| description | Palm oil production has become one of the essential economical in Malaysia, where
it is one of the world's largest oil palm producer and exporter. The rapid growth of the palm oil
mill as the primary product dominating Malaysian agriculture industries leads to the increasing
of energy usage. However, the efficiency of electrical energy usage has been recognized as one
of the significant factors to reduce the cost of electrical energy consumption. This research
aims to determine the energy consumption of palm oil mill process and proposed improvement
to its potential energy consumption. This research is limited to the energy efficiency
improvement in one of Malaysia palm oil industry. The palm oil mill selection and the palm oil
mill processes have been identifying in the early phases. Four main palm oil processes which
are fruit bunch reception, sterilizing, threshing and pressing have been investigating to improve
the energy efficiency. From the calculation of processing palm oil processes, the monthly
electrical consumption was near to 127MWh. The result found that 31.49% of energy
consumption can be reduced in a month by the selected palm oil mill processes by replacing
the current motor to high-efficiency motor. |
