasonable expectations. If the chain of obligations and responsibilities are broken or abused by the parties concerned, it will lead to losses, disputes, arbitration or litigation and ultimately causes damage to the smooth trading of oil palm products. RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PRODUCER/ SUPPLIER Producers adopt proper harvesting practices so that only ripe palm fruits are harvested and delivered to the palm oil mills. The mills will inspect the quality of the raw materials (Fresh Fruit Bunch) using the " PORLA's Fresh Fruit Bunch Grading Manual" The fruits are processed with good care and efficienly so as not to damage the quality of oil during the process of extraction. It is the responsibility of the producer/supplier to ensure :-• • • • •

RESPONSIBILITY OF PORLA PORT STATIONS. PORLA Inspectors are based in five Regional Offices and Branch offices throughout the country to conduct periodic spot inspection on licensed premises within the respective regions. In addition, Port Stations equipped with labarotaries are set up at five major Malaysian ports to ensure that oil palm products exported stringently meet the buyers' specifications. The activities undertaken by PORLA's port stations are : • • • • • • •

to regularly conduct sampling of palm oil products at the port installations before they are exported. to take and test pre-shipment samples in PORLA laboratories located at the port stations so as to ensure that only quality palm oil products that meet contractual specifications before they are allowed to be exported. to advise exporters whose products fail to meet the contractual specifications to undertake immediate remedial actions to ensure that their products meet the contractual specifications before export to take random samples during loading (into vessels) for the purpose of enforcement of quality control declaration under Regulation 3 of PORLA Quality Control Regulations. to send samples taken to the laboratories and Chemistry Department for analysis so as to determine whether the quality conforms to the contractual specifications as declared in the Customs Declaration Form to monitor the analysis reports from the Chemistry Department in order to determine the monthly average quality and also to detect palm oil quality problems faced the industry generally to ensure that the handling, transferring, storing, transporting, surveying and shipping practices are always in accordance with the required quality practices.

ENFORCEMENT OF QUALITY CONTROL PRACTICES Regulation and Monitoring Given the legislation and the tools to implement them, it is therefore imperative for PORLA ensure that practices towards producing good quality oil palm products are promoted and good quality control activities are observed in all sectors of the industry. PORLA enforces the Palm Oil Industry Quality Control Regulations of 1983 that provide for quality control practices of oil palm products in the local trade and export: • • •

It prohibits the act of contamination of any oil palm product with any undesirable matter or any foreign matter detrimental to the quality of the oil palm product. In the case of export, the regulations provide that all exporters must declare the contractual quality specifications in the Custom Declaration Form From the monthly quality statement QC/MF/1 sent to PORLA, analysis is then made to identify mills that are producing poor quality crude palm oil.

Mills identified of this nature is given reminders to enhance their quality control process so that their products meet the stringent standards as required by the trade. •

• • •

PORLA palm oil inspectors conduct follow-up visits to the mills to check their quality records of production and take samples of the crude palm oil for quality verification as required under the Quality Control Regulation of 1983. Mills that fail to take corrective actions and instead, continue to produce crude palm oil not conforming to stringent standard trade specifications are taken stern action against . PORLA palm oil inspectors at the various regional levels also actively monitor the activity of sludge oil traders to ensure that they do not indulge in unhealthy practices of adulterating palm oil with sludge oil. Road blocks are regularly carried out by PORLA to check on palm oil tankers. During the check, the hatch covers and outlet valves and the seals are inspected. The PORLA Form PL3 as required under PORLA licensing regulations for such movements is also inspected. Regular surveillance is also conducted to identify, locate and ambush illegal storage premises used for unauthorized siphoning of palm oil from lorry tankers. Illegal storage premises were raided and disabled. Palm oil together with the equipment and facilities used in their operations were seized by PORLA.

PORLA GUIDELINES.

