🔶 Performance, Mass–Energy & Utilities

Throughput & Yields (indicative, per 10 TPH FFB)

CPO yield: 20–23% on FFB → 2.0–2.3 TPH CPO.

PK yield: 5–7% on FFB → 0.5–0.7 TPH kernel to PKO line.

By-products (typical on FFB): fiber 12–14%, shell 6–7%, EFB 20–23%.

Utility Intensities (per ton FFB) and Daily Loads (24 h)

Electricity: 12–20 kWh/t → 2.9–4.8 MWh/day at 240 t/d.

Steam: 0.6–1.0 t/t → 144–240 t/day.

Water: 0.5–1.5 m³/t → 120–360 m³/day (recycling minimized).

POME: 0.6–1.0 m³/t → 144–240 m³/day to ETP.

CPO Quality: Moisture ≤ 0.25%, impurities ≤ 0.25%, FFA minimized by sterilization discipline.

Values vary with FFB quality, fruit ripeness, integration level, and equipment selection.

🔶 Control, Safety, QA/Traceability

Advanced controls: sterilization “recipes”, press torque/power trends, decanter vibration/temperature, purifier differential pressure, vacuum dryer moisture trending; real-time OEE.

Safety: guarded nip points, emergency stops, pressure relief, compliant platforms and handrails, hot-surface shielding.

QA/QC plan: inline sampling; FFA (hourly), DOBI (Deterioration of Bleachability Index) per batch/shift, moisture/impurities (Karl Fischer & gravimetric), sludge oil losses, tank settlement tests.

RSPO chain of custody: MB (Mass Balance) or SG (Segregated) with digital lot tracking.

🔶 Layout, Civil, Integration

Compact gravity flow: sterilizer → thresher (upper level) → digesters/presses (mid-level) → clarification (lower).

Civil: reinforced floors for heavy rotating equipment; pits for sand traps/clarifiers; truck circulation & EFB yard drainage.

Noise & air: acoustic lagging of blowers; adequate ventilation in digestion/press halls; deodorization hoods where required.

Scalability: press & centrifuge N+1 blocks; boiler/turbine sized with future tie-in points.

🔶 Environmental & Energy Integration

Boiler fuel balance: fiber + shell generally sufficient for steam self-sufficiency; shredded EFB and biogas add margins in wet season.

Biogas use: boiler co-fire or dedicated biogas boiler; flare as last resort; condensate/condensers for H₂S mitigation.

ETP: equalization → anaerobic (UASB/CSTR) → aerobic (facultative/MBR) → polishing; sludge dewatering by decanter/press.

Emissions: dust control (multicyclone/baghouse), stack monitoring; ash reuse in field (per agronomic plans).

🔶 Commissioning & Ramp-Up (10-week plan from Mechanical Completion)

W1–W2: Mechanical completion, IO checks, dry runs; pressure tests; safety interlocks validation.

W3–W4: Boilers/steam system commissioning, hot oil/condensate loops, sterilizer water runs, functionals.

W5–W6: First fruit runs at reduced rate; tuning thresher/digester/press parameters; clarification balance.

W7–W8: Full-rate operation; purifier/vacuum dryer optimization; ETP biological start-up; operator certification.

W9–W10: Performance Test (throughput, yields, utilities, CPO specs); punch-list closeout; documentation handover.

Deliverables include PFDs (Process Flow Diagrams), P&IDs (Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams), GA layouts, utility balance, data sheets, FAT/SAT records, SOPs, maintenance plans, and training certificates.

🔶 Spares, Training, O&M

Initial spares (12 months critical): press wear parts (worms/cages), ripple-mill beaters, purifier seals, decanter bearings, pump mechanical seals, screen panels, V-belts, instruments (T/P/level), VFD/PLC I/O.

Training program: operator & maintainer tracks (process theory, sterilizer discipline, centrifuge & purifier care, boiler firing, ETP biology, LOTO, confined space).

Preventive strategy: monthly condition checks, quarterly PMs, annual statutory inspections of pressure parts; vibration and oil-analysis for rotating equipment.

🔶 Commercial Package (What We Deliver)

Engineering package: PFDs, P&IDs, GA, foundation loads, cable/pipe lists, cause-and-effect matrices.

Scope options: supply-only; supply + supervision; full EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) with performance guarantees.

Financials: CAPEX/OPEX models, BoM, life-cycle cost, energy balance; ROI sensitivity to FFB quality, seasonality, and energy prices.

Compliance dossier: pressure vessel files, electrical/ATEX (where applicable), RSPO/ISO templates, environmental permits support.

✅ Investment Thesis

A 10 TPH RSPO-aligned palm oil mill with biomass CHP and robust clarification delivers bankable yields, low unit energy, and export-grade CPO quality. Integrated by-product valorization (fiber/shell/EFB/biogas) underpins utility self-sufficiency and mitigates fuel risk.
