INTRODUCTION

Palm or its scientific name Elaeis guineesis is actually native to South Africa. In 1848, four palm tree seedlings were brought from Africa and planted in Bogor Botanical Gardens, Indonesia. In the 1880s, this seed was then brought to Deli, Sumatra to be planted as a decorative plant. In 1911, the seeds were then brought to Rantau Panjang, Kuala Selangor, as well as ornamental plants.

The early history of the palm oil industry in Malaysia began in 1917, when the dura palm oil of Dura (thick shell) from Rantau Panjang, Selangor was planted in the Tenmaran Estate, Kuala Selangor. By conducting several research methods and understanding the succession of oil palm fruit, the commercial cultivation of the Dura breed to the Dura x Pisifiera (DxP) crossbreed breed began. The fruit of Pisifera is a fruitless shell of fruit, known as a female forearm, which is a female flower that should grow into fruit and the bunch will fall before maturity. The DxP crossbred breeds produce tanera (palm oil with thin shells). Palm trees using DxP breeds are lower and their bunches are very large. There are many advantages when this type of DxP breeds is planted. First, because it is lower than the Dura breed, it makes it easier for plantation workers to pluck palm oil. Secondly, more palm trees can be planted in one hectare of land because of the lower nature of the tree and the third, due to the thin nature of its shell, it produces much oil.

Oil palms are palm trees which grow hundreds of little orange/red fruits that are squashed, squeezed and pulped to produce palm oil.  It is estimated that 33% of all the products in your local supermarket contain palm oil - that’s a lot of products. It is used in bread, cereals, chocolates, pizzas, cleaning products, chewing gum and even shampoo.

Sometimes land is cleared so that it can be replanted with valuable cash crops such as the oil palm plant, which produces palm oil.  It can also be used as a biofuel instead of petrol or diesel.  Indonesia produces 90% of the world's palm oil and aims to double its production by 2020.  Palm oil production is such a huge business in Malaysia and Indonesia that the latter has gained the title of “World’s Fastest Rainforest Destroyer” in the Guinness Book of World Records!

Palm Oil valuable trees are harvested and the rest are burnt to clear the land for the farming of palm oil.  As the soil’s fertility does not last forever, the people at the head of logging companies avoid bankruptcy by buying up new areas of forest.   Burning the trees and the peatlands beneath them is highly polluting although the ash improves the soil’s fertility before planting. 

In burning the rainforests Indonesia is also burning the peatlands below which store masses of carbon.  Their peatlands cover just 0.1% of the earth’s land, yet contribute to 4% of the world’s greenhouse gases. This makes Indonesia the country with the 3rd largest carbon footprint in the world, when deforestation is taken into account!  Bio-fuel targets in Europe mean that demand for palm oil is set to increase, despite the fact that more pollution is caused producing bio-fuels than is saved by not using petrol and diesel.

•  Tapis Palm Oil Mill fully owned  by Syarikat Ladang Sungai Terah Sdn.Bhd (SLSTSB) located at Kg.Jerimbong Jajahan Jeli ,Kelatan.

•        The current palm oil market price at 1 ton is RM2140.

PROCESS PALM OIL 

1. STERILIZATION
2. FRUIT BUNCHING DATE
3. REMOVE THE FROM THE SHELL
4. MESOCARP IS SQUEEZED USING HYDRAULIC PRESSURE
5. THE FILTER IS FILTERED AND DISCARDED
6. PURIFICATION

A. Sterilization station

- This decoction machine performs a process of boiling palm oil which serves to make palm fruit easily separated from the bunch.

B. Depericarper station

- The depericarper machine is a tool that comes with a blower fan that is used to suck the fiber so that it separates from the nut and brings the fiber to become a boiler fuel.

C. CPO Bulk storage tank

-  In this part, only about 2 tanks are needed with a tank of 2,000 tons. Works as an oil storage tank before it is distributed to consumers.

D. Kernel recovery station

- Works to recover oil from diluted crude oil by static separation and centrifuging separation.

E. Phase decanter machine

- separation equipment using centrifugal acceleration generated by high-speed rotation into gravity acceleration to shorten the thousands of times the solu- tion of solid particles from within the field of gravity and is widely used in palm oil recovery

.

F. Palm bunch reception

-Gather fresh ripening fruit from the garden and carried by truck, then fluster poured into discharge door after weighing weight

G. Process of treshing

-The process serves to separate the fruits of palm oil from the bunches