Monitoring of the Professional Services Inspection of Surveyors • • •

PORLA's inspectors regularly check on surveyors to ensure that the records and documentation of survey carried out are properly maintained and the reports issued fulfill the contractual requirements of the buyers/sellers. The monthly statement QC/SV/1 submitted to PORLA on the quality and quantity of palm oil products exported is also verified. PORLA's inspectors at the various port stations also observe / check on the surveyors at time of actual survey, so as ensure that they strictly follow the requirements stipulated by PORLA.

Inspection of Palm Oil Installations At The Ports •



checking the condition of facilities and the handling and storage activities. i.e. physical inspection of tanks and tank coatings The heating coils, pipelines and pumps are checked so that they are in proper working conditions and that they do not consist of any material made of copper or copper alloy which is detrimental to the quality of palm oil exported. check the records of oil temperature in the tanks so as to ensure that proper heating procedures are strictly applied during and prior to discharge of the oil from the tanks.

Inspection of Laboratories • • • •

the checking of reports of analysis issued for palm oil products. The monthly quality statement QC/CL/1 as submitted to PORLA is also verified for its accuracy. Collaborative test on methods of testing has been organized jointly with PORIM and FOSFA with the purpose of achieving consistency in the various test methods employed. licensees found not practicing quality practice in their activities or not conforming to the recommended quality practices are advised to do so. Those found to have contravened any conditions or restrictions of the licensing regulation are given reminders and warnings, compounded or prosecuted in court.

IMPLEMENTATION OF QUALITY CONTROL PROGRAMMES Ship/ Shore Surveyors Course The has been held since 1987. PORLA, in co-operation with PORIM conducts the Ship-Shore Surveyors Course annually with the objective of not only enhancing the efficiency and quality of palm oil surveying, but also promoting knowledge on the handling, transfer, storage and transportation of palm oil. Malaysian Palm Oil Surveyors Examination PORLA holds the Malaysian Palm Oil Surveyors Examination that is intended to enhance the professionalism of Malaysian palm oil surveyors. It is aimed at getting palm oil surveyors to be thoroughly knowledgeable in both palm oil survey practices as well as understanding the physical and chemical characteristics of all oil palm products. Recommended Practices For Surveying Of Oil Palm Products PORLA has established stringent surveying procedures to ensure that surveying of oil palm products, is carried out systematically and efficiently. This standard procedure covers surveying practices during loading and discharge both at the installation and ship as well as documentation of the survey. The standards provide a yardstick to measure the quality performance of the surveyors and to ensure that reports issued by them are supported by recorded facts obtained during surveying.

PORLA GUIDELINES.

PORLA FRESH FRUIT BUNCH GRADING MANUAL

INTRODUCTION This manual serves as a practical guide for the grading of fresh fruit bunch in the mills jointly prepared by a working committee which comprised of representatives from the palm oil industry and was based on a study carried out by PORLA on mills throughout Malaysia which practised fresh fruit bunch grading. OBJECTIVE The main aim of this manual is to improve the quality and quantity of crude palm oil and palm kernel productions in Malaysia. The specific objectives are as follow: • • • •

To improve the quality of fresh fruit bunch (FFB) received at the mills. To improve the quality of Malaysian crude palm oil. To improve the efficiency of oil and kernel extraction rates in the mills. To ensure that the suppliers and millers obtain a fair deal from their transactions.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE GRADING SCHEME Site of Grading Grading can be done anywhere inside the premises of the mill or its agent. Normally, it is best done on a platform beside the loading ramp. Who Can Perform The Grading Grading can only be done by the Grading Staff of the mills or an agent appointed by the mill who has the capability and experience in the grading of fresh fruit bunch (FFB). Documents Required Documents that are required for grading are the Grading Report Form (APPENDIX Xll), weighbridge ticket and suppliers agreement documents (if any). Only fruits received from suppliers with a valid PORLA license are to be graded.

GRADING PROCEDURES Sampling Procedures Select about 50-100 bunches at random as sample from each consignment to be graded. The sample taken should represent the top, middle and bottom portion of the consignment.

