To produce quality palm oil, mature palm fruit is needed. Maturity of Oil Palm Fruit Bunches (FFB) is usually determined by the number of loose fruits falling from the bunch 1.Besides, maturity
Introduction. Palm oil is extracted from fresh fruit bunches (FFB) by a mechanical process, whereby a mill commonly handles 60 to 100 mt per hour of FFB. The palm oil mill of today is based predominantly on concepts developed in the early 1950s (Mongana Report). An average size FFB weighs about 20-30 kg and contains 1500-2000 fruits ( Fig. 1 ).
Critical evaluation of oil palm fresh fruit bunch solid
Palm oil is produced by processing oil palm fresh fruit bunch (FFB), which leads to the generation of FFB solid wastes. Notable FFB solid wastes are empty fruit bunch (EFB), mesocarp fibre (MF), and palm kernel shell (PKS) while palm oil mill effluent is the liquid wastes (Fig. 1). Other residues and/by-products processed from FFB solid wastes
mill. Oil was extracted as described in Section2.3and the FFA level was determined as described in Section2.2. (c) Collection of FFB during mill processing The random sampling of ten oil palm FFBs was performed in the ramp area after the emptying of the 8-m bin, as well as at different points on the conveyor belt in the mill.

Minimizing water consumption in oil palm sterilization using
In a palm oil mill, Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) have to be delivered within 24 h after being harvested to avoid increased FFA, which would degrade palm oil quality (Osawa et al., 2007). Fig. 1 shows the typical palm oil milling process. The bunches are sterilized immediately in a sterilizer using steam generated by a boiler.
Currently, the oil palm FFB is harvested manually, with maturity being guided by FFB color and the number of loose fruitlets on the ground. Harvesting is done when FFBs turn into orange-red or once the fruitlets on the ground are identified and counted. A fruitlet is an individual and single fruit of oil palm FFB (Figure1). Figure 1.
Improving Sustainability of Palm Oil Production by Increasing
A palm oil mill typically adopts a solvent-free process that uses steam and water for oil extraction. Interestingly, the process to extract the oil from the palm fruitlets has remained relatively unchanged for the past 50 years. Figure 1 shows the block flow diagram of a typical palm oil mill for the production of crude palm oil. The major unit
However, the extraction and purification processes in oil palm processing are invariably accompanied by a considerable amount of generated waste. For every tonne of processed fresh fruit bunches (FFB), 0.5–0.7 tonnes of palm oil mill effluent (POME) and 0.37 tonnes of solid waste are generated (The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2019).
