LITERATURE REVIEW
THE HISTORY OF THE PALM OIL MILL IS TRACED BACK TO MORE
THAN 5000 YEARS AGO WHEN IT WAS USED AS COOKING OIL IN
WEST AFRICAN COUNTRIES, IT WAS OCCASIONALLY PURCHASED
BY THE EUROPEAN MERCHANTS BUT IT REMAINED RARE
OUTSIDE WEST AFRICA.
➢THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION IN THE MID-19
TH
CENTURY
CAUSED A SURGE IN DEMAND FOR PALM OIL IN EUROPE, THIS
LED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF PALM OIL PLANTATIONS.
➢BY THE 1870’S PALM OIL WAS THE PRIMARY EXPORT OF
MANY WEST AFRICAN COUNTRIES, HOW EVER PRODUCTION
WAS STILL DEPENDENT ON SEMI WILD PALM GROVES AND
MANUAL PROCESSING.
➢TODAY SOUTH EAST ASIA IS THE CENTRE OF GLOBAL PALM OIL
PRODUCTION, WITH INDONESIA AND MALAYSIA PRODUCING
AROUND 85% OF THE WORLD’S SUPPLY.
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE PALM OIL MILL
LARGE SCALE PALM OIL PROCESSING FEATURES ALL
STAGES REQUIRED TO PRODUCE PALM OIL TO
INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS, AND GENERALLY HANDLE
FROM 3-60 TONNES OF FFB/HR.
LARGE INSTALLATIONS HAVE MECHANICAL HANDLING
SYSTEMS AND OPERATE CONTINOUSLY DEPENDING ON
THE AVAILABILITY OF FFB BOILERS FUELED BY FIBER AND
SHELL WHICH PRODUCE SUPER HEATED STEAM THAT IS
USED TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY THROUGH
TURBINE GENERATORS.

LITERATURE REVIEW CLASSIFICATION OF PALM FRUIT BUNCHES
RIPE BUNCH
THE BUNCH WHICH HAS REDDISH
ORANGE COLOR WITH AT LEAST 10
DETACHED FRUITS AND MORE THAN
50% OF THE FRUIT STILL ATTACHED
TO THE BUNCH.
EMPTY FRUIT BUNCH
THE BUNCH WHICH HAS
MORE THAN 90% OF ITS
FRUITS DETACHED.
UNRIPE BUNCH
THE BUNCH WHICH HAS
PURPLISH COLOR FRUITS,
WITHOUT ANY FRUIT
DETACHED.
OVER RIPE BUNCH
THE BUNCH WHICH IS DARKISH
RED WITH MORE THAN 50% OF
DETACHED FRUITLETS BUT AT
LEAST 10% OF THE FRUITS STILL
ATTACHED TO THE BUNCH.
THE OPTIMAL TIME FOR PLANTING THE OIL PALM IS IN THE RAINY SEASON IN ORDER FOR THE
PLANTS TO ESTABLISH THEIR ROOTS BEFORE DROUGHT. THE PLANT SPROUTS ARE PLACED IN A
TRIANGULAR PATTERN WITH ENOUH SPACECE FOR GROWING (9MX9MX9M). THIS PLANTING
METHOD ALLOWS SPACING AROUND 145 PLANTS PER HECTARE.
IT IS DONE ONCE EVERY TEN DAYS. HARVESTING OF THE PALM FRUIT BUNCHES
INVOLVES CUTTING THE BUNCH FROM THE TREE AND ALLOWING IT TO FALL BY
GRAVITY. BRUSING THE FRUIT INCREASES THE FRESH FATTY ACID WHICH ADDS BITE TO THE
OIL.,EVERYTHING HARVESTED IS RECORDED. HARVESTING IS DONE IN A TEAM OF THREE, THIS
INVOLVES:
1. THE PERSON HARVESTING AND FROND STACKING
2. THE PERSON COLLECTING THE FRESH FRUIT BUNCHES,CUTTING OF LONG STACKS AND STACKING
BUNCHES.
3. THE PERSON COLLECTING LOOSE FRUITS
IT IS A TROPICAL PLANT, SO IT GROWS BEST IN STABLE-WARM AREAS WITH SUFFICIENT SOIL
MOISTURE ALL YEAR ROUND. THE OPTIMAL TEMPERATURES FOR THE CULTIVATION OF OIL PALM
ARE 30–32°C (86–89.6°F) FOR 80 DAYS MINIMUM.
TEMPERATURES BELOW 20°C (68°F) AND ABOVE 40°C (104°F) ARE CRITICAL FOR
GROWING AND ADVERSELY AFFECT CROP PRODUCTION.

