Material balances of a palm oil mill clarification station

For optimum control of the oil recovery process in an oil mill it is necessary to know the quantity and the composition of each flow stream. Such information is not available from existing mill control data systems. A new "mass balance system" of data collection and interpretation, which would permit the estimation of individual process efficiency, was tested for its suitability for adoption in the clarification station of an oil mill. The information obtained from the clarification station were: (a) estimates of mass flow rates and the variation inflow rate between hours for each process stream; (b) estimates of the oil recovery efficiency and the variability of each process unit; and (c) an estimate of the oil recovery efficiency and the variation in efficiency of the clarification station. The trial demonstrated that the entire material balances of the clarification station could be determined