The minimum sample size of each consignment to be graded should be determined based on the following criteria :

FFB GRADING MANUAL

2

• of the net weight of the consignment is less than 5 tonnes, the minimum sample size should be 50 bunches. • If the net weight of the consignment is 5 tonnes or more, the minimum sample size should be 100 bunches. The sample size should be economical, practical and able to detect any change in the bunch quality especially the degree of ripeness at 95% level of confidence. Separate the bunches that have been sampled for grading from the rest of the bunches. Grading Frequency The minimum grading frequency for each supplier of fresh fruit bunch (FFB) with long term contract should not be less than 10% of the total consignments or at a ratio of 1:10 lorries. If there is variation in the quality of fresh fruit bunches supplied or doubts regarding the bunch quality, the grading frequency should be increased to fifty percent (50%) of the total consignments or at a ratio of 1:2 lorries. For suppliers without a long term contract, grading should be done on all consignments. Bunch Classifications Fresh fruit bunch (FFB) can be classified and graded according to the following criteria: • Ripe Bunch Ripe bunch is a bunch which has reddish orange colour and the outer layer fruitlet's mesocarp is orange in colour. This bunch has at least 10 fresh sockets of detached fruitlets and more than fifty percent (50%) of the fruits still attached to the bunch at the time of inspection at the mill. The bunch and the loose fruits are to be sent to the mill within 24 hours after harvesting. • Underripe Bunch Underripe bunch is a bunch which has reddish orange or purplish red colour and the outer layer fruit's mesocarp is yellowish orange in colour. This bunch has less than 10 fresh sockets of detached fruitlets at the time of inspection at the mill. The bunch and the loose fruits are to be sent to the mill within 24 hours after harvesting.

• Unripe Bunch Unripe bunch is a bunch which has black or purplish black fruits and the outer layer fruit's mesocarp is

yellowish in colour. This bunch does not have any fresh sockets of detached fruitlets at the time of inspection at the mill. The sockets(if any) on the bunch is not due to normal ripening process. • Overripe Bunch Overripe bunch is a bunch which has darkish red colour fruits and has more than fifty percent (50%) of detached fruitlets but with at least ten percent (10%) of the fruits still attached to the bunch at the time

FFB GRADING MANUAL

of inspection at the mill. The bunch and the loose fruits are to be sent to the mills within 24 hours after harvesting. • Empty Bunch Empty bunch is a bunch which has more than ninety percent (90%) of detached fruitlets at the time of inspection at the mill. • Rotten Bunch Rotten bunch is a bunch partly or wholly and together with its loose fruits have turned blackish in colour, rotten and mouldy. • Long Stalk Bunch Long stalk bunch is a bunch which has a stalk of more than 5 cm in length (measured from the lowest level of the bunch stalk). • Unfresh Unfresh bunch is a bunch which has been harvested and left at the field for more than 48 hours before being sent to the mill. The whole fruit or part of it together with its stalk has dried out. Normally, this type of bunch is dry and blackish in colour. • Old Bunch Old bunch is a bunch which has been harvested and left at the field for more than 7 days before being sent to the mill. The fruitlets still remaining on the bunch are dry and brownish black in colour. The stalk is also dry, soft, fibrous and blackish in colour. • Dirty Bunch Dirty bunch is a bunch with more than half of its surface covered with mud, sand, other dirt particles and mixed with stone or other foreign matters. • Small Bunch Small bunch is a bunch which has small fruits and weight less than 2.3 kg. (5 lbs.) • Pest Damaged Bunch Pest damaged bunch is a bunch with more than thirty percent (30%) of its fruits damaged by pest attack such as rat etc.