LITERATURE REVIEW PALM FRUIT BY-PRODUCTS
METHOD OF MANAGEMENT
EFFLUENT : THIS IS WASTE WATER FROM PALM OIL PROCESSING, IT CAN CONTAIN A MIXTURE OF
ORGANIC MATTER, PALM OIL RESIDUES, SUSPENDED SOLIDS AND POTENTIALLY HARMFUL CHEMICALS.
TREATMENT :THE EFFLUENT IS TREATED IN AEROBIC AND ANAEROBIC PONDS BY THE PALM
OIL MILL BEFORE BEING USED AS FERTILIZERS FOR THE PALM OIL FRUIT PLANTATION
SLUDGE : THE SLUDGE IS THE SOLID WASTE
GOTTEN DURING PAL OIL PROCESSING, IT IS
COMPOSED OF RESIDUAL PALM OIL, FIBER, SHELLS,
AND OTHER SOLID PARTICLES THAT ARE
SEPARATED FROM THE CRUDE OIL DURING
CLARIFICATION, SETTLING AND OTHER TREATMENT
STEPS.
TREATMENT: THE SLUDGE IS FURTHER
PROCESSED TO RECOVER ANY REMAINING PALM
OIL
AND WHEN ALL THE OIL IS RECOVERED, IT IS USED
AS A SOIL CONDITIONER IN THE PALM OIL
FRUIT PLANTATION.
EMPTY PALM FRUIT BUNCHES : THESE
BUNCHES ARE LEFT BEHIND AFTER THE EXTRACTION
OF
PALM SEED FROM THEM. THEY ARE THE FLESHY
OUTER COVERINGS THAT HOLD THE OIL PALM
FRUIT.
TREATMENT: THE EMPTY PALM OIL BUNCHES ARE
USED AS BIOMASS FUEL SOURCE FOR
GENERATING HEAT AND ELECTRICITY. THEY CAN BE
BURNED IN BOILERS TO PRODUCE STEAM
WHICH CAN THEN DRIVE TURBINES FOR ELECTRICAL
GENERATION.
EMPTY PALM KERNEL SHELL
THEY ARE WASTE PRODUCT OF THE PALM OIL INDUSTRY AND ARE OBTAINED AS A RESIDUAL WASTE FROM THE
CRACKING OF PALM KERNELS AND EXTRACTION OF NUTS IN THE MILL
TREATMENT
THE EMPTY PALM KERNEL SHELL ARE USED AS BIOMASS FUEL SOURCE FOR GENERATING HEAT AND ELECTRICITY.
THEY CAN BE BURNED IN BOILERS TO PRODUCE STEAM WHICH CAN THEN DRIVE TURBINES FOR ELECTRICAL

PRODUCTION OUTPUT/ WORKFORCE
THE EFFICIENCY RATE IS GIVEN AS: 85% [EFFICIENCY REPRESENTS THE RATIO OF ACTUAL
OUTPUT TO THE THEORITICAL MAXIMUM OUTPUT UNDER IDEAL CONDITIONS.
ACCORDING TO WORLD WILDLIFE FUND [WWF] AND SUSTAINABLE PALM OIL CHOICE [SPOC]
1 HECTARE OF OIL PALM PLANTATION PRODUCES 33 TONS OF CRUDE PALM OIL PER
ANNUM [3.3 TPH/HA/YR].
▪CALCULATE ANNUAL PALM OIL PRODUCTION:
ANNUAL PRODUCTION{TONS} = YEILD PER HECTARE [TPH/HA/YEAR] x TOTAL HECTARES 3.3
TPH/HA/YEAR x 6025 HECTARES= 19882.5
▪CALCULATE DAILY PRODUCTION
ANNUAL PRODUCTION [TONS]/ DAYS OF OPERATION PER YEAR DAILY PRODUCTION [TPD]=
19882.5 /345 =57.6 TPD
• CALCULATE ACTUAL DAILY PALM OIL PRODUCTION:
ACTUAL DAILY PRODUCTION [TPD] = DAILY PRODUCTION [TPD] x EFFICIENCY
ACTUAL DAILY PRODUCTION [TPD]=57.6 x 0.85 = 49
WITH THIS WE CAN ESTIMATE THAT 6025 HA IS ABLE TO PRODUCE 49 TONS PER DAY

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
WHEN DESIGNING A SPACE FOR PRODUCTION, IT'S IMPORTANT TO
PRIORITIZE FACTORS SUCH AS DAYLIGHTING AND NATURAL
AIRFLOW. THESE ELEMENTS NOT ONLY CREATE A PLEASANT
WORKING ENVIRONMENT BUT ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO INCREASED
PRODUCTIVITY. ORIENTATION OF THE DESIGN PLAYS A CRUCIAL
ROLE IN MAXIMIZING THESE BENEFITS. ADDITIONALLY, ENSURING
GOOD ACCESS TO THE SITE IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE OVERALL
FUNCTIONALITY OF THE DESIGN.
THE SELECTION OF BUILDING MATERIALS FOR THE DESIGN
MUST BE DONE WITH GREAT CARE AS IT AFFECTS THE OVERALL
EFFICIENCY, SAFETY, SUSTAINABILITY, AND COMFORT OF THE
FACILITY. WHEN CHOOSING BUILDING MATERIALS, VARIOUS
CRITERIA SUCH AS CLIMATE, STRUCTURAL STRENGTH, FIRE
RESISTANCE, AND HYGIENE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS THEY
ARE CRUCIAL FOR THE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING OF THE
OCCUPANTS.
INCORPORATING ORGANIC DESIGN PRINCIPLES INTO THE ARCHITECTURAL
PLANNING OF A FACILITY IS CRUCIAL. BY DOING SO, IT CAN IMPROVE
WORKER SAFETY, EFFICIENCY, AND OVERALL PRODUCTIVITY. MOREOVER, IT
CAN HELP REDUCE WORKPLACE INJURIES AND BOOST EMPLOYEE MORALE,
ULTIMATELY CONTRIBUTING TO THE SUCCESS OF THE FACILITY..
IT IS ESSENTIAL TO ENSURE THAT THE PALM OIL
FACTORY HAS THE NECESSARY
INFRASTRUCTURE, SUCH AS WATER, POWER
SUPPLY, AND COMMUNICATION LINES, TO
FUNCTION SMOOTHLY.
SOUND BUFFERS, ACOUSTIC PANELS, AND INSULATION
WALLS ARE USED TO CREATE A HARMONIOUS
ENVIRONMENT AROUND THE MACHINERY AREA WHILE
REDUCING NOISE.
