• How a palm oil mill can reduce the cost of electrical energy consumption?
  • 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.
  • How much energy does palm oil mill use?
  • 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.

  • What is palm oil mill selection & process?
  • 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.
  • How can palm oil mill plant save energy?
  • As proposed have been summarized, it estimated that the potential energy saving is about 40,202.50kWh per month or equivalent to RM 11, 658. Therefore, by using this way, palm oil mill plant can save approximately 31.49% of energ y consumption in a month. (UTHM). P.A. Owusu, S. Asumadu¨CSarkodie.
  • Can palm oil mill effluent be used to produce biogas?
  • Using palm oil mill effluent (POME) to produce biogas is an alternative and sustainable way to control POME GHG emissions while also providing economic benefits. The increasing area of oil palm plantations encourages an increase in palm oil production and the generation of POME in Indonesia.
  • Is it possible to increase the capacity of a palm oil mill?
  • Thus, increasing the capacity of the palm oil mill is not practical. On the other hand, the number of palm oil mills on Bangka Island that processes POME into biogas and electricity is still limited, so it is possible to increase the availability of POME by purchasing from other mills.