FFB GRADING MANUAL

• Diseased Bunch Diseased bunch is a bunch which has more than fifty percent (50%) parthenocarpic fruits and is not normal in terms of its size or its density. • Dura Bunch Dura bunch has fruits with the following characteristics: • Shell thickness - 2-8 mm • Ratio of shell to fruit - 25-50% • Ratio of mesocarp to fruit - 20-60% • Ratio of kernel to fruit - 4-20% • No fibre ring around the shell • Loose Fruit Loose fruit is a fruit detached from a fresh bunch because of ripeness and is reddish orange in colour. All loose fruits have to be sent to the mill within 24 hours after harvesting. • Wet Bunch Wet bunch refers to a consignment of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) which has excessive free water.

GRADING METHODS The sample that has been selected will be graded to determine the quality of the bunches and the extraction rate that can be given to the supplier. During grading the following practices should be carried out: • • • • •

Inspection and assessment of the bunch quality. Calculation of penalty for poor quality bunch. Determination of the basic extraction rate. Calculation of the awarded extraction rate. Inspection And Assessment of the Bunch Quality

The grading of the consignment of fresh fruit bunches should be done in the presence of the supplier or his representative such as the lorry driver or his attendant. The lorry with the consignment of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) which has been selected to be graded is directed to unload on the platform near the loading ramp. Ensure that the bunches are evenly laid out and no overlapping or layering should occur. Count the number of bunches in the consignment and calculate the average bunch weight with the following formula:

Average Bunch............Net Weight (kg) as per Weight.....................= Weighbridge .................................=================. ..................................Total Number of Bunches From these bunches, select at random 50-100 sample bunches and separate them from the rest of the bunches. Selection of the minimum sample size should be based on the net weight of the consignment. Grade, classify and count the sampled bunches into 5 groups based on the criteria of bunch classifications: • • • • •

Ripe Bunch Underripe Bunch Unripe Bunch Empty Bunch Rotten Bunch

Inspection and assessment of the bunch quality should be done quantitatively. Record the number and the percentage of each group in the Grading Report Form as shown in APPENDIX. The total percentages of the 5 groups must be hundred percent (100%).

Grade, classify anf count agein all the sampled bunches into 5 groups as follows :• • • • •

Long Stalk Bunch Dirty Bunch Dura Bunch Old Bunch Wet Bunch

The grading should be based on the criteria of bunch classifications. Record the number and percentage of each group in the Grading Report Form as shown in APPENDIX Xll. The percentages of the 3 groups of bunch quality are calculated based on the total number of sampled bunches. • Calculation of Penalty For Poor Quality Bunch A penalty based on the discount system as shown in APPENDICES III to XI, will be imposed on the poor quality bunches. The penalty imposed will depend on the results of the grading as stated in the Grading Report Form. Check these results with the Penalty Appendices (APPENDIX III - APPENDIX XI) and from there get the actual penalty value that can be imposed on each category of poor quality bunches. Book for reference :Refer to Fresh Fruit Bunch - Grading Manual. •

Consignment of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) that has poor quality bunches and exceeding:

FFB GRADING MANUAL

• •

the 20% of maximum allowable limit for empty bunches or; the 30% of maximum allowable limit for dirty bunches should be rejected and return back to the supplier the whole load.

In practice, it is not possible to obtain hundred percent good quality bunches and hence a reasonably good quality consignment should comprised of the following combination of bunch quality : Bunch Category

Limit

Ripe Bunch

> 90%

Underripe Bunch

< 10%

Long Stalk Bunch

• Determination of The Basic Extraction Rate The basic extraction rate is the theoretical extraction rate which is also the maximum extraction rate of the oil and kernel. This extraction rate can be determined in 2 ways that is by the age of the palm and the bunch weight. • Determination of The Basic Extraction Rate Based On The Age of The Palm The basic extraction rate can be determined by the age of the palm provided that the information regarding the year when the oil palm was planted is known (Refer to APPENDIX I). This method is suitable for mills that receive fruits from their own estates. • Determination of The Basic Extraction Rate Based On The Bunch Weight This method is suitable for mills that receive their supplies from outside estates and dealers who do not have information regarding the age of the oil palm (Refer to APPENDIX II). The average bunch weight can be calculated by dividing the net weight (as stated in the weighbridge slip) with the total number of bunches.
