Abstract
Sterilization process is one of the keys to success in a Palm Oil Mill. In conventional palm oil mills that use horizontal serilization, the fruit is heated in a closed vessel using pressurized steam at a pressure of 40 psi and a temperature of 140oC. The performance parameters that determine the success of the process in intermediate sterilization are pressure, temperature and time as well as steam requirements. This study aims to determine the correlation between the area under sterilization graph represent the measurement of time and pressure from every cycle of sterilization to oil losses in the condensate and empty bunch. The results show that the higher the sterilization graph area which represents pressure and time, the higher the percentage of oil losses in condensate water and the lower the oil losses in empty bunches.
