    Sludge Dewatering Tube Utilization - Palm Oil Hunter

    Uploaded by

    uma shankar balakrishnan
    The document summarizes an experiment studying the utilization of effluent POME geo tubes. It finds that geo tube 1 filled with 108 metric tons of slurry POME at 88.36% moisture over 3 days. Geo tube 2 filled with 118 metric tons at 88.22% moisture over 5 days. Geo tube 3 filled with 136 metric tons at 76.45% moisture over 8 days. Based on processing 384,000 metric tons of FFB annually, it estimates that between 128-192 geo tubes would be required to hold the solid content of the effluent POME produced, costing between $468,000-691,200.

    Note: All 3 Geo Tubes stopped filling on the same day.

    b. 200g sample has been taken from each Geo tube.


    c. Physically, the dimension of Geo tubes has been measured to determine the existing filled
    volume.
    d. Density of Slurry POME has been calculated.
    e. Samples have been tested in the Mill Laboratory to determine moisture contains.
    f. Sample No.3 will be sent to research centre in Ladang Sabah nutrients composition testing..

    5.0 Cost estimation Geo Tube Required for Licensed FFB processed per year

    Parameters:

    1. Total FFB Processed(MPOB) = 384,000 mt / year


    2. Total Effluent Produce = 85% of FFB Processed
    3. Weight of one Geo Tube = 136 mt
    4. Correction factor based on
    Percentage of total Solid in the slurry from = 8 %

    5.1 Calculation ( Based on result produced by Laboratory)

    Total POME produces if process 384,000 = 384000 x 85%


    = 384,00 x 0.85
    = 326400 mt

    Total Solid content in POME produced = 326400 x 8%


    = 26112 mt

    5.1.1 Geo tube required for solid produced/Year = Total solid produced / Capacity of one Geo Tube
    = 26112 / 136
    = 192 bags

    5.1.2 Cost = 192 x RM 3600/bag


    = RM 691,200

    5.2 Calculation ( Based on actual crop received on 2011/2012)

    Total POME produces if process 384,000 = 256052.12 x 85%


    = 256052.12 x 0.85
    = 217644.3 mt

    Total Solid content in POME produced = 217644.3 x 8%


    = 17411.544 mt

    5.1.1 Geo tube required for solid produced/Year = Total solid produced / Capacity of one Geo Tube
    = 17411.544 / 136
    = 128.03 bags
    ≈ 130 bags

    5.1.2 Cost = 130 x RM 3600/bag


    = RM 468,000
